perseverance is my thing. Music has been the cosmic force in saving my life, my sanity and my solitude.  Generally ignored as a child music never betrayed me. I have played many instruments in my time and will never master one. Music is my therapy. I enjoy it and hope you can too.

Sean Bauzay is back! A raver child of the mid-90's, Sean was born into electronic music during the heyday of Florida Breaks. He was sucked into the scene on the strengths of groundbreaking acts like Rabbit In The Moon, DJ Icey and Baby Anne. Besides those artists, he counts other prominent acts he's followed since the mid-'90 as influences, such as Überzone, Crystal Method, Chemical Brothers, The Orb and Prodigy. He attended parties at venues where the music mattered, like The Edge in Fort Lauderdale and multiple rave festivals, like Zen and Ultra, at its genesis.

Sean's love for electronic music expanded to embrace Progressive House during the late '90s rise of that genre, when innovative artists like Sasha & Digweed caught his attention. On the cusp of a new millennium, Sean felt called to throw his own hat into the DJ ring in 1999, and found swift success. He developed a personal style that was a mix of Breaks and Progressive House that worked like magic on the dance floors that he rocked. In 2001, he took top prize in a DJ competition with popular nightlife website, cooljunkie.com, which awarded him a slot on the decks at the infamous Club Space in Miami, at it's storied, original location. He opened for local, Miami fave, Edgar V. One of Sean's proudest accomplishments as a DJ was playing several Hallucination Recordings parties in Ybor City with Rabbit In The Moon duo, DJ Monk and David Christophere (aka Confucius), and DJ Three. They were amongst Sean's biggest influences, and he now counts them as friends.

Sean went on to play at many of the top venues in Miami, including Liquid, Living Room, Crobar and  Level. The scene was starting to change, though. Sean was uncomfortable with the shift towards commercialization in the electronic music and club scene. Things were also shifting from vinyl to digital format. Sean, a purist, finally showed up at a club with his records to play, and they had no turntables. Sean was becoming estranged from a scene that was becoming full of itself – more about the glitz, and less about the music and craft.

Sean decided to go back to his roots as a drummer. To this day, he still drums professionally, most recently backing Morrison, an up and coming Miami singer, guitarist and songwriter, who was just named “Best Solo Act” by Miami New Times for 2019.

In recent years, Sean started getting the itch to DJ, again. He still felt a pull towards electronic dance music and it's driving beats and booming bass lines. Bass is in his blood.  New styles of music were forming. New subcultures were forming in the dance world.

It didn't take long for Sean to rise back into prominence in the Miami dance music scene. He held a residency with the successful and growing “Ritual” party. Ritual is headed by Sean's long time friend and fellow DJ, RC (Robert Cournoyer), who was a big influence in getting Sean back into the DJ game. At Ritual, Sean has played with international acts, like SIS and Djuma Soundsystem, as well as prominent local acts, like Fiin, Patrick M and Magician on Duty.

Watch out for Sean Bauzay! He is back with a vengeance!

For clarification purposes:-
Not a single track on my Soundcloud page has been ‘stolen’ by me from any Facebook page. Everything has either been in my possession on various hard-drives for years, or has been found elsewhere on that there Internet thing we all love.
Most of the soundboard live gigs originated from a close personal family member about 15 years ago, and you don’t see me bleating about THEFT THEFT THEFT!!
Furthermore, I’ve recently uploaded some newly extracted unreleased and unheard Orb stuff, that I am more than happy for anyone, absolutely anyone to rip, steal or borrow.

I'm a Londoner who lives in Portland and I love listening to The Orb, the output of Dr Alex Paterson & earthy ambient techno soul, especially from the early 90s. Mostly vinyl mixes posted here. 

I'm available to play at your chillout space / event.

Put the kettle on and skin up.
