New Year Daze - Steve James

New Year Daze - Steve James

(A brief descriptions of my buddy in the states..)

Originally from Central Florida, 29 year old Steve James is an up and coming DJ who has gradually been gaining recognition in the global arena through his mixes and promos. His typical GEMINI characteristics are almost visible through his sounds: strong, upfront, and NOT to be missed. Having warmed his hands to the touch of a pair of SL1200’s for the last 9 years, his persistence and evolution of his characteristic sound finally won him a spot on Eccentricbeats.

Steve has been severely influenced by Digweed. “John’s music has the ability to propel you into a forward thinking” he retorts.

Steve’s roots to the underground EDM travel back to 1997. “I went to a party called Zen and it was the first time I witnessed the legends Sasha & Digweed. From that night on FL breaks were no longer cutting it. I was a full blown house addict, seeking out UK releases of Northern Exposure and listening to them countless times. Driving all over FL from 1997-2001, I frequented nearly every party that catered to the scene: WMC, UltraFest, Simons, Firestone, Shadow Lounge, Crobar, The Rubb, etc. Anywhere Digweed played, I tried to be there. Dragged by my obsession, I also crossed state lines and drove to Atlanta a few times to see him (Digweed) spin on several occasions. I’ve always been mesmerized how he’s been able to transform his sound from one night to the next with ease.”

Steve also spends a lot of his free time online finding out about new producers and records and has become a "die-hard" representative of the MercuryServer community with his show being aptly named "MercuryRising".

Eventually someone from [ms] recommended my sound to Ariel Cybana. She then got in touch with me and requested a set. After receiving my mix and airing it, she was so impressed that she and Phil offered me my own radio spot.”

As they say…. the rest is history….
