1. Please introduce Yourself to the TranceSound.net community and also tell us more about You as an artist and real Sebastian Brandt, the one behind the cover, the story behind the scene
Sebastian Brandt: My name is Sebastian Brandt and I am a producer, composer and a dj. I'm working with other producers/dj's/composers alot but also by my self under my own name. I live in a quite small city called Helsingborg in the south of Sweden. I have a girlfriend, Rebecca and I live for her, my friends and my music. Thats about it, really!
2. How many A.K.A.s are You using nowadays and how many projects You run, right at the moment, such as in, how many bands You`re a part of ?
Sebastian Brandt: I am currently in between some different projects. I have Selu Vibra with Ludvig Holm (also known as Algarve), Under Sun with Marcus Schössow (also known as Progresia), and offcourse my own name Sebastian Brandt! I am working on a new track with Safri Duo producer Michael Parsberg from Denmark. Some solo tracks are also in the making aswell as a new Selu Vibra production.
3. What`s the main part, such as, sound, effect, melodic line, bass and so on, You name it, that makes Sebastian Brandt unique ?
Sebastian Brandt: Well, many off my fellow producers often remind me of how good I am with basslines. Though I would never like to just choose one element, offcourse I like to stay open for all styles, to what comes in mind, and not stick to just one. Even if I really feel that I haven't proven it at all yet, my belief is that music should be alot about creativity.
4. How do You feel, that, day by day really good names and fresh new bands are rising, and with so many tunes out there, there is a similarity of 30-40% morelike... of all tracks out there ? Most of them.
Sebastian Brandt: Well I cant say that I am one of them, he he. I really feel that there is something revolutionary happening to all music at the moment really. Something new is comming.. but still, it feels like everyone is waiting for it to happen. I dont know why.. just feels that way!
5. Please tell me how Your studio look like hardware or software ?
Sebastian Brandt: I work with software only (Ableton Live), exept for my midikeyboard though I mostly use it for browsing sounds.
6. Any upcoming gigs that You would like to spread out the word about, that You`ll attend in the next 3 months ?
Sebastian Brandt: Im going with Marcus to Bratislava, Slovakia the 13th for a couple of gigs there. We are also playing in Oslo, Norway in febuary.. Some Selu Vibra and solo gigs are also beeing planned!
7. Have You even to a huge event ? and if that so... please explain the feeling, the atmosphere, their attitude and how the crowd reacts on Your style
Sebastian Brandt: Sorry to say but I havent done that yet
8. Please define Your style, and how long You attend to keep it this way without changing a thing in it cause most of the artists I know, they always tend to add something special in their style nowadays
Sebastian Brandt: Well, I cant really define what my style really is, or should be. Tricky question!

11. Is Your musical background "coming" from a relative, from someone in Your familly ? as in... Did anyone gave You the ideea and the spirit to start it over, or You just did it Yourself ?
Sebastian Brandt: My dad used to be a dj when he was 16 or something. He also played the bass in some garageband. I think I got some talents genetically but the whole music thing came from my self in the beginning.
12. What`s Your oppinian about clubs out there ? Which one do You think it covers Your criteria about "the best club wordwide" ?
Sebastian Brandt: I havent been out there alot to be honest, since I just turned 18 last summer! Most of the events I have been on has been Marcus gigs or events we played at together.
