When asked about the beginning of his career, Sebastian Krieg finds it quite difficult to remember specific details. His love affair with music began in the early 90s, which drove him to experiment with DJing and producing at an early age—much to the dislike of his roommates and neighbours. Nearly two decades later, Sebastian has made a world-wide name for himself as one of the top progressive producers, and the half French half German living in Munich is looking forward to many upcoming projects he’s working on.
Approximately the last decade of his career, Sebastian has partnered with Roman F., creating Shik Stylko, and generating much world-wide attention with releases on Defected, Stereo Productions, Freerange, and Peppermint Jam to name a few.
Now, Sebastian is more focusing to his own stuff as well as working on many different projects. In 2009, collaboration with Jerome Isma-ae allowed the team to produce the smash hit “308”, the track with a huge break down where you can hear an actual Ferrari 308 rapidly accelerating over dance floors world-wide. The massive track ended up gaining the support of many international DJs, from Sebastian Ingrosso to Armin van Buuren—who ultimately licensed the track for his famous State of Trance compilation.
Sebastian has always been a risk taker with his productions—being inspired by the world around him, from Ferrari’s to movies to international travel inspiring him from all sides. 2010 began with a bang with the release of “Brooklyn” on EDX’s Swiss-based label Pink Star Records. This track can be classified as a progressive house anthem,
but is truly a cross-over hit, breaking down genre barriers through the unique and quality producing by Sebastian—ultimately gaining support by many progressive and house DJs. Krieg feels passionately about this new style, and plans to focus his productions in this direction in the future—unless otherwise inspired!
Sebastian’s passion for travel is supported by his international bookings, with many shows in cities like: Hong Kong, Seoul, Amsterdam, London, Dubai, Antigua in the Caribbean, etc. His diverse residencies over the years have taken him to famous clubs like M1 Club (1995-2003), Pasha Munich, and 4 years of hosting
the House-floor of Cocoon’s label night at Amnesia in Ibiza. Sebastian’s passion for producing is driven by his desire to create the ultimate dance music experience for people in the club that night, and recognition of this by bookers has allowed him to play together with Roger Sanchez, Eric Morillo, Sebastian Ingrosso, Dirty South, and Deep Dish to name a few.
Ultimately, Sebastian’s unique sound and approach to producing has solidified his place in the international electronic dance music scene, and he is very excited for what’s to come in the future!
