HIFI SEAN

There are so many incredible chapters to Hifi Sean (aka Sean Dickson) musical journeys but let’s

stick to the DJ one here.

You want more then delve into the World Wide Web.

Prince once sang a song he wrote ….

Sean released few years ago his first solo debut , the highly acclaimed album ‘Ft’, which he

describes as ‘electronic, psychedelic soul’. The album boasts collaborations with an extraordinarily

diverse range of artists including some of the most significant underground musical icons within

music history.

‘FT’’s stellar collection of artists includes:- Yoko Ono, avant garde musician, conceptual art icon

and one of the most controversial female artists of all time; Bootsy Collins widely

regarded as one of the finest Funk/RnB bass players in the world; Dave Ball co-founder of

‘Soft Cell’, the UK’s notorious synth pioneers with the uniquely sleazy electric soul,

Fred Schneider from the manic, bizarre and highly innovative US new-wave group

‘The B-52’s’ and Alan Vega, vocalist of the seminal proto-punk New York duo ‘Suicide’.

‘FT’ attracted significant critical praise and broke the top 20 album chart; singles

released from the album also proved immensely popular. The animated video for his Yoko Ono

Collaboration ‘In Love with Life’ received a share from YouTube themselves to their 66 million

subscribers. The single “Testify” feat. Crystal Water reached #2 in the Shazam chart, #3 in the

iTunes Dance chart and spent 3 months in the top 30 singles; it was further hyped at the start of

that year by The Blessed Madonna in her Radio 1 Essential Selection of acts to watch that year.

“Testify” also hit the #1 top slot on the Billboard Dance Chart in USA .

In addition to writing and producing his own solo album, Sean has been passionately

dedicated to his DJ sets (which include many self produced tracks and edits) holding down

residencies and also guest sets at XOYO ,Horse Meat Disco ,Glitterbox , Metropolis Disco In A

Strip Club to name but a few within his base in London.

He began playing house, disco and electro in the burgeoning and innovative Glasgow club scene

at The Glasgow Art School with his own respected club night ‘Record Players’ , before relocating to

London where he became a staple figure at some of the capital’s biggest underground house,

disco and techno clubs, as well as the scenes many ‘after-hours’ parties.

2024 sees no stopping to his urge to be deeply and passionately involved in the music he lives for.

What with current DJ sets for The Blessed Madonna’s BBC 6 Music show to his vinyl only remix of

‘Fire Island & Loleatta Holloways – Shout to the Top’ which went str8 in to #1 in the Juno chart and

stayed there for over 4 weeks before selling out and dropping str8 back out. This 12” now being a

collectors item and passing for good money between vinyl collectors.

To Sean in his head this is only ever the start , and always is every time he makes a record or

plays a set.

He always sticks by this lifelong motto.

“The next record I hear may be the best record I have ever heard.”
