Seiji

Seiji, whose real name is Paul Dolby, is a cellist and a member of West London's broken beat production collective Bugz in the Attic. He was one of the early innovators of the genre known as "broken beat" or "nu jazz".

During the early 1990s, while in his mid-teens, Dolby discovered house music and became acquainted with the music of Herbie Hancock, Stevie Wonder, Photek, and 4hero. He began producing his own tracks a few years later. Shortly afterward he started collaborating with Orin Walters (Afronaught) and helped instigate Bugz in the Attic, a production/remix collective working in the then-new genre broken beat. As Seiji, Dolby has remixed Basement Jaxx, Quantic, Micatone, P'taah, Joakim Lone Octet, and Mark de Clive-Lowe. In 2002, Bitasweet compiled some of those remixes for Remixes. Since the late 1990s, Seiji has also released his own productions for Reinforced and 2000 Black, in addition to lending his cello skills to other artists' records.
