Severin Prothmann, who today spins under the name Le 7è ciel, was a resident at the "Club Aera" (Zurich) as well as at the "Different Bar" (Bern) from 1991 on. His bookings led him from there over a multitude of locations in Lausanne, Neuchâtel, Lucerne, Basel, Bern and Zurich to Berlin. Since 1993 he produces electronic music under the label Zoul Guru Rec. and together with his wife Maria he is organizer and promoter of citytunes in Zurich since 2012.
He initially found his love for music through a classical education on clarinet, bass clarinet as well as saxophone and continued as a DJ from the age of 13. Initially, mainly funk, disco and jazz landed on Sevi's turntables before he was among the first in Switzerland to adopt hip hop. His commitment to this culture culminated in the opening of the legendary "Beat Bunker", Switzerland's first permanent rap club in Zurich North. His path as a DJ then led from rap to acid jazz to electronic music.
