of Electronic and Hip-Hop/Rap
A.k.a. Pál Séfel Pál Séfer

Cadik is a very special phenomenon of the hungarian underground party scene, started back in the nineties. He and Dj Palotai are the founders of Rewind, which is Hungary’s oldest party-series, meeting point, legend and institution. They are popularizing the most recent sounds of breakbeat, drumandbass, electro, jungle, electronica and dubstep all over the country. Cadik was less known as a producer, till the day he released the ‘Closed’ album, which he made with Ferenc Pap and Balázs Pejkó under the name of Membran - a nice eclectic downtempo crew. At the same time they won the Best Original Score price at the Hungarian Movie Awards for the soundtrack of Árpád Bogdán’s movie: ‘Boldog Új Élet’ (Happy New Life). Meeting warm receptions and loads of good critics he released his solo album, called Basic. “It is a personal collection paying respect to hip-hop, giving back what I got from this culture.” You can realize how good he is in what he’s doing, if you just take a look on the album’s performing MC’s: M.E.D (aka Medaphoar) from west-coast Stones Throw rec., Blu from Salt Lake City, Elzhi from Slum Village, Phat Kat, Invincible & Finale, One Be Lo from around Detroit, Dizko Stu, Sena, Judie Jay and Zeek from Hungary. He has a good relationship and common musical interest with all these people. He also performed with artists, like Black Milk, Dynamite Mc, Stacey Epps, Dudley Perkins or Ben Sharpa, and still they have a good work- and realtionship. After a lot of performances outside the country, he started a monthly party-series on A38 ship - the floating concert-hall of Budapest - called “Real Your Nature” to show the newest electronica by inviting foreign representatives of new musical movements, like Mary Anne Hobbs, Benji B, The Gaslamp Killer, Nosaj Thing, Foreign Beggars, Dorian Concept, Ikonika, Slugabed, Virus Syndicate, Breakage, Instra Mental, Cinnaman, Debruit, The Clounious,Rustie,Loops Haunt etc. For ten years now he is the selector of two shows ‘Totoya Klub’ (Club Totoya) and ‘Dzsungel Könyve’ (Jungle’s book) on the anti-mainstream radio station, called Tilos Rádió. He performs his own sets - usually electronic hip-hop, abstract hip-hop and dubstep - with the best hungarian VJ collective, called Kiégő Izzók.
