Steve Edwards has been pioneering the sounds of tech and electro house music throughout the Phoenix valley for some time now. His musical tastes vary between tech house, electro house, progressive, and minimalist sounds, while his sets take an eclectic journey through all of the darker shades of house music. His style is both technical and experimental, and what he plays for a crowd always proves to be unique and infectious.
Music has always been the forefront of Steve Edwards' life. Steve spent countless hours as a kid listening to dusty LPs of Michael Jackson and the Monkees. He made the change from being a listening bystander to an active participant in music when his dad gave him a bass guitar for his ninth birthday. For the next several years, Steve played in a few jazz, funk and punk bands and started building his appreciation for obscure music. His early musical influences include a variety of artists, from jazz bassist Victor Wooten to punk rockers the Descendants, and everything in between. The styles that were most prevalent were jazz, new wave, punk rock, and industrial music. You can see much of this imprinted in what Steve Edwards plays and produces today.
Steve's first experiance with electronic music came about in Houston in 1991, when he visited a friend who owned DJ equipment. Amazed by the grinding techno styles of the early 90s, he wanted to try for himself. He began with a mish-mash of music including everything from dancehall to drum and bass to hardcore. Shortly thereafter, he moved to Colorado and his musical tastes were refined to progressive house music. He quickly earned a residency at The Underground in Colorado Springs which afforded him the opportunity to start exploring the abstruse sounds of tech house. Steve then moved to Phoenix and brought his musical tastes with him. Many of these sounds were new to the valleys EDM community, and they welcomed this new dance music with open arms.
Steve Edwards currently plays at many clubs and electronic music events in the Phoenix valley, spreading his love for his unique style of house music to the masses. When he's not playing for a crowd full of house heads, he's in the studio recording mixes for his podcast or searching for new tracks for his next mix. His work has been featured on Frisky Radio, Proton Radio, and Freakin Radio, drawing scores of listeners worldwide. Steve's recent residencies include Next nightclub in Scottsdale, Progression Thursdays in Scottsdale and Rehab Tuesdays in Phoenix. His talents have also landed him a spot with Los Angeles's Biohazard Productions where he plans to release his own tracks via their label, Biohazard Digital.
