- Seppa has been producing beats for over 15 years, always finding new ways to keep the dance floor exciting. After working with a variety of small labels as Duskky, it was Wonk#ay Records (which he now co-runs with Bunkle and Aytch) that really pushed him into becoming what he is today. Playing a variety of parties, big and small, gave him a feel for what really works and that has influenced his productions up to the present.
In 2015 he changed his name to Seppa, releasing a single entitled “Trojan/Coriolis” on AutomAte Recordings in February 2016, which was followed up by the EP ‘Homunculus’ in April that year. In November 2016 he released the ‘Displaced’ EP, which covered a variety of atmospheres and speeds whilst keeping a consistently dance floor friendly sound. After co-founding the record label Slug Wife, he turned out a wide variety of material, including his two solo albums to date, 'More' (2018) and 'Split' (2020), both of which were received to great acclaim. He's also put out two albums with collaborator Chalky, entitled 'Bright Spots' (2018) and 'Strange Changes' (2020), exploring instrument driven Jazz flavours and psychedelia. His beat tape, "Whack Lack Vol. 1" (2018), has also become a firm fan favourite alongside numerous Remixes, Singles and EPs.
Having now left Slug Wife behind, and after a few years of big life things - namely becoming a father and a husband - Seppa returns in 2024 with his third full length album, ‘See It Through’. Featuring driving boom bap beats and his inimitable taste for otherworldly soundscapes it’s a narrative experience from start to finish, demanding many full listens to unearth all the hidden details. Whilst designed to be a completely enrapturing home listening experience, Seppa’s production really shines on a sound system, and he’s excited to bring his new musical creations to the dancefloor.

This interview was fantastic, one of my new favorites forsure. Love Seppa
A full hour of Seppa and Mr Bill?! Too cool to be true this one.
the segment on creative limitations really sparked something in me, I appreciate the discourse
the 2 people that have taught me the most about electronic music production
More UK producers please 💜
thisss
Both of the dudes who taught me everything about production. Awesome to see this
i love this interview. the fantastic melo vs. technicality to create emotional reactions part could be a great i guess subjective explanation why i am obsessed with the music from kettel. i value both of this things about music very high. but there was a time i kinda was obsessed with techniques and the melo/chord aspect was less important. really interesting.
this was a great conversation. been waiting for one like this :: )
dude when he talked about viewing music as content nowadays I felt that
Never heard someone use the word like so many times
