Groove aficionado, Sean P. has been a face on the London music scene since the ’80s, taking the counters of some of the city’s leading record shops. Sean is famous for his encyclopedic knowledge of soul, funk, disco, boogie, rare groove, jazz-funk and jazz. Bill Brewster, co-author of the book ‘Last Night A DJ Saved My Life’, described Sean as someone he would call if ‘I ever had a question’. The Idjut Boys call him ‘The Knowledge’ and many others think of him as ‘The Black Music Oracle’.

Sean has contributed rare source material and sleeve notes for various re-issue projects. Most famously compiling the ‘Disco Spectrum’ series for BBE with Dave Lee (Joey Negro), which is an education worth looking out for. Also the seminal ‘Disco (Not Disco)’ compilations which featured punk disco from the likes of The Clash, Yoko Ono and Ian Dury, had Sean’s hand and are regarded by many as genre-defining. They are also thought to have provided a vital spark from which the recent Electro-clash movement was set ablaze.

Sean has also assisted with articles for Record Collector magazine and is highly respected for his re-edits of rare disco gems (like ‘Hungry’ by Sandy’s Gang, issued in 2004 on Tirk), which has been greatly appreciated by an ever-growing number of DJs who are discovering (or re-discovering) the hidden treasures of ’70s and early ’80s.

Sean has also recently moved into the specialist field of audio restoration, utilising the Cedar Audio system to ‘clean up’ source material for a list of prestigious clients.

Sean is a highly under rated DJ and despite often lurking in the backroom and not shouting about his achievements, put him up-front in the booth and you will hear his rich heritage in black music sing.
