SEBA & PARADOX - CYPHER / ORLEAN

Seba, real name Sebastian Ahrenberg, is a Swedish drum and bass producer and DJ. Seba is also the owner of Secret Operations, a drum and bass record label based in Stockholm, Sweden. With drum and bass being a very unknown/unpopular genre in Sweden when he started out, literally ordering records over the phone from England because they weren't available, Seba had to call record stores and listen through the receiver before ordering. When he started making his own music, he sent it directly to London, among other things to one of the genre's biggest, LTJ Bukem. They played at the Fanclub festival in Stockholm and after Seba's set Bukem came up and asked for a song he made, called "Sonic Winds". This became Seba's first professional release, a collaboration with Lo-tek on LTJ Bukem's Good Looking Records in 1995. The duo released Universal Music on Good Looking, after which Seba went on to produce a string of solo releases on various Bukem-owned labels. Today, his music is released on several labels, such as Hospital, Liquicity, and Metalheadz. In 1997 Seba created a night club named Secret Operations in the basement club Tuben in central Stockholm. Two years later Secret Operations released Case One, a CD compilation of works by Seba (under the pseudonym Forme) and other artists. From 1999 to 2003, Seba released a number of mostly house music works on the Swedish Svek label attributed to Seba and Forme. He has also joined with Jesper Dahlbäck (aka Lenk) for the collaborative house music effort known as Sunday Brunch. The two would release a number of tunes on vinyl as well as full length CD entitled No Resistance in 2002. In 2002, Seba began releasing drum and bass records again. For the first time on his own Secret Operations label as well as various others. While no longer under Bukem's eye, Seba's music retained its deep atmospheric sound while sometimes adding a more aggressive edge not often heard in his earlier works. Secret Operations first release was Pieces, a collaboration between Seba, Lenk and an uncredited Robert Manos as vocalist. Manos had previously recorded with the duo for Sunday Brunch, but this was the first of many times he would join Seba on a drum and bass project. In 2004 Seba joined forces with drumfunk all-star Paradox, and the two put out a large number of albums from 2004-2006, with 2005 seeing an especially large amount of releases. A compilation of their work during this time was released on the CD Beats Me in 2006. Manos also contributed his talents to a number of works during this time frame. Seba speaks in an interview with the Swedish Arts Grants Committee that he chose early on to have a regular job to avoid compromise. When not producing music Seba works as a resource teacher at a school. He goes on to state that he makes "almost no money at all from my music, but I have chosen to make the music I believe in, which has kept me active in one genre of music for almost 30 years."

There are 29 artists with the name Paradox listed here: 1. UK drum and bass artist Dev Pandya, who also produces under the name Alaska. Dev Pandya is a producer from the UK who has in recent years championed a new sub-genre of drum & bass known as drumfunk, which focuses on either finding obscure breakbeats or re-sampling much used drum & bass breakbeats from their original source and transforming them into a drum & bass tempo. Paradox is most certainly a breakbeat pioneer with a production career that has spanned well into it’s second decade. Having first released back in 1990, he’s since released over 100 singles on every leading drum’n’bass label including Reinforced, Good Looking, and Metalheadz, in addition to his own imprints such as Paradox Music, Arctic, Esotic, and Outsider. In the last couple years his collaborations with good mate Seba, and vocalist Robert Manos have solidified this man’s reputation as not only a talented breaks master, but a gifted songwriter with mass-appeal as well. Paradox is currently involved in two collaborations with artists outside of drum and bass with The artists Herbie Hancock (who has heavily influenced much of his early work) and Carlos Santana.
