Simbad Segui

Dance

Born and raised in Paris, where his reggae-dub roots were fed with hip hop through years of graffiti raids, and with techno and house after listening to Laurent Garnier, at 17 Simbad Segui chose the city of Cordoba to call it home. Since 1996 he started djing at clubs and cultural events. Tightly linked to the development of the local electronic music scene, in 1998 he co-organized a series of interdisciplinary events called Mundo-Mix, one of them taking place at the Contemporary Art Center of Cordoba. Many clubs from Buenos Aires gradually began to demand Simbad on the turntables. After his debut in the world famous Clubland nights at Pacha, his visits to the capital city of Argentina suddenly multiplied. Apart from playing at every local Creamfields edition, he"s also played big events such as Brahma Beats, 1Live! and SonarSound Buenos Aires 2006 featuring Isolee and Warp"s Plaid, among other artists. His talent often jumps abroad: he played many gigs in Mexico, Uruguay, Brazil and France. Through the Dialogo Beat collective formed by visual artists, writers and musicians, Simbad has programmed and played different events with such guests as fellow Canadian artist Mike Shannon. To his regular commitments around Cordoba, and the whole country, he adds two monthly residencies at Peek-a-boo and Lokitas, where he"s played with the likes of Phil Stumpf, Someone Else and Serafin. His best selections can also be enjoyed in Buenos Aires: monthly at the Soup night at Bahrein club, with dj friends Carlos Alfonsin and Cristobal Paz
