As a small boy Steve was introduced to the wonders and delights of the Athen’s club culture and underworld in which his father moved. Deeply enthused by all of this and, as it emerged, incredibly talented, Steve quickly honed his turntablism skills, fusing hip-hop, breakbeats and 70’s classics until he won himself his first club residency in Stockholm. Under-age (16) and out way past his bedtime, Steve was earning a not-so-honest crust to support his family alone. Whatever, he was seriously rocking that club week in week out!

Steve’s first ventures into the studio were with best buddy Sebastian, at Seb’s father’s place but it was a further three years before the mighty “Freshly Squeezed” and “Echo Vibes” were created and released on Joia Records, Drawing heavily on influences such as Daft Punk’s “Homework LP”, Steve was finding new favour with the house music fraternity. Indeed “Echo Vibes”, something of a hit at the time, was remixed by Eric Prydz, with whom Steve has remained close ever since. Today Steve, Sebastian , Eric and Axwell are known collectively as the Swedish House Mafia â?? a name to watch out for!
