Hey beautiful souls, Welcome to my workspace. From now on you can find my studio on soundbetter.com if you're in need for audio services. My masters have resonated on renowned dance floors such as Berghain, Tresor and many more, where they have been supported by artists like Rene Wise. I offer the first master for free - because showcasing past work is one thing, but demonstrating how your unique tracks can benefit from my skills, tools, and studio is another. You can reach out to me via my email [email protected] or via Soundbetter/Instagram. The safest is my mail as I'll check that at least twice a day. Happy to help you out with my service which include mixing, mastering, tutoring and or general consulting/feedback If you're searching for a proper weekly tutoring program with set goals and tutoring plan you can join the 'PickYourself' program where I'm one of the tutors. All the best, DSH Picture by @dd.loe

Hello everyone 👋🏼 Today my new single 'Encompass' dropped! You can find it on SoundCloud, Spotify, Bandcamp and on all other streaming platforms! I'm very happy with the vibe of the track as well as the feedback by DJs I've received who already had the chance to play it! Thanks you for listening 🎧 🫶🏼 Head over to my biography where you can comfortably tune into the streaming service of your choice! Artwork by @stela_alusi Mastered by @copilcomusic

Hey there! I'm back with a new single being dropped this Friday the 28th of June called 'Encompass'. 🌪️ I've produced this track over half a year ago and recently found it on my SoundCloud, so I decided to release this track as a free download/pay what you like model. If you do decide to support me you can do so directly via Bandcamp. Or just get the track for free, makes me happy too!😉 Thanks for all the nice messages I received about 'Encompass'. You might even have heard it being played in the Berlin nightclub scene by some artists who I sent the early self mastered version to. As it is quite a deep one it might not have been in our beloved peak time techno slot! This is also why you can download this track for free and you'll be able to listen to it over the streaming service of your choice. Some high energetic tunes will also come this summer 🌞 so stay tuned! Thanks to @copilcomusic for his expertise in the mastering process as I stray away from releasing my self mastered tracks - I prefer a different set of ears for the final master! Additionally, some pictures of me goofing around over the weekend. Love, S

This week I've released a new set for @kollektiv_synergie . Thank you to @dxrvo.syn for the invite! For this one I've aimed to curate a set of deeper vibes, starting out with spoken word and experimental sounddesign and beats before moving to the first deep techno sounds. I felt like taking the chance to create a set that differs a bit from my usual sound pallet. Definitely craving the options an opening set can offer for now. Overall I'm stoked to have been invited to participate in the Syncast project. Thanks for all the kind words I've received for this set. If you haven't had the chance to check it out, you can find the link to the set in my linktree in my biography Best, S

This is modulate studio! Some photos from my lovely workplace. Big thank you to @dd.loe for shooting these. If you are interested in mixing and mastering services, 1 on 1 or class tutoring or workshops reach out to me here or onto my email which you can find on my profile. We can also have a chat to find out what suits you the best! Much love S

Late birthday post 😴 Here is my obligatory thank you post for each and every person I met on my journey over the past years in Berlin. 🌹 Without your constant support, help and mindfulness I'm sure I could have never been pushed as far as you guys managed to! Eternally grateful to be able to share my time with you and I hope we can all achieve the things we set our minds to! I'd love to give every beautiful soul a personal shout-out but this would be too much at this point. I nonetheless want to give a special shout out to @frei.geist for infecting me with his unparalleled expertise in vinyl techno records, @sankes_universe for the amazing stage design and lighting work he does for our beloved @mod.ulate project, @notfunnydotcom for being the most amazing DoP we could have wished for on the modulate project, as well as @dd.loe for his exceptional eye finding beauty in even the most remote places (huge inspiration) and to @german_g_martinez for being the youngest member, but equally loved, joining this Modulate family. Everyone I missed here, feel very very tightly hugged, loved, and I hope that we'll see each other soon 🫶🏽! Big up to @bootleg_crisis for capturing this beautiful party with beautiful souls 🥳

Just released a new EP! 'Paroxysmal EP' is out now on most major streaming platforms! Check it out via the link in my biography :) Much love, S // In this work Sebastian seeks to reveal a hidden energy, utilizing percussions and ambient sounds derived of electromagnetic field interferences. The rhythmic rumblings blend with spacious synthesizers, punctuated by the vocals of Mo Van Zandt, evoke a dreamlike allure that simultaneously captivates and unnerves. \\ Vocals by Mo van Zandt @mo.van.zandt Mastering by Philip Roeder @copilcomusic Artwork by David Loeffler @dd.loe Visuals by @jasonpicciano 01 - The Needle (feat.

