their own biography
the whole biography
Seb Wildblood has spent the last few years forging a sonic identity centred on transportive experiences. Whether crafting tracks for the dancefloor or those better suited to headphones, a thread of subtlety and depth runs through his work, leading DJ Mag to describe him as “one of the most prolific figures in the UK’s underground scene,” with further support from FACT, Mixmag, RA, i-D, BBC and KCRW. His imprint, all my thoughts, has released artists such as Tom VR, Yetsuby, Ouri and 1-800 GIRLS, alongside his own collaborative projects with Laraaji, Theophilus London, sir Was and many more. He has also composed music for JW Anderson and Burberry, further extending a practice that blurs the lines between dancefloor functionality and emotive, atmospheric storytelling.Their RA profile lists all my thoughts and Omni Youth.often with x3butterfly, Hugh Zhang, J2, none of them here that night
“With 20 years of DJing at the world's top clubs and almost a hundred releases under different monikers to his credit, one might think that Francis Harris had reached the pinnacle of his career, or at least firmly established his niche; but 2012 marked a pivotal year for the Brooklyn-based producer in which his true potential as a composer, producer and label executive was revealed.”

the whole biography
With 20 years of DJing at the world's top clubs and almost a hundred releases under different monikers to his credit, one might think that Francis Harris had reached the pinnacle of his career, or at least firmly established his niche; but 2012 marked a pivotal year for the Brooklyn-based producer in which his true potential as a composer, producer and label executive was revealed. In seeking a more subtle and emotional sound, Harris departed from his tried and true methods as a solo studio engineer, forging creative collaborations that rekindled his long dormant interest in the craft of songwriting, live instrumentation and performance. The result were the two albums Leland (2012) and Minutes Of Sleep (2014) laced with piano, guitar, cello, trumpet and vocals by Danish singer Gry Baggien, delivered on Scissor and Thread, a new label Harris formed as a platform for this highly personal expression. With newfound purpose, Harris returned to the club music arena with an entirely new approach to making music. Focused on the development of new artists for the Scissor and Thread collective, Harris has been collaborating in the studio and behind the decks with label partner Anthony Collins as Frank & Tony. Together the pair have released an array of well received EPs and the albums You Go Girl (2014) and Ethos (2024) showcasing pitched down melodic house tunes. His third solo-studio album Trivial Occupations released in 2018 followed by his newest long player Thresholds in 2022.Their RA profile lists hfn, Scissor & Thread, hafendisko and Modelmaker.Recently at public records, H0L0 · often with Dasha Rush, Decoder, Claudio PRC, none of them here that night
