Steve Optix is a, primarily, vinyl DJ, whose tastes span many genres. As a teenager, Steve was heavily influenced by the sounds he picked up emanating from the pirate radio station Kiss FM. Steve has had the chance to play all sorts of sets, beginning in 1993, playing hardcore, jungle & techno. In later years, his refusal to be tied to one genre, his sets would see him playing house, big beat, trip hop, d’n’b, and trance.
No stranger to the radio airwaves himself, Steve has had shows on Kane FM, Spectrum FM, and Red Light Radio in Amsterdam.
Steve is also known for putting on his own nights, such as Backroom Beatz, Funk Phenomena, and Liquid Funk.
Hanging up the headphones to concentrate on his young family, Steve carried on buying records, and in recent years has made a return to the decks, bringing his genre spanning, Balearic tastes to his own Parents Evening and Vinyl Lab events.
