Steven Caicedo's interest began when he bought his first
pair of turntables after completing boot camp in the summer
of 1997. Like many DJs, he taught himself how to spin
records by watching and emulating the DJs he admired.
Eventually, he developed a sound of his own, which he
classifies as "deep house with a moody progressive edge".
Steven grew up with his older brother, sister and Columbian
born parents in Queens, New York. By age 16, he found
himself sneaking out of his parentÆs house eager to check
out local DJs at Manhattan's infamous Tunnel nightclub,
namely Danny Teneglia. Little did he know that only five
years later, he would fortuitously find himself inside the
DJ booth of that very same club, playing his records and
perhaps even influencing an upcoming generation of DJs.
It was late night excursions such as these, where Steven
discovered a source of freedom, excitement and inspiration,
ultimately awakening his own dreams of conducting music
behind a set of turntables. While DJing began as a part time
hobby for Steven, it developed into a habit that stretched
outside the walls of his apartment. "It became an extension
of the hobby...it was something I did so I could invite my
friends to hear me play in a place other than my room on a
proper sound system." In addition, he wanted to put his
record collection to use, which now easily exceeds ten
thousand.
After years of bedroom performances and house party practice
sessions, Steven soon found himself playing live for the
first time at New York City's Bowery Ballroom in May of
1999, attracting the attention of both club promoters and
managers alike. Tom Kim, of Nettwerk Management, describes
the first time he heard Steven play, "I knew Steven had
talent the first time I saw him spin back in 1999. He has an
ability to read the crowd, teasing them with minimal tracks
and then dropping the anthems at the precise moments to make
people lose their heads. The consistency of his track
selection and his smooth mixing always impresses meàhe is a
humble and modest person always smiling."
In 2000, Steven was invited to Rotterdam, Holland at the
Symphonic Night in Club Cozmik, his first international gig.
The Symphonic concept is a truly unique idea where only one
DJ performs at least an eight-hour set û "one DJ one night."
Steven eagerly pursued the challenge and was not worried
since he has had considerable opening experience for acts
like Basement Jaxx, Fatboy Slim, Lenny Kravitz, and Moby.
This was his chance to show an international audience who he
really is and what he is about. Cass, Nigel Dawson, Chris
Fortier, Danny Howells, Anthony Pappa and Remy all have
played previously. That night caught the ears of other
promoters in Holland which prompted other gigs at Now and
Wow (Rotterdam) and Club Stalker (Haarlem) the following
month and a NYE's party at Cozmik. Most recently, Steven
returned to Stalker and appeared at The Kremlin in Amsterdam
with San and James Holden in January 2002.
His live sets epitomize what Steven does best; creating and
sculpting a particular atmosphere through his intricate
mixes, rather than simply spinning one record after another,
as many DJs have taken to doing. His mixing style is smooth,
refined and focused, while never losing its momentum. The
audience will not see Steven showboating while heÆs manning
the decks, instead he will focus on the mixer, twisting
knobs for the right audible levels. In order to maintain a
natural flow during his sets, Steven tends to build on
musical themes û often incorporating a third turntable to
bring parts of previously played tracks back into the mix.
Steven chooses a "less is more" approach, layering subtle
harmonies, and putting as much consideration into matching
keys as he does into beat matching. "Programming is what
sets DJs apart from each other, I do not want to sound like
the other progressive DJ by playing the same tracks," says
Steven.
Without a doubt, Steven is gaining recognition as he plays
at super-clubs that invite DJs such as Danny Howells,
Anthony Pappa, and John Digweed. In New York, Steven
co-hosts his monthly Plant Bar nights with guests Chris
Fortier and Jas from Saw Recordings. Outside the New York
area, Steven has played an extensive set of cities,
including Boston, Boulder, Miami, San Francisco, Sacramento,
Washington D.C., and even inside a cave at San Juan, Puerto
RicoÆs Organico party in November of 1999.
Taking advantage of the Internet radio medium, Steven hosts
a weekly radio show on www.ProtonRadio.com every Friday with
special guest mixes. Broadcast manager Sam Packer was eager
to have Steven become a weekly host since the goal of Proton
is to broadcast and promote fresh faces with unique sounds.
"When I first heard Steven's mixes, I immediately wanted
more and for others to hear them," says Sam. In addition Sam
praises Steven since "his mixes vary from deep house to
pounding progressive, all of which have that unmistakable
Steven Caicedo feel and sound." Since his weekly show began,
Steven has attracted a dedicated audience which has been
steadily increasing, partly because he is featuring guest
mixes from DJ San (Combined Forces, The Kremlin), Jas (Saw
Recordings) and Lemon 8 (Bedrock) to name a few, along with
his own live and pre-recorded mixes. Listeners from France,
Peru, Holland, and throughout the US have been writing to
Proton praising Steven for his track selection, smooth
mixing, and ever-growing number of sets. Phil Jason (Jas)
jokingly said, "when anyone talks about Steven's mixes, one
has to ask which one because there are so many out thereàall
different."
Steven owes much of his own motivation and inspiration to
his father, whom, sadly, on Steven's 20th birthday, passed
away. His untimely death caused Steven to reexamine his own
life, to understand how important it is to live life to
fullest by following his own dreams and passions. He soon
began to channel all of his emotional confusion into his
spinning and felt driven to perfect his craft. "My father
was the one person that embraced my love of music ever since
I was a baby," says Steven. He would always put music on for
me in my crib and by the time I was 2, I was putting on the
music for him...and I guess, in some way, I still play music
for him, even though he's not physically here."
Steven is no stranger to the business side of music either.
He is currently working with Undercover Music Group (UCMG)
and Intergroove Distribution as marketing director. One of
his goals is to raise awareness for their artists like Terry
Lee Brown Jr., Kasey Taylor, and Timewriter as well as the
numerous labels distributed by Intergroove. Before this, he
worked for Astralwerks in Retail Marketing setting up new
accounts, finding new markets and brainstorming ways for
more exposure. Despite his considerable talent and resume,
Steven is just 23 years old; his talent, drive and
experience, in many ways, surpass his age. He is determined
to release originally produced materials and a mixed album.
Because of label downsizing of staff and projects, "Dutch
Sessions" was cancelled. Despite this disappointment, Steven
is not deterred to seek new labels and continue mixing. "It
actually was good that Dutch Sessions did not come out,
since the label was not prepared to promote the mix
properly, it would have just sat on the shelf. I want a
label committed to me and vice versa," says Steven.
Ultimately, Steven hopes to take electronic dance music to a
new level. For now though, he is content with his progress,
"IÆm starting to realize how valuable time is, and how it
really isnÆt worth the comfort of having normalcy. As IÆm
living right now I'm starting to realize that the saying is
true, 'you only get out what you put in.'" Steven is putting
all he has to achieve his goals, and he is patient to let
his talent and audience grow.
