│█│ Always support artists!! Remember it!! │█│
│█│·─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────·│█│
│█│ │█│
│█│ Steve Lawler is a definitive DJ and producer; a tastemaker whose │█│
│█│ sets combine quality house music with the power to move dance │█│
│█│ floors around the world. In the last few years, he's wowed crowds │█│
│█│ in such far flung places as Zouk in Singapore, Groovejet in │█│
│█│ Miami, Twilo in New York and the mighty Space in Ibiza. Courtesy │█│
│█│ of home, he provided the most groundbreaking sets of the season │█│
│█│ for many of those lucky enough to hear him. After two months he │█│
│█│ had been crowned 'King Of Space' by the locals - a rare and well │█│
│█│ deserved honour. │█│
│█│ │█│
│█│ You can find Steve behind the decks every Friday at Deep South @ │█│
│█│ home, where his 5 hour sets of twisted house are bringing a new │█│
│█│ lease of life to one of London's biggest clubs. As well as guest │█│
│█│ spots at every pioneering club in the UK from Renaissance to │█│
│█│ Bedrock. │█│
│█│ │█│
│█│ If one person had to be singled out for Deep South's success it │█│
│█│ would be none other than top-class resident Steve Lawler. Whose │█│
│█│ mammoth five-hour sets of chunky house and intoxicating tribal │█│
│█│ progressive sounds have dragged him into the realms of the │█│
│█│ superstar DJ, and the club into one of the clubbing success │█│
│█│ stories of the year. But modest as ever, Steve puts it down to a │█│
│█│ combination of factors: │█│
│█│ │█│
│█│ "I wouldn't accept that it's all down to me," understates Lawler. │█│
│█│ "There are a lot of people involved in making that night good. I │█│
│█│ just do what I do." │█│
│█│ │█│
│█│ Steve Lawler hails from the Midlands, yet there is something │█│
│█│ distinctly non-territorial in his work. Although loving the │█│
│█│ atmosphere in the big Saturday nightclubs (he's an ex-resident at │█│
│█│ Cream), Lawler also refuses to pander to any punter wherever he's │█│
│█│ spinning, especially at home. Think DJ communism, with equal │█│
│█│ treatment for all the masses. │█│
│█│ │█│
│█│ " It's rewarding for me to know that so many people are going off │█│
│█│ to underground music every Friday night across the country. Clubs │█│
│█│ like home and Renaissance have the best soundsystems and crowds │█│
│█│ in the UK, and the feeling you get from playing those nights is │█│
│█│ amazing". │█│
│█│ │█│
│█│ Tuning into electronic music from an early age, Steve used to buy │█│
│█│ Depeche Mode records when he was young, so he obviously loved │█│
│█│ electronic sounds without even realising it. But it was acid │█│
│█│ house that really turned Steve on. Tuning avidly in to local │█│
│█│ pirate PCRL radio station gave Steve a taste for house music, and │█│
│█│ it wasn't long before his mates were luring him off to warehouse │█│
│█│ parties. │█│
│█│ │█│
│█│ "I was totally blown away by the whole experience: the dark room, │█│
│█│ the strobes and the atmosphere. The whole thing just blew me away │█│
│█│ and inspired me to do my own parties." │█│
│█│ │█│
│█│ Which is exactly what he did, putting on a series of illegal │█│
│█│ parties in a disused tunnel under the M42 between 1990-1994. "The │█│
│█│ last one was just amazing. We had Tony de Vit playing, and it had │█│
│█│ just grown from this small party to this huge thing - basically a │█│
│█│ rave. It was all about town the day before, people running around │█│
│█│ Birmingham going 'The tunnel's on, the tunnel's on.'" │█│
│█│ │█│
│█│ But it was in Ibiza that Lawler got his first true break. Having │█│
│█│ earned his Ibiza stripes - he's been every year since 1990 │█│
│█│ through to 1997 it was finally Steve's chance to prove himself as │█│
│█│ an accomplished DJ. He was a resident at CafΘ Mambo, spinning his │█│
│█│ legendary 8 hour sets there every day, as well as playing three │█│
│█│ times a week at Pacha. It was then he was spotted by Darren │█│
│█│ Hughes, then of Cream, who recognised his talent and ambition to │█│
│█│ succeed. Signing him up to Cream's DJing agency, he began a │█│
│█│ residency at the eponymous Liverpool institution. At only his │█│
│█│ second date at the club he had to follow Paul Oakenfold at their │█│
│█│ NYE party. Not an easy feat, but one which Lawler coped with │█│
│█│ admirably. The rest, as they say, is historyà │█│
│█│ │█│
│█│ It's not all about DJing though. Lawler's accomplished │█│
