GRADE-E (USA)

Seann "Grade-E" is a product of the of the legendary Orlando, Fl Rave scene of the early 1990s. Orlando was ground zero for an explosion of DJ and musical talent that defined an era. Seann was lucky enough to witness talented djs like Kimball Collins, D-Xtreme, Dj Stylus, Chris Fortier, Jimmy Van M all Orlando natives, in the original clubs (Aahz, The Abyss, The Edge, Firestone) that spawned a generation and launched their careers. He saw Sasha and Digweed do their first stateside appearance at the now infamous Aahz Nightclub ini 1991.

Hearing all those legends in the heyday of house night after night inspired Seann like so many others to explore his own music interests. In 1994 he pulled together enough money to by two turntables and a mixer. Later the next year he moved to Albuquerque, NM where got the opportunity to DJ at several local clubs and a few desert raves. In 1996 he moved to Washington DC where he connected with local progressive house legend Ty T of "Stellar" which gave him the opportunity to DJ at virtually every club throughout DC and Northern VA metro area, including a residency at "Traxx" nightclub which was DCs longest standing nightly until it closed in 2004. Durning this time Seann was able to DJ along side some of his all time favorite DJs including Dave Seaman, Jimmy Van M, Bill Hamel, Steve Lawler, and Noel Sanger.

In 2000 Seann looked to expand the Stellar brand by founding a record label, aptly named "Stellar Records." In that role Seann built a small boutique record label focused on progressive house and breaks demonstrating his passion for all things progressive. Stellar records lasted 4 years and 15 releases where he signed artists such as Thomas Penton, Noel Sanger, Oko Tek, Manhattan, Remosh, Descent and his own moniker "Undivided Space" which was a partnership with Thomas Penton. Together that released two tracks one of which, "Recovery" was signed to D:Fuse's Mix compilation "For The People."
