MOD82 Podcast series #010
We’ve made it to our Podcast No.10, and we’re celebrating with an Colombian-born, Spanish-raised artist, Johan Sebastian.
+
He’s been into the electronic scene since a young age in the south of Spain, and After moving to London, his sound and vision began to consolidate, his performances enabled him to move around the capital and other cities in Europe.
+
The UK-based label, Platform 22, was the first label to release his productions in 2020. His sound is fast paced, deep, hypnotic, and rhythmic, with a touch of 90s sonic inspiration, which you can definitely appreciate in today’s mixset.
+
We’ve made it this far because of y’all. We deeply appreciate all the support for the past 10 weeks! But we’re not done yet, so make sure to stay tuned for fresh mixes every Thursday!
+
Shout out to all artists that joined us on our series!
And as always, stay safe, turn the volume up, and enjoy!

MOD82 series #010 - Johan Sebastián

Engineer at Soundcloud, building features for creators 

As a DJ, I combine the relentless sound of hypnotic techno with my original research in metaphysics in order to transform philosophical ideas into a sonic experience of mind-body synergy. 

Inspired by the elusive relation between mind and matter, I take the perspective of neutral monism: that, at the most fundamental level of existence there is only one thing, and it is neither physical nor mental but rather constitutes the a priori dimension of possibility from which all reality derives.

My audio project 'Organic Technique' demonstrates an original method of recording raw vocals to create multifunctional DJ tools with no production whatsoever. Intended to be mixed directly in DJ sets, the raw samples are recorded by interdisciplinary vocalists exploring concepts in metaphysics, neuroscience, and linguistics.

Alongside, I specialise in fine art analogue photography, which has been featured as cover art by Codecast, Johan Sebastian, and on Freddy K’s Krzrzrz radio show – consolidated in my print exhibition series 'Fundamentals'. My ongoing DJ portrait series 'Naturalism' aims to converge aesthetics, sound, and semantics through synesthetic states of mind, using an original dynamic portraiture process. 

Finally, following 3 years of concept writing for releases on Platform 22, I continue to create original concepts for my mix releases and independent projects on www.fradkin.nl.

Born and raised in Buenos Aires, Argentina, actually living in South Korea.
