Biography

Equally at ease crafting club tracks than building ethereal soundscapes and producing for other artists, Sébastien Forrester has always had a recurring obsession with traditional and idiosyncratic sounds - his very first encounter with music as a child was indeed the Bwiti ritual drums, while living in Gabon with his family in the early 2000s. Formerly known as Holy Strays (acclaimed by the likes of Pitchfork, the Fader, Fact Magazine, Dazed, Les Inrocks, etc), the Paris-based franco-british percussionist and sound artist started releasing music early on, at the age of 19, and has put out records on international labels such as Not Not Fun, Hands in the Dark and SUPERPANG. Over the last decade, he has also remixed Rejjie Snow, SUUNS and Forest Swords, and shared stages with acts as diverse as SBTRKT, The Soft Moon and Zola Jesus, all across Europe. His latest pieces of work explore his relationship to trance and percussive instruments, as well as the special timbre of the bagpipe, an instrument that makes the link between his British roots and the Occitan part of his family in Aveyron, France. Recent collaborations include Brodinski, Lafawndah, Slikback, Coby Sey, as well as Toulouse-based experimental dancer and choreographer Pierre Rigal, among others.
