Jean-Sebastien Douglas Fontaine, known professionally as Seb Fontaine, was born on July 14, 1970, in Hammersmith, London, United Kingdom. He began his DJ career in the late 1980s, securing his first gig at Crazy Larry’s on Kings Road, London. This was soon followed by a residency at the Fridge in Brixton in 1989. In his early professional years, Fontaine explored various genres, initially focusing on rare groove, and later incorporating hip-hop and ragga into his sets. His foundational residencies included The Wag, Subteranea, and Glitterati, with his time at Malibu Stacey alongside Craig Richards being particularly notable for developing his distinct style of deeper, harder tracks.
Fontaine’s career significantly advanced in the late 1990s when he became a resident DJ at Cream, one of the UK’s largest nightclubs, initially on a bi-weekly basis. This residency quickly evolved into a weekly commitment and extended to Cream’s Ibiza events at Amnesia. In 2000, Fontaine joined BBC Radio 1 as a specialist dance DJ, hosting a weekly show and broadcasting from Radio 1’s Ibiza segments until 2004. During this period, he also released several mixed compilations, including the ‘Prototype’ series for Global Underground. He developed the ‘Type’ brand, which encompassed both club nights and album releases. Through his extensive club performances and radio presence, Seb Fontaine solidified his position as a prominent figure in the international electronic music scene.
His work as a remix producer included collaborations on tracks for artists such as the Outhere Brothers. After leaving BBC Radio 1, he formed Reflekt with Julian Peake. Throughout his career, Fontaine has released numerous albums and mixed compilations, including “Cream Ibiza Departures” (1999) with Roger Sanchez, and multiple volumes of “Global Underground Prototype” between 1999 and 2001. More recently, in 2024, he collaborated with K-Klass and Bobbi Depasois on the single “Together.” Fontaine also co-founded Evermix, a platform for recording DJ sets, and has served as Music Director for the Wellington Club St James, demonstrating his continued influence and involvement in the music industry.
