He’s DJed for a Stella McCartney birthday party, got drunk with Robbie Williams, and lived in New York. As half of Brothers In Rhythm, he produced for Kylie Minogue & the Pet Shop Boys, remixed U2, Michael Jackson and Dido. He was the defining first editor of Mixmag and a resident DJ at Shelley’s, the legendary acid house club that launched the career of Sasha. He was there at the beginning of the British dance music revolution and he’s still one of its leading proponents today, his contagious enthusiasm unabated despite this glittering career.
Nowadays, Dave Seaman is regarded as something of a veteran of the scene, a strange turn of affairs for someone with his cherubic features. He’s even recently started a family and is learning to incorporate his boundless enthusiasm for clubbing with the demands of raising children.
Old stager or not, Seaman still retains that impish enthusiasm that has always been reflected in his DJ sets. “I remember saying to my careers officer at school that I wanted to be a DJ and he very kindly suggested, ‘well, I think you should have something as a back up’”. He's still working on the back up.
