Producer and musician Tom Nicol aka SEØUEL started out as a guitarist and singer with Edinburgh indie act Degrassi. However, in his current musical incarnation he connects with Scotland’s illustrious electronic music heritage with a nod pioneers such as PURE and Glasgow’s SOMA Records. He was recently nominated for a Scottish Alternative Music Award and is due to embark on a coast to coast DJ tour of the US in December.Offering a much edgier, intense alternative to the current crop of wussy, synth pop arrivistes, SEØUEL has already released two EPs [entitled Prague and Reykjavik] from a trilogy. Each takes his name from a city which has made a lasting impression on Nicol in his other job as a tour manager for acts including The 1975 and Primal Scream.Conrad The Barbarian is an exclusive taster from the final release in the series, Budapest, which is due out next month.
