This alchemy, fusing the blips’n’blops of minimal with the soulfulness of old House styles, has never looked more effortless than when this man wears it. Melding in and out through slices of music made the entire 3 hours a harmonious glide.

The Berliner, although his fresh face may argue with the fact, has been around since the older testaments of electronic music. Delivering early gems like “Rancho Relax”, to more recent times with “Diva” and the swingy head-bopping “Sax Track”, Sebo K is miraculously immune from sounding stale. Those fortunate enough to be at Revolver on Sunday night were witness to the production that this man so seamlessly lays out.

The not-so overly filled main room of Revolver seemed to immediately shrink when grooving bodies began to mingle with the German’s first tunes. When the glossy key sounds, faintly popping bongo rhythms, and vocal cuts from the yesteryear of soul were combined with a deep haunting bass and splashes of minimal- he had pulled it off (somehow). It became a mystery how Sebo K’s arguably busy and complex sound was so remarkably subtle and extremely easy to dance to.

Even so, the transitioning from track to track (and genre to genre) was unnoticeably fluid. Leaping from disco funk tracks like Ray Connif’s “I Want Your Love” back to deeper house sounds was made to be inconspicuous and painless. He did what he recently presented on his Watergate 04 Mix- transitioning with as much grace as a figure skater on ice.

This smoothness that was coming out of Revolver’s full sounding speaker system was in amazing contrast to their acid-washed décor- a beautifully misplaced setting that mutated to life. From behind his caged enclosure, a 10 metre high lattice fence, Sebo K looked nonchalant and at peace, no DJ show-ponying, let alone any real jigging. Something else must be said though for those spectating from outside-in, who had the vigour of the constant kick drum rush to their feet. It was made an impossible task to then retire to the couches spread around the room.

It took more than 90 minutes for Sebo K to throw away modesty and show some DJ bravado. Throwing a single arm in the air, dropping the classic track, “Rose Rouge” by St Germaine, the crowd let out a collective ‘woo!’ on cue. ‘Put your hands together one time’ as the song so soulfully instructs, was obeyed, as the remaining crowd made up for those who weren’t fortunate enough to have a four-day weekend.

After the frictionless 3 hour skate through his CD wallet ended on early Monday morning, he was validated with cheers and whistles from the crowd. The expression of gratitude was responded by Sebo with a few mild claps above the head- his demeanour as pleasant and harmonious as the perfect set he just played.
