Step 13 live @ Glastonbury and The Kingston Green Fair 2008 with new vocalist Lucy Randell
Old Step 13 stuff featuring Vicky Young
Yes Yes people of the world. Welcome to the Step 13 page. Home of Live Broc'n'roll crew Step 13. Step 13 was formed from a group of four DJs and producers in 2003. Sick of the DJ fever of the late nineties and full of post millennium apathy they formed a band in search of fresh vibes and a new way of taking their music to the people.
The following years saw experimentation with different line ups and instruments. Band members came and went, some confused, some excited many dumbfounded but never bored, they eventually evolved into an seven piece featuring drums, bass, guitar, keys, samples/synths and sublime vocals from MC Ishu (Manasseh sound system) .
Their enthusiasm for eclectic music saw them dabbling with drum and bass, dub, psychadelia and rock to create their own hybrid sound which they call Broc’n’Roll, leftfield drum and bass with bite.
After making a strong live debut at London’s, Cargo and being hailed as a key live drum and bass act by Knowledge magazine, Step13 went on to perform at many venues and towns throughout the UK. Since the start of 2005 the band has taken time to write a complete new set of material. The upfront live drum and bass vibe is still strong, but the ideas are more focussed with a few eclectic surprises.
Step 13 consider ourselves champions of humanitarian causes and strive to bring about peace and harmony through our music. Call us old hippies but I'ts all about peace and love.
