Steve Birch

Steve started djing a year after raving at ‘Fantazia and ’Dreamscape’ around 92/93 and soon after he started writing own compositions

Amongst his influences are The Prodigy, Future Sound Of London, Orbital, Hallucinogen and Astral Projection. This must be where Steve’s goa and psychedelic characteristics come from.

Steve first met James Zabiela and John Doe in Movement Records, Southampton in the mid 90s, this led to a residency on MAX FM with James and John. Soon after he started regular gigs at events such as ‘Pulse’, ‘The Hat’, ‘Devotion’, ‘Mentazm’-Trance Planet, not forgetting a few illegal raves in the New Forest.

In the year 2000 Steve attended Salisbury College to study music. In 2002 he was awarded a business loan from the Princes Trust to help support my various writing projects.

In 2004 all the hard work paid off in the end when Steve was signed to Joof records, John Fleming has been a great support. Joof has released his debut ‘SPACED OUT’ which has had some really positive feedback. Full support has come from Armin, Ferry, M.I.K.E (Push), Marco V, Lange and Dave Pearce who aired it on Radio One several times and played it in his Homelands2004 set Out of Underworlds Born Slippy. Since then he has completed various remixing projects and written loads more trance, including a couple of vocal tracks. More releases on JOOF scheduled for 2005/6.

Steve has also had his Summer Summer sessions project signed to SolarStones-DeepBlue Records.
