Sephi Hakubi

Christian Lalinde, better known as Sephi Hakubi, is a progressive DJ, multi-media producer, anime enthusiast, and video gamer from Coral Springs, Florida with a big focus in the Anime Fandom and Electronic Dance Music. He is the founder and leader of Hau5 of Hakubi, a faction of fandom artists producing and performing music through various media such as video, radio, and live events. Sephi is also an official resident of underground music groups Just Don’t Stop Productions (JDS) and Hard Dance Texas (HD:TX) and is currently signed with music labels Caffeine Music and Project: Shiromayu.

Sephi utilized his experiences in many of his interactions to become what he's described today as a "multi-media culture masher”, establishing the correlation between anime and electronic music. Sephi strives to make the electronic dance community relevant for fans by formulating his mixing style called AnimEDM, a style of unique sounds and sights primarily influenced from Progressive House, Trance, Eurodance, HandsUp, Hard Dance, and Hardcore music, often with Japanese influences.

The mission for Sephi’s AnimEDM style works to create a place of friendship, musical freedom and anime fandom. Sephi's AnimEDM style gained significant attention in the anime and rave scene as he performed for the masses at FAN:dom Con, San Japan, SukoshiCon, Realms Con and IKKiCON, as well as festivals such as Equinox, Unite As One, Tonyc Summer Jam and Texas Silent Disco.

Sephi was also honored to open for internationally recognized DJs like Darude, Donald Glaude, Made Monster and Ferry Corsten, and opened direct support for major artists like Bobby Duque and Gabriel Guardian (FYER), Kenneth Thomas, and JJ Flores; as a result, gaining much valued wisdom from world-renowned industry performers. Currently, Sephi is focusing on music production to further incorporate in his AnimEDM concept; however, you can revisit Sephi's proof of concept from his past sets and all 100 episodes of his formerly syndicated radio show, Weekly Rave Smash, on https://www.mixcloud.com/sephihakubi.
