Seiji started in music as a classically trained cellist, but in the early 1990s he discovered Hardcore, Jungle and later US House music and began producing a few years later. His first releases came out through the seminal Jungle/Drum & Bass label, Reinforced, culminating in an album with his production partner at the time, G-Force. The G-Force & Seiji album, Just Another Number, was released in 2000.
At the same time Seiji started collaborating with Orin Walters (Afronaught) and together they formed Bugz in the Attic, which grew into a collective of 8 individuals based in West London. Bugz set up a studio and label, carving out a strong reputation, both individually and collectively, as cutting edge remixers and underground recording artists. They also jointly ran the legendary Sunday club night/institution, Co-Op. Bugz were particularly well known for their remixes which included 4hero, Macy Gray, Amy Winehouse, among many others and this led to them signing to V2 in 2004. With V2 they released a remixes album, a studio album, Back In The Doghouse, and the singles Booty La La and Move Aside.
It was during Seiji's time with Bugz, and on their Bitasweet label, that he released his biggest solo record so far, Loose Lips. He has also individually remixed Alicia Keys, Basement Jaxx, Erykah Badu, Crookers and many others. Seiji left Bugz in 2007, since then he has worked with Roisin Murphy producing and co-writing much of her album, Overpowered, including the single of the same name. Recent solo releases include a fully electronic and instrumental album called DJ Tools, a single called Todo Mundo, and a series of tracks called seijigoodies available free and exclusively through his website, www.seiji.co.uk.
