Biography
As any cool kid of the 90′s, Strip Steve grew up with Offspring, the passion more or less regular of skateboard, and the art of turntablism. Few scratches and a failure in a rap band after, he remembered how much Armand van Helden, Cassius & Daft Punk’s videos he used to watch before “Yo MTV rap” started, torn his sentimental life, and more his whole existence.He started mixing at 14 with his first turntables, and slowly made parties with his friends in his hometown (Bordeaux) that mixed every kind of music they found exciting, with always one purpose: that the people had fun very simply. 2007, Steve is now 20 and listen for most to House & Techno. Inspired by the masters Dj Sneak & Paul Johnson, as much as by listening to the Crydamoure compilations, his goal is to bring back House where it should never left: the dancefloor.And he knows how to do: his dj sets make crashing Chicago House classics (Robert Armani, Dj Pierre, Marshall Jefferson, Armando…), nowadays Techno Anthems (Boys Noize, the french record labels Institubes & Ed Banger…), early 90′s Rave Ufos (this kid has fascination for for Prodigy & Bizarre Inc.) or the best 12″ electronic music has ever made (Masters at Work, Romanthony, Daft Punk, LFO, Joey Beltram…). 2008, At the beginning of the year Strip Steve released his first EP on Boysnoize Records.
