At the age of eighteen Steven started producing Happy Hardcore which led to him DJ’ing all around the Midlands. Then he heard Mary Anne Hobbs on her BBC Radio1 show. The sound she was supporting totally changed his whole outlook on music and made him realize that you don’t have to stick to certain formulas to make good music. This is when he started producing his own interpretation of Dubstep, IDM, Ambient and Sci-fi Glitch under the guise of Barbarix.
After a lot of focus and hard work developing his sound Steven finally felt it was time to send some of his production work out for feedback. Barbarix debuted with a ten minute long excursion entitled ‘Incisions’, which was cleverly put into three sections; Parts 1, 2 & 3’.Mary Anne Hobbs played one of the tracks on her BBC radio1 show giving Steve the confidence to move forward. In 2008 Mary Anne Hobbs again supported the Barbarix sound by championing the track ‘Lucifer’s Happy Hunting Ground’. She described the track as ‘deeply cinematic’. This track was the title track off a four track EP which is available on a Belgium net label called Entity.be, who has had over fifty releases to date. Entity also signed ‘Masicluar’, a 200 bpm glitch track that featured on ‘Vortex’, an album compilation to celebrate their 50th release.
What followed was airplay on a number of internet radio stations in England, Ireland, Scotland, Canada, Florida, Atlanta, Spain, Greece, Belgium, Russia and Ukraine. Then came another break as Barbarix’s tracks got supported on the well-respected Electronic Explorations podcast. Rob Booth who runs the organisation and presents the show was so impressed with the music Steve was producing, he asked him to do an exclusive thirty-five minute mix of his own music for the show.
Steve did his first guest mix and live interveiw on Saad Chishty's show 'THE BEAT' Dallas Texas' number one Hit Music Station 104.9 FM!" Steve played an hour set of all his own tracks and absolutely smashed it.Since then he has had regular plays on Radio1 and the Asian network by Bobby Friction & Nihal and Radio1's 'IN NEW DJ'S WE TRUST' DJ Nerm. 2009 has kicked off with a bang for Barbarix. The biggest highlight so far was being a Radio 1 introducing artist on the Bobby Friction & Nihal show Jan 09
Now Steve is not only getting airplay but his music is getting accepted and appreciated by the biggest radio station in the world Radio 1. 2009 is going to be a big year for this talented producer/DJ, as he is without a doubt one of the most adventurous, original and diverse producers currently on the scene. Barbarix, get to know the name and get to know the sound. BARBARIX HAS ARRIVED!
