DJ Focus: Techno Steve
Round about 2005 i bought my 1st set of decks and started mixing hard house/trance at house partys normally with my mate MARTIN BRADLEY. I then went on to set up my own club night (All mixed up) at a venue in southampton Finally 2 yrs later i got my first gig away from All mixed up,for another southampton based event called debauchery-by this time not only had my music taste changed but i was also part of a duo known as INFINITE LOOPS! alongside Justin Edwards.(Justin E) The DEBAUCHERY gig went well and although i was by now into techno i was booked as a solo to play a warm up set of hardhouse-and HARD it certainly was! Myself and Justin quickly became main residant djs for DEBAUCHERY headlining most of there events………….banging out HARD/ACID TECHNOOOOOO! We went on to play many other small events over the next couple of yrs mainly around southampton-headlining most of them-with the odd trip to portsmouth. Then in 2010 got our biggest gig to date playing for the now legendary OVERLOAD @ THE FORT for MATT HANDY. That was the highlight but also the end of INFINITE LOOPS! as Justin wanted to move into production and play out less and i just wanted bigger and better gigs! Having played twice @ the FORT i was convinced this was a turning point however this was not the case and it all went abit dead,partly due to an hectic personal life and partly due to myself not promoting myself properly,anyhow after abit of a downer and a lot of moping about i finally decided to pull my socks up and relaunch myself as a solo artist and so was born TECHNO STEVE! After throwing a few demos about i got my comeback gig at a little place in pompey called the barn for an event called TECHNO THERAPY,playing b2b with my old mate MARTIN BRADLEY in the main room with DDR on after us! I returned to the barn for various other events playing alongside the likes of CHRIS LIBERATOR,DDR & DAVE THE DRUMMER and am now the proud new residant for FECTIC MAYHEM @ THE BARN. InBetween all of this i have played for countless internet radio stations inc NARCOTIC RADIO,NTP and most recently DANCETRANSMISSION.COM often joined by housemaster JAMES PIEATERSON. however i have now quit radio to concentrate on my live gigs. Headlining for FECTIC MAYHEM 20TH APRIL 2012 and many more since feeds the hunger for more gigs! Up next in May 2012 was my debut London gig playing alongside Birinight,Acid Steve and Aaron liberator for the mighty smash Techno @ the 414 in Brixton Then a 2 page article written by myself and about my life as a dj and what it means to me was published in an online New forest arts magazine called Park Culture. Its now 2013 and although I still Dj myself I also run a dance tent for an New forest based charity music festival raising funds mainly for local youth causes and regular small dance night style events raising funds for various good causes. 31st 2013 saw the release of my first Tune!- A collab with producer/Dj and label owner Nesbit.
