▐███▄▄ ░██▌▄▀
██▌▄▀█ ░██▌▄▀
██▌▄▀█ For the past six years, Steve Gerrard has come from ░██▌▄▀
██▌▄▀█ being a relative unknown to one of the most ░██▌▄▀
██▌▄▀█ inspiring up and coming DJs, playing endless gigs in ░██▌▄▀
██▌▄▀█ far reaching corners of the globe, whilst attempting ░██▌▄▀
██▌▄▀█ to find time to concentrate his production projects ░██▌▄▀
██▌▄▀█ with studio partner Russell Pearce. An avid lover of ░██▌▄▀
██▌▄▀█ most kinds of music, this diversity shines through ░██▌▄▀
██▌▄▀█ and through via his sets, earning him plaudits from ░██▌▄▀
██▌▄▀█ not only his peers, but music fans and club goers in ░██▌▄▀
██▌▄▀█ general. Having won numerous awards early in his ░██▌▄▀
██▌▄▀█ career, two of which came from the now defunct Muzik ░██▌▄▀
██▌▄▀█ Magazine's Bedroom Bedlam, Steve's following has ░██▌▄▀
██▌▄▀█ grown, and it was only a matter of time before his ░██▌▄▀
██▌▄▀█ potential was realised and he was given a platform ░██▌▄▀
██▌▄▀█ on which to show to the world exactly what he can ░██▌▄▀
██▌▄▀█ do. That time is now. The platform is this new ░██▌▄▀
██▌▄▀█ compilation, 'Thinking Out Loud'. ░██▌▄▀
██▌▄▀█ ░██▌▄▀
██▌▄▀█ A subtle and thought provoking introduction to CD1 ░██▌▄▀
██▌▄▀█ questions whether music still has soul, conscience ░██▌▄▀
██▌▄▀█ and balls. It's almost as if the introduction is ░██▌▄▀
██▌▄▀█ Steve Gerrard providing the questions for which he ░██▌▄▀
██▌▄▀█ will attempt to find the answers for, and it's not ░██▌▄▀
██▌▄▀█ long before the latter of the three is revealed as ░██▌▄▀
██▌▄▀█ we are submerged into the breaks disc of 'Thinking ░██▌▄▀
██▌▄▀█ Out Loud'. The dreamy opening melodies of Subsky's ░██▌▄▀
██▌▄▀█ 'Singlegun' soon subside to reveal grungy ░██▌▄▀
██▌▄▀█ breakbeats, carrying forward into the atmospheric ░██▌▄▀
██▌▄▀█ Madoka rerub of Powerplant's 'Turn It Into Gold' ░██▌▄▀
██▌▄▀█ that follows. We're barely off the starting blocks ░██▌▄▀
██▌▄▀█ and Steve Gerrard is always throwing a curve ball ░██▌▄▀
██▌▄▀█ our way, something he does many times throughout ░██▌▄▀
██▌▄▀█ this disc, as it constantly evolves, taking in many ░██▌▄▀
██▌▄▀█ forms and types of breakbeat sounds. ░██▌▄▀
██▌▄▀█ ░██▌▄▀
██▌▄▀█ With dirty nu skool tracks and remixes from the ░██▌▄▀
██▌▄▀█ likes of EK, Christian J and even Steve's own ░██▌▄▀
██▌▄▀█ Wrecked Angle project sitting alongside big room ░██▌▄▀
██▌▄▀█ remixes from Chris Lake and Madoka, it's an example ░██▌▄▀
██▌▄▀█ of a diversity that has seen Steve able to play club ░██▌▄▀
██▌▄▀█ nights that sit at different ends of the musical ░██▌▄▀
██▌▄▀█ spectrum. With a series of vocal tracks from Shiloh ░██▌▄▀
██▌▄▀█ (Dream On) and Ice Cream Social Vs Andy Moor ░██▌▄▀
██▌▄▀█ (Control Me) in addition to driving instrumentals ░██▌▄▀
██▌▄▀█ from Burufunk and Wrecked Angle with the blinding ░██▌▄▀
██▌▄▀█ peak time epic 'Back To Babylon', Steve proves he is ░██▌▄▀
