Since his earliest productions, Amsterdam’s electronic music pioneer Steve Rachmad has created a legion of monikers for his various compositions. One of the main characters living on Planet Rachmad has always been STERAC: a side of Steve’s musical personality that’s not easily described. Let’s say that where other aliases were used for excursions to more dub-, disco-, or house- oriented records, STERAC’s focus has always been on the no-nonsense, darker, and deeper side of techno. The STERAC discography consists of classic tracks on labels such as M-Plant and Tresor, Klockwords and Delsin. Reinterpretations by Ricardo Villalobos and Marc Romboy to name a few, proved a big hit with fans and fellow artists, while his schedule takes him on a tour past the world’s finest clubs: from Berlin’s Berghain to Tokyo’s Womb, and from Output in New York to Club Rex in Paris. We’re very excited to see – and hear – what kind of techno madness he has in store for us.