│█│ production, under the monikers of Novocane, Chameleon and, │█│
│█│ naturally, Steve Lawler, are currently causing mayhem amongst the │█│
│█│ likes of Tenaglia, Tong, Sasha, Digweed, Deep Dish, and Pete │█│
│█│ Heller. 'Rise In', his latest single, is a self-assured cut of │█│
│█│ heavy dancefloor pressure, which, as with all the best things, │█│
│█│ has simplicity as its key. Watch it drop on any dancefloor in the │█│
│█│ world and you realise that Lawler, in his production as much as │█│
│█│ his DJing, understands how to work a crowd. 'Rise In' is set for │█│
│█│ a September release, and if you've been near any of the coolest │█│
│█│ dance floors on the planet, you'll have realised just how special │█│
│█│ the track is. The buzz around the tune has superceded any of this │█│
│█│ summer's releases, and the Top 20 beckons. Who'd have thought │█│
│█│ proper house music would once again reach such heights? But then, │█│
│█│ as most of you know, Lawler is something very special. │█│
│█│ │█│
│█│ "First and foremost I am a DJ," explains Steve. "I am not making │█│
│█│ records for a career or the money, it's just that I want to make │█│
│█│ my own version of sounds that would go down well in a club. When │█│
│█│ I make music I sit there and close my eyes and imagine being on a │█│
│█│ dancefloor, with the lights and the soundsytem. It's hard to get │█│
│█│ right all the time, but I'm going to keep banging away at it │█│
│█│ until I do". │█│
│█│ │█│
│█│ Which is pretty much Steve Lawler for you. A hardworking Midlands │█│
│█│ lad who has never taken the easy path to success. From his │█│
│█│ mammoth sets at Space in Ibiza, or his tendency to re-edit half │█│
│█│ the tracks in his box, Steve certainly knows the meaning of │█│
│█│ graft: │█│
│█│ │█│
│█│ "I do a lot of my own re-edits, because I get sent so many │█│
│█│ records where its all good and then some horrible break kicks in. │█│
│█│ So I just cut that bit out, get it on to CD and then go and get a │█│
│█│ slate cut. It's the way forward. It means that a lot of records │█│
│█│ that people might have, I have my own versions of them. It makes │█│
│█│ it unique, which you have to do these days. There's 1001 DJs out │█│
│█│ there. It's probably one of the reasons why I have actually got │█│
│█│ somewhereà I do make the effort." │█│
│█│ │█│
│█│ Steve's spun at every club in Ibiza, and every decent club in the │█│
│█│ world, and has stunned all detractors of the progressive sound. │█│
│█│ He was described in The Face as, "The UK's Tenaglia", and in │█│
│█│ Jockey Slut as "one of the best dj's in the world". │█│
│█│ │█│
│█│ Steve Lawler: the pioneer of twisted house who loves a bit of │█│
│█│ hard work. If you were waiting for a change of musical tack, then │█│
│█│ follow Lawler's lead. Don't be left behindà │█│

█│" │█│
█│ In the beginning, there was Jack. And Jack had a groove. │█│
█│ And from this groove came the groove of all grooves. │█│
█│ And while one day viciously throwing down on his box, Jack boldly │█│
█│ declared,Let there be House! And House music was born. │█│
█│ I am, you see. I am the creator. And this is my House. │█│
█│ And in my House there is only House music. │█│
█│ But I am not so selfish, because once you've entered my House, │█│
█│ it then becomes our House, and our House music. And you see, │█│
█│ no one man owns House, because house music is a universal language │█│
█│ spoke and understood by all. You see, House is a feeling, that no one │█│
█│ can understand really, unless you're deep into the vibe of House. │█│
█│ House is an uncontrollable desire to Jack your body. And as I told │█│
█│ ya before, this is our house, and our House music. And in every house │█│
█│ you understand,there is a keeper. And in this house the keeper is │█│
█│ Jack. Now some of you might wonder, │█│
█│ who is Jack and what is it that Jack does? │█│
█│ Jack is the one who gives you the power to Jack your body. │█│
█│ Jack is the one who gives you the power to do the snake. │█│
█│ Jack is the one who gives you the key to the wiggly world. │█│
█│ Jack is the one who learns you how to walk your body. │█│
█│ Jack is the one that can bring nations and nations of all Jackers │█│
█│ together under one house. │█│
█│ You may be black, you may be white, you may be Jew, or Gentile. │█│
█│ It don't make a difference in our house. And this is fresh!!! │█│
