Abstract hip-hop, downtempo and midtempo from Decibel Festival’s Executive Director

Nordic Soul has long been enamored with artistic expression, the creation of music and the technology that fuses it all together. Known to his friends as Sean Horton, this DJ, producer, performer and promoter brought to a distinct and dirty Detroit flavor to Seattle in the mid-90s and through the now-infamous Decibel Festival, helped make Seattle a globally-known destination for techno.

Horton’s emotionally-charged sets are infused with live instrumentation and ripe with a melange of organic and synthesized tones underscored by heavy bass lines. A lover of many musical styles, Nordic Soul’s identification with hip hop, IDM, industrial, and dub contribute to his current musical palette. His own production represents the same, and are found on Peloton Music, Buttermilk and K Records.

Since Nordic Soul’s inception in 2003 he’s shared the stage with a diverse cross section of international talent, including Modeselektor, Moby, Bassnectar, Radio Slave, Boys Noize, Luomo, Tipper and Four Tet.