██▌▄▀█ more than capable of rocking any crowd, from the ░██▌▄▀
██▌▄▀█ more casual club goers to the purist followers and ░██▌▄▀
██▌▄▀█ trainspotters, and this first disc sets up the mood ░██▌▄▀
██▌▄▀█ nicely for the second that follows. ░██▌▄▀
██▌▄▀█ ░██▌▄▀
██▌▄▀█ And that it does in grand fashion. as the ░██▌▄▀
██▌▄▀█ progressive disc is a smooth mix of some of the best ░██▌▄▀
██▌▄▀█ tracks from around the world that Steve happened to ░██▌▄▀
██▌▄▀█ stumble across, with a very cosmopolitan range of ░██▌▄▀
██▌▄▀█ talent featured in the disc. From the emotive and ░██▌▄▀
██▌▄▀█ cultural sounds of V Sag & Andrew K's 'Fossil' that ░██▌▄▀
██▌▄▀█ opens the mix, Steve carefully layers each track ░██▌▄▀
██▌▄▀█ that follows on top of each other, as the pumping ░██▌▄▀
██▌▄▀█ beats and melodies of Pinkbox Special's epic ░██▌▄▀
██▌▄▀█ 'Simple' trickle into the tough rolling grooves and ░██▌▄▀
██▌▄▀█ synths of Benz & MD's 'Dead Calm'. Keeping the ░██▌▄▀
██▌▄▀█ groove flowing. Subsky's take on the Shmuel Flash ░██▌▄▀
██▌▄▀█ track 'The Other Side Of Me' builds nicely into the ░██▌▄▀
██▌▄▀█ dubbed out ambience of 'God's Answer', the ░██▌▄▀
██▌▄▀█ incredible track from Matthew Dekay & The ░██▌▄▀
██▌▄▀█ Proluctors. ░██▌▄▀
██▌▄▀█ ░██▌▄▀
██▌▄▀█ With the foundations laid, Steve gets a bit more ░██▌▄▀
██▌▄▀█ daring as tracks from Mark Martini & Chris Micali, ░██▌▄▀
██▌▄▀█ Fitalic and Mike Hiratzka all contribute to the ░██▌▄▀
██▌▄▀█ upbeat and twisted vibe that is forged and ░██▌▄▀
██▌▄▀█ manipulated by the man behind the decks. Climaxing ░██▌▄▀
██▌▄▀█ with a two massive tracks, the first being Dousk's ░██▌▄▀
██▌▄▀█ 'Tengaloop', and the second a collaboration between ░██▌▄▀
██▌▄▀█ Dousk and Jose Zamora entitled 'Phantoms' under the ░██▌▄▀
██▌▄▀█ guise of JDK, Steve releases the built up energy of ░██▌▄▀
██▌▄▀█ the disc in a huge way, and like it's counterpart ░██▌▄▀
██▌▄▀█ disc, ends on a high that will leave you grinning ░██▌▄▀
██▌▄▀█ from ear to ear as these two brilliant dance floor ░██▌▄▀
██▌▄▀█ tracks provide the exclamation point to a solid and ░██▌▄▀
██▌▄▀█ satisfying journey through the world of progressive ░██▌▄▀
██▌▄▀█ house. ░██▌▄▀
██▌▄▀█ ░██▌▄▀
██▌▄▀█ A hard working DJ who has quietly been mapping out a ░██▌▄▀
██▌▄▀█ path through the saturated scene and slowly amassing ░██▌▄▀
██▌▄▀█ an impressive following, 'Thinking Out Loud' shows ░██▌▄▀
██▌▄▀█ that the silence has ended and that as one of ░██▌▄▀
██▌▄▀█ several DJs on the verge of breaking into the upper ░██▌▄▀
██▌▄▀█ echelons long inhabited by the usual suspects, Steve ░██▌▄▀
██▌▄▀█ Gerrard is more than capable of holding his own, ░██▌▄▀
██▌▄▀█ rocking a crowd in his own unique fashion. He may ░██▌▄▀
██▌▄▀█ have left the bedroom long ago, but this album shows ░██▌▄▀
██▌▄▀█ he can still cause bedlam with the best of them. ░██▌▄▀
