[edit] Musical Career

Seba's first professional release was Sonic Winds, a collaboration with Lotek on LTJ Bukem's Good Looking Records in 1995. The duo released Universal Music on Good Looking, after which Seba went on to produce a string of solo releases on various Bukem-owned labels.

[edit] Secret Operations

In 1997 Seba created a club night named Secret Operations in the basement club Tuben in central Stockholm. Two years later Operations released Case One, a CD compilation of works by Seba (under the pseudonym Forme) and other artists.

Seba lay dormant until 2002 when Seba began releasing records again, for the first time on the Secret Operations label as well as various others. While no longer under Bukem's eye, Seba music retained its deep atmospheric sound while sometimes adding a more aggressive sound not often heard in his earlier works. Operations first release was Pieces, a collaboration between Seba, Lenk and an uncredited Robert Manos as vocalist. Manos had previously recorded with the duo for Sunday Brunch, but this was the first of many times he would join Ahrenberg on a drum and bass project.

[edit] Sebadox era

In 2004 Seba joined forces with drumfunk all-star Paradox, and the two, sometimes along with Robert Manos, put out a large number of releases from 2004-2006, with 2005 seeing an especially large amount of albums produced. A compilation of their works was released on the CD Beats Me in 2006.

[edit] Svek

Ahrenberg has released a number of mostly house music works on the Swedish Svek label attributed to Seba and Forme. He has also joined with Jesper Dahlbäck (aka Lenk) for the collaborative house music effort known as Sunday Brunch.
