Music Is The Answer - "The Steven's"

Hey Folks,

Well, after devoting our last couple of “Music Is The Answer” posts to special reports, we return to form for this one & it’s a “Steven” filled edition, as we cover one of Spain’s finest & then a home grown D.J., club promoter & film maker who is barely out of his teens, but has achieved so much already.

So, without further ado, let’s crack on and we first focus on super Spanish talent Steven Redant, who started his career in D.J.’ing at the famous “Privilege” club in Ibiza, where his talents were immediately recognised, following which he secured residencies across Europe, as well as guesting at many events across the globe. Based in Barcelona, he plays regularly at the city’s fab club “Discotheque”, but also jets across to Brussels for “La Demence”. His visit to London, back in November, where he played at Matinee’s “The Next Chapter” party was a huge success and other recent appearances at Barcelona’s newest club “Penelope” & at the latest “Scream” event in Paris have gone down exceptionally well. And as a measure of this man’s diversity, he flies out to Israel this weekend to play at “Forum”, on top of being ever busy recording his weekly Radio show “Get It On!”. All this on top of his regular podcasts, most of which are recorded from his live sets, not to mention his smash single “Discotheque” which has been given the superb remix treatment by Italian stallion Pagano & is racing up the “djdownload” chart. Steven’s superb combination of electronic & tech infused house is neatly displayed in his latest podcast “Scream Paris” which you can check out now at http://stevenredant.podomatic.com & why not check on the progress and grab his single while you’re at it which is out at http://djdownload.com/genreTop100.php?genreID=5.

Our other “Steven” on this post is the ultra talented Mr. Geller, who burst onto the London scene just over two years ago and immediately established himself as a fresh faced & popular D.J. his rise in the game being meteoric, securing residencies, first at Escape in Soho & then for both Barcode’s., which was quickly followed by a residency at the weekly outing “Popcorn” at Heaven. It was during at set at Barcode Vauxhall that he was noticed by the Orange group team & this led to a working relationship & residencies at Later, Open, Gravity & Rudeboys, with the occasional appearance at A.M. Elsewhere, Steven has played at Ministry of Sound, Egg, Scala, Ku-Klub, the Box & Profile, as well as devoting time to his filming, having recorded superb video’s for smash Spanish club SuperMartXe & more. Not content with just that, Steven has also entered the fray as a club promoter, his first project, “Futureproof” grabbing many headlines , but it was at his now beloved venue, Area, that his latest & most successful venture “Onyx”, has not only rejuvenated Friday clubbing, but continues to go from strength to strength, securing his reputation as a smooth operator. However, D.J’ing is still at the heart of his activity and his style of uplifting house with tribal undertones, all intermixed with accessible vocals packs out Area’s main room every week and his latest mix “Warming The Ice” is pure Steven Gellar magic. Catch this superb compilation along with some other gems, including a live recording from “Onyx” at http://djstevengeller.podomatic.com.

Now just a quick mention goes to Per Q.X. who has just released a remix of a brand new Deadmau5 vs Mellefresh single, entitled “Sexslave”, which we think is well worth a listen. Check it out at http://soundcloud.com/nastyhabits/deadmau5-vs-mellefresh-sex-slave-per-qx-mix.

Also, don't forget to visit http://seenqueen.com/music where you can get the widest choice of all your favourite D.J's works, as well as Brent Nicholls' full & exclusive interview with our featured D.J. Steven Geller.

Well, that’s our choices up for this time, but next week we devote our post to another D.J. that had a meteoric rise in the game & is now firmly based in Berlin, the cute & lovely Eduardo de La Torre, also looking at the work of Megawoof’s resident jock Tim Mclone. And, watch out for our end of year music round-up, when we look back on some brilliant D.J. mixes of 2009 & cast our vote for the best compilation & single of the year.

In the meantime, as we now love to say, let the music play, have a great Christmas & catch our next post on Boxing Day.
