FLOORFILLER'S - EVENTS

Another kick-ass bassline reverberates around Cream's main room and the crowd, once again go delirious. Seb Fontaine is in residence, laying down another set of his trademark juggernaut tech-funk and jackhammer beats. This is the sound of a DJ at the top of his game.

Seb has always had entertaining in his blood. This big handsome brut of a man, whose mother used to DJ in Ibizan bars over 30 years ago, started in his teens, cutting up soul and reggae at legendary clubs The Wag & The Fridge.

His first serious clubland residency came from the Ministry of Sound, where he became known as their "Frisky" resident. It soon became apparent that Seb was truly unique as he created a funky chunky party vibe that delighted clubland's glitterati.

Carrying the moniker of the "King Of Tech-House", Seb went on to launch his own successful nights "Malibu Stacey" at Hanover Grand before venturing out of London to pick up Oakey's reigns as superclub Cream's Liverpool & Ibiza resident.

A daunting task for most to step into Oakey' shoes after his legendary two year run, but one that Cream felt only Seb would be capable of doing. It became apparent from his first night behind the decks there that this residency was going to be as special as Oakey's ever was.

Last year also saw Seb launch his Global Underground Prototype series where he explored new territories and redefined the borders of trance, progressive, breakbeat and hard funky twisted house. Prototype made a lot of people sit up and take notice of Seb, including Muzik magazine who put him on the cover of their Jan 2000 issue as the DJ for the next Millenium.

Many DJ's strive to be a chameleon in the mix, to effortlessly glide between indecent driving grooves and hypnotic soaring melodies. To have a telekinetic connection with their audience, to instinctively know the direction a flick of the cross-fader will take the mood. Many DJ's never make it, instead finding themselves the constant champions of the big room tunes.

With his Prototype series Seb Fontaine shifted the balance, instigating a change in his sets, so subtle, yet so powerful that it made the mighty producers at Radio 1 sit up and take notice too!

No novice to the airwaves, Seb once had a 2 year peak time show on London's Kiss FM. Seb was then approached by Radio 1 to work on special projects and fill in for their dance roster.

Seb's vocal confidence and panache on the airwaves ensured his rapport with a nation of listeners. Radio 1 offered him his own show which takes to the air every Saturday night 7pm-9pm from February 2001.

Rest assured whatever we are to expect from Seb in 2001 we can guarantee it will come with the care, consideration, passion and innovation that we have come to know and love from one of the UK's premier talents.
