Steve Longwill has spent a lifetime with music. Born to principled parents there was no television in the household and music was the foremost form of entertainment. A large collection of vinyl and an old piano were in constant use. Early influences included Howling Wolf, Bob Dylan, The Beatles, Canned Heat and Queen.

After discovering dance music in the early nineties, and a brief love affair with drum and bass, he settled into house and techno. A major influence at the time was working at the nightclub Fabric, london's leader of the underground scene.
Here he found music that fitted his very definite taste in musical expression. The power of a funky groove in tandem with deep hair raising soundscapes. Tracks that appeal to your dancing feet and your heart, music for the dancefloor and the mind, the club and the armchair. His carefully crafted sets take the listener on a rollercoaster ride through 4 4 music, though not necessarily chained to the genre of house.

Steve has played at many places on London's underground dance music scene, the now closed but legendary The End, Fabric, Cafe 1001 and The Russian, to name a few.

He is a firm believer in protecting djing and its integrity against various technological advances that seek to undermine the art of beat matching. Although many people will book artists only on their production skills he believes a firm rooting in djing is essential.
