Bio

Originally hailing from Bellshill,Lanarkshire Stevie has been rocking the decks ever since the day he raided his dadï¿?s record collection and started messing around with the controls on his old Alba hi fi! At the age of 18, after saving up money from his part time job as a Checkout Assistant in Safeway he bought himself a set of decks- all be it they were Soundlab beltdrives. A few months on, some extra shifts pushing trolleys and a student loan later he had a set of the hallowed Technics 1210s.

It soon became clear which career path he was going to choose as he spent more time in 23rd Precinct Records & HMV than he did at Uni. Nevertheless he completed his degree in Economics and Post Grad in Ecommerce whilst pursuing his real dream. The first record he bought was Kayashi Furyo on Additive records in 1997.

DJ

He began playing in local bars and clubs doing the gigs that no one else wanted to do playing 70s and 80s music at birthday parties which fulfilled his need to simply get out and play music which in the long run proved invaluable. After sending off countless mixtapes he got his first break playing at the under 18s at the Viper club in Bellshill and within weeks he was spinning the tunes at the overs too. He soon began to gather momentum when he was approached to play on the Xposure Magazine British club tour which led on to playing in front of 5000 people at the Kritivibes festival in Crete, Greece with Dutch dance company Euro Music Events. Soon afterwards he began a residency at the legendary Fubar in Stirling which he played for 8 years. He has also held residencies in City Falkirk, City Edinburgh,Karbon Glasgow,Common Glasgow, Centrepoint Coatbridge, Megabar/Hype Motherwell, Hamilton Palace, Essence Coatbridge, Rosies Falkirk, The Social Glasgow, Level 2 Coatbridge. He has guested throughout the length and breadth of the country playing at T in the Park,the Arches for both Colours and Inside Out,Hed Kandi ,Cream and not forgetting the legendary M8 Christmas parties at the Tunnel. Throughout his time he has shared the decks with Fedde Le Grand, Grant Nelson, Danny Rampling, Greame Park, Eddie Halliwell, Tiesto,K Klass, Judge Jules,Bart B More, Bodyrox,Funkagenda, Mark Knight to name but a few and Calvin Harris has even warmed up for him!

Stevieï¿?s music style reflects his eclectic influences ï¿? from his soulful house roots all the way through to the chunkier clubbier beats that heï¿?s known for. Heï¿?ll play whatever it takes to get the crowd going be it the cooler unpretentious house music he loves, the cutting edge main room house he fires out with ease or the tougher tribal techy tip he likes to take us on when the time is right. Wherever he plays you can always guarantee plenty of energy and passion behind the decks , a distinctive musical style that whips the crowd into a frenzy, loads of crowd interaction and no doubt the odd chant of ï¿?Stevie F****n Lennon!ï¿?

Djing has always been his first love but as his events continue to grow in success and popularity he finds himself juggling his career as a dj with that of a promoter too but still enjoying it none the less.
