After his great contribution to Sonar Kollektiv’s critically acclaimed compilation Secret Love 5 (SK196CD/folkwaves) with the beautiful song Destruction of Ourselves, Irish DJ and producer STEE DOWNES is now back on JAZZANOVA’s label to expose his unique talents of singer and songwriter with his brilliant debut album All In A Day (SK203CD/illicity). The upcoming artist hailing from Dublin has been raised with the love of Soul music. He deeply fell in love with the music of STEVIE WONDER, ROY AYERS, GEORGE BENSON, and CURTIS MAYFIELD amongst many others at a young age thanks to his parents’ record collection. This experience shaped his outlook on music and life. Artists such as DONNY HATHAWAY, DANGELO, JAMES BROWN and ARETHA FRANKLIN took in a place in his heart and still inspire him today. Multi-instrumentalist – he plays guitar, bass, keyboard – and renowned DJ that mixes skilfully many different styles from Soul, Folk, Funk and over to Hip-hop and House music for more than 10 years, STEE is very open-minded. This ever-growing interest in other cultures got him traveling all around Europe. In 2002 after the completion of his studies STEE left Ireland’s capital-city for Amsterdam, where he started to focus his attention on writing and production. With his warm and groovy voice STEE rapidly gained recognition in the community of soulful music lovers. London based outfit LOOSE ENSEMBLE got their hands on one his demo’s and promptly asked him to feature on two tracks for the Catalyst EP, which was released on Foundation records. He later collaborated with ECHOPLEX’s ED EUSTACE to be part of Vinylvibes first release, which received the massive support from top-DJs, music connoisseurs and tastemakers such as DOM SERVINI, RAINER TRUEBY, MICHAEL RUETTEN and JAZZANOVA. Inspired by the positive reaction STEE was determined to keep on pushing. He developed his vocal talents and combined them with his original song-writing to create a unique sound. He began to build his repertoire and put together a live show, later supporting top acts such as ROY AYERS, AMP FIDDLER, BUGZ IN THE ATTIC, FAT FREDDYS DROP, DJ SPINNA, RAINER TRUBY, DIESLER and MONEY MARK

Track from Cayetano’s upcoming album at etage noir label, the ‘’big rise’’ of an artist who his horizons are wider than what our eyes and thoughts can see and think. ‘’The Big Fall’’ comes among an active worldwide fall and prooves the precious talent of my fave greek artist. Is it a soundtrack, a global document, a expensive voyage, i really don’t know. I only know the sence of smoked argentinian bar, the iberican colours and lights of a life full of suprices, the thirsty sence of watching a film, of getting ready 2 find another love, another place, another time. Dope beats, fusion sax adventures, piano melodies are coming and go in a balanced harmony like the old gramophone at ‘’Doppelganger’’ offers a déjà vu that only can feel in you dreams.