When modulate streamed its first iteration I would have laughed if someone would have told me we'd be growing up to create streams like the one last week. Now we've become a big family of like-minded creatives capable of doing so, where each member's work is vital for archiving the quality we strive for. To me, this development is astonishing and I am eternally grateful for each and every artist and supporter that followed us on our path, both in this last stream and on all the ones before. Without the continuous support of you we wouldn't be where we are. Big up to @adroitofficial for curating such an amazing line up featuring @jacom_music @juri.heidemann @anymello @corium.wav . Every artists performance was spot on for the location we've hosted in, keeping ourselves busy re-listening to their performances - at least doing so for me :) Big up to the modulate team who made this possible and to Adroit for curating this event: Modulate 48 lineup curated by: Adroit @adroitofficial Director of Photography: Maya Zaretski @notfunnydotcom Lighting: Alexandro Espinoza Garcia @sankes_universe Camera: Maya Zaretski @notfunnydotcom Calen Dawkins @calen.doscopio Léa Raymondi @lea.raymondi Kaito Sashihara Martinez @kaito.sashihara Design of Modulate / Photography and Editing: David Löffler @dd.loe Special Thanks: German Martinez @german_g_martinez Holly Quinn ho.knots Continuous Return @continuous.return_gc Zig Wolf @zig.wolf Aaron Benjes @frei.geist Ewan Waddal @ewan.runescape Jason Picciano @jasonpicciano Morgan Edgerton @morganedge___ Lorenzo Jacobsen @npoint_o Diego Soto @diego.soto.11 Location: MaHalla Berlin @mahallaberlin

This Friday I'll perform a live set in @qs1berlin alongside good company @patrik.dayz_ @jackstripmusic @sankes_universe @fridacarlo_gc @philippmarxsen will be exhibiting paintings of his accompanied by an ambient and experimental set by @sankes_universe and @fridacarlo_gc so make sure to come early at 7pm and stay late :) The live performances are part of our bachelor projects and they will start at 9:30pm with at least half an hour of sound each. My performance features electromagnetic field recordings, deep rythms and ambiances and I hope I can play it for as many familiar faces as possible :) The entry to the event is free! Thanks to the @qs1berlin for being so supportive and let this event happen in the Langhansstraße 131 location. Artwork by @dd.loe Yours truly, Sebastian

Today my track "Inertia" dropped on all streaming platforms as well as on my Bandcamp. I'm extremely grateful with the support I received for this one - especially seeing DJs and Artist I admire and respect download this one for their own performances. From what I've heard it already has been played on clubs which makes me super happy. Of course every listener who pays attention to what I do is also deeply appreciated. Creating something and hearing people vibe with it is a super fulfilling feeling. Thanks for each and every one of you! You can find the links related to this release via the link in my biography, so head over and spread some love 💖 From this one we'll only move forward together. . . I've also paired two summer vibe pictures of my vacation with @criticalp where we've been douching around in Istanbul Turkey where I had an absolute blast. From the beautiful city with extremely kind people to being introduced to their techno clubs where techno performances left me at awe it was just way better than I could have ever had imagined. ✨ .

+++ All spots taken - whoever took contact with me in this time period feel free to contact me +++ Hey music producers! as you might have seen earlier in my stories I'm currently sitting in a mastering studio which is owned and run by @copilcomusic . I'm incredibly greatful to be approached by him to join his studio as an audio engineer, but I still need to get used to the transparent and clean sound of his studio as i've been through many studios before with different characteristics in each of them. While he is not in Berlin he was so kind to give me the keys to his Kingdome so I can do exactly that - work on my stuff and master music of others to understand this new auditory environment he gave me the opportunity to work in. This is where I want to Include you, my supporters and followers over the years, as I'll be happy to master your tracks for free for the time being. Obviously I can't sustain this forever so you gotta be quick to reach out to me and take advantage of this special situation :) Of course I won't match the quality @coplicomusic can archieve in his studio for his clients quite yet as he has 10+ years of experience, but I mean it still is a win win Situation for everyone. I already have experience in mixing and mastering (otherwise he wouldn't have approached me) so this studio can only amplify this whilst being completely free of charge for you with revisions! Currently the plan is to continue this until the beginning of August, so reach out to me either here on Instagram or on my mail adress [email protected] . I'd be happy to hear from you! . If you don't need a master quite yet but you still want to support me on my way feel free to share this post - it would be much appreciated! :) - DSH
