DAF NEW YORK Summer of '87 by Steve Travolta

DAF NEW YORK Summer of '87

Steve Travolta is a New York City house 
music veteran with nearly 30 years experience 
spinning in some of the city’s most famous 
nightclubs such as Limelight, Roxy, Palladium, 
Tunnel, Club USA, Webster Hall, Pacha and 
Cielo to name a few.  His signature vocal, 
deep house and tribal influenced sound 
emerged predominantly during the early 2000s 
at his notorious Loft Preservation Society 
parties that he created with fashion designer, 
Cesar Galindo, which took place in their home
above the original Sound Factory on West 27th 
Street in Manhattan.

Steve has been profoundly influenced by music 
industry legends David Morales and the late 
Frankie Knuckles - the two collaborated often 
as Steve served as Knuckles’ opening DJ during 
his Better Days residency and Frankie was often 
paired up with Steve at his wildly popular Fresh
Fruit parties at New York City’s Meatpacking 
District hot spot, Cielo. 

His music knowledge is vast. Steve was 
 assistant director of Judy Weinstein’s record pool 
For The Record, the largest and most popular 
of it’s time. He is an accomplished re-editor 
working on projects for Kings Of Tomorrow, 
C&C Music Factory, Sounds of Blackness, 
Cyndi Lauper and Alicia Keys. Steve has also 
collaborated as a music editor with such heavy 
weights as Danny Krivit, François K’s Wave Music 
Label and the UK’s Black Market Records.

Travolta has taken his NYC signature sound on 
the road spinning in Canada, Italy, Singapore, 
Germany, Greece and various other cities across 
the United States. Hailing from the heyday of 
New York City nightlife he is no stranger to 
spinning six hour plus sets. He is currently a 
monthly resident at Christina Visca’s celebrated 
party Birdcage at Le Bain at The Standard 
High Line, a featured guest of Ladyfag’s hit night 
Battle Hymn at Mission and also a repeat guest at 
Benny Soto  and Danny Krivit’s 718 Sessions at Good Room.
