Sebastian Albrecht calls it the absolute flash. Born and raised in the electronic music capital of Europe, this Berlin native has techno in his blood. After an early listen to a mix CD put out by nightlife mainstay Tresor in 1991, Sebastian fell fast and hard for the kind of full bodied techno that fueled Berlin at that time. His productions are an astute distillation of the city: crisp concrete groove, purposeful beats, and urbane narratives underscored by carefully curated samples. Playing out solely as a live act, Sebastian favors a human touch — on-the-spot edits, recombined soundscapes, and hands-on synthesizing that makes each set completely unique. This style that has brought him to clubs and venues in Berlin, Paris, Zurich, Montreal, Moscow, London, Toronto, and Barcelona.

2013 welcomed Park Recordings, the label he runs with friend and fellow artist Florist. Focusing on minimal house and techno releases mastered by Sebastian himself, Park is quickly establishing itself among local and international artists. The label likewise benefits from Sebastian’s hand, absorbing the grounded realism with which he approaches his music.
