Biography
Born in France, Stephan grew up fascinated by music and electronics as he watched his father DJ'ing in local clubs in the 1970's. He moved to New-York in 1985, where he witnessed the birth of house music and played early for clubs like Nell's and Tunnel. Opting for a college education, he kept his D.J. activities strictly as a hobbie. After finishing college with a Finance degree in 1992, Stephan tried his hand at several trades, including advertising, restaurant management and international trade. In 1997 he was spotted DJ'ing at one of the restaurants he was managing and was offered a residency at a newly opened New-York nightclub club Chaos. A few days later he quit his daily managerial duties and embarked into the crazy life of the DJ. In 1999, after frustratingly witnessing the increasing governmental pressures on New York city's nightlife Stephan decided to take part into Miami's burgeoning dance music scene. He quickly built his name there by taking on residencies at the Living Room , Club Space Crobar and Mansion. In 2005 he started organizing a weekly Sunday night event in Miami called Sundance (myspace.com/sundancemiami) for which he was nominated best resident dj by Club Systems international magazine. Sundance is currently running at new Miami hot spot "Set". As a recording artist, Stephan first made his mark in the industry by remixing the classics kristine W-Feel what you want and Robin S-show me love on champion records which quickly became Deep Dish and Danny Tenaglia's favorites back in 2000. In 2003 he produced under the moniker Spawn Blond a song called Waterfalls for the Scumfrog's label Effin records which hit the number one spot on the DMC London buzz chart and became one of the top tracks of WMC'03. More recently he remixed the classic Everything but the Girl-Missing which became the most sought after remix of 2007. Recently, his track Pressure was called "Ibiza track of the summer" by Sander Kleinenberg in an interview for Pacha Magazine. Ultra records has called upon Stephan's remixing talents once again for an upcoming single from label boss David Waxman. A new single "invisible man" is set to be released in November on Sultan's Harem records with a full remix pack set for a December release.
