San Serac grew up in Baltimore, playing with postpunk bands Candy Machine and INK when he was real small. Around the turn of the century, his lifelong fascination with Midnight Star and Shalamar dovetailed with a DJ friend's mixes of classic house and disco, and San Serac began to see the light: dance music without style boundaries.

San Serac's Professional album, released on his own Frog Man Jake label in 2007, got love from the underground and led to extensive tours with Junior Boys, Wilderness and Shout Out Out Out Out; he's brought his explosively kinetic live show to every kind of party (Horse Meat Disco, Wierd, Lovelife, PS1 Warm Up) and shared the stage with all kinds of bands (Adult., Chromeo, Digitalism, Chromatics). Most recently he started Stereo Image with former Junior Boy Johnny Dark (one of The Wire's top albums of 2008) and recorded an album with French house producer Para One called Slice & Soda (out this fall on Institubes). San Serac is currently finishing a new release for Morgan Geist's legendary Environ label.
