Career[]

While working with a hip-hop band in 2005, Sebastian was given the phone number for Ed Banger Records by one of the band's members, who had found it in a newspaper. After a cold call to label owner Pedro Winter, Sebastian was signed, and they released the EPs H.A.L. and Smoking Kills later that year.[1] 

In 2005, Sebastian also remixed "Human After All" which Daft Punk has claimed is their all-time favorite remix of their work.[2]

In 2007, Sebastian composed the soundtrack for label-mate Mr. Oizo's feature film "Steak" alongside Sebastien Tellier and Mr. Oizo himself. Sebastian also acted in the film alongside Kavinsky and Sebastien Tellier.

 Also that year, Sebastian joined Kavinsky to open with DJ sets for Daft Punk on their Alive 2007 tour.
