⌘ SEAN OCEAN (live vinyl set) (Oakland, CA) ⌘

Sean started his DJ Career in 1997 DJing mostly undergrounds, raves and renegades.. shortly thereafter, he founded DEFSF as a sound company in 2001 and as a promotional crew with a focus on promoting West Coast techno artists in 2003. After DJing for nearly 20 years, Sean packed up his turntables, refocused his efforts and started a new chapter as a new promising live PA in 2014.

"I found that having experience as a visual artist and painter lent itself easily to aspects of music. tones, colors. contrast, frequencies. Textures, LFO and waveforms...in my head, i see visual art and music as one creative idea. I recall staring at the platter of a record as it spun around one day thinking what occurred to me as a minor revelation. Creativity is Creativity. Art is art no matter what the subject. In that way, it clicked sounds were fused with color and pattern in my mind. Since then, that has been the focus of my music and DJing to date, to create architectures with sound and moving huge columns of air with artistic precision in a simultaneous 3d and 4d space."
