Sean Dimitrie

House music producer, DJ and jazz guitarist, based in Vancouver, Canada. Makes house, techno, hip-hop, to soul. Collaborated with the London deep house [url=https://www.discogs.com/label/2547-Reverberations]Reverberations[/url] record label in the early 2000s. Also tours with vocalist [url=https://www.discogs.com/artist/91708-Tim-Fuller]Tim Fuller[/url] doing unique live shows that he likes to call spontaneous compositions, with mashups of their impressive catalogue, laced with classic elements of afro-cuban jazz, hip-hop, funk, house, soul and beyond. To say that Vancouver-based Sean ‘Wunder’ or ‘Mr Bomb Bay’ Dimitrie, is not your average DJ and producer, is a precise definition. From his live electronic jazz band [url=https://www.discogs.com/artist/78883-Shazzam]Shazzam[/url], to the Gore Street Studios, he runs in Vancouver, and his own label [url=https://www.discogs.com/label/128709-PFB-Recordings]P.F.B. Recordings[/url]. Dimitrie is forever expanding his horizons, spreading his lush and sophisticated sounds, throughout the world. Best known for his slamming remixes and original productions, for labels like [url=https://www.discogs.com/label/167-Bombay-Records-2]Bombay Records[/url], [url=https://www.discogs.com/label/213-Toko-Records]Toko Records[/url], [url=https://www.discogs.com/label/202-Leaf]Leaf[/url] label, [url=https://www.discogs.com/label/3117-Disorient]Disorient[/url] label, [url=https://www.discogs.com/label/55-Transport-Recordings]Transport Recordings[/url], and [url=https://www.discogs.com/label/11026-Village-Sound]Village Sound[/url]. And bombing dance floors from Bangkok to New York, Pho Kangan to Tokyo. Ever in search of new inspiration, Dimitrie has played and recorded all over the world, playing sets so far as Thailand with gigs at Koh Phangan’s legendary Full Moon Parties, and producing live recordings with a wide-range of gifted artists, from Puerto Rico to Los Angeles. His signature sound behind the decks, can best be described as ‘Nu West Coast’. With a strong jazz background, an unabashed passion for soul & funk, and a deep connection to and appreciation, for the African percussive language. Sean Dimitrie is the walking and playing incarnation, of sound and culture. Ushering in a truly refreshing sonic approach to house music, as 1 of the northern hemisphere’s brightest, and most gifted musical forces. Not only did he have the honour of producing and recording a live Roy Ayers ensemble show, in August 2002, in Vancouver. Dimitrie has held notable residencies at the city’s top clubs (both as a solo DJ and with [url=https://www.discogs.com/artist/78883-Shazzam]Shazzam[/url]), including Fortune Fridays at Element, with [url=https://www.discogs.com/artist/161487-Louie-Vega]Louie Vega[/url], [url=https://www.discogs.com/artist/55-DJ-Rasoul]DJ Rasoul[/url], and vocalist [url=https://www.discogs.com/artist/670-Lisa-Shaw]Lisa Shaw[/url].
