Nordic Soul is the moniker of Decibel frontman Sean Horton. He is quite literally a pillar of the northwest’s electronic music community and the curator of Decibel Festival, the most important event for electronic music in our little corner of the world.
Nordic Soul’s tastes definitely reflect his Detroit roots, but also a wider love for electronic music as a whole. Check his releases on K Records, Buttermilk Records, Peloton and Basic_Sounds, as well as his soundcloud at http://soundcloud.com/nordic_soul/tracks.
We couldn’t be more excited to be working with Decibel on the upcoming event, “Bender” at Neumos on Dec. 30-31 and we’ll be front and center to check his afterhours set at Re-bar immediately following.
