Steve’s big break came as the resident DJ at Godskitchen, were he played regularly at Godskitchen’s weekly at Air Birmingham, as well as touring the world with the formidable brand.

Further recognition came about as a result of this acknowledgment, as Steve was offered another super club residency playing at Passion’s Redroom plus Passion’s sister club, Baby Passion DJing alongside the likes of Roger Sanchez, Danny Rampling, David Morales and Erick Morillo.
With a developing profile Steve decided to step into the forum of promoting his own events back in in his home town.
