They say nice guys finish last but that certainly isn’t the case for one of Western Canada’s most talked about DJ/Producers; Neon Steve. This peer-declared nice guy has jumped ahead of the game and is quickly showing why he’s held down top spots on Beatport, Juno, Hype Machine and Soundcloud hot charts in addition to taking the 1st spot in Hush Nightclub’s 2010 DJ Challenge. Comfortable rinsing out everything from Disco to Drum and bass, Neon Steve has developed a reputation for producing bass music ranging in tempos with distinct hip hop and funk influences. Anyone who’s had the chance to see him will attest; Neon Steve has an exceptional ability to produce guaranteed boogie down tunes that will have any dance floor poppin off!
Hailing from Vancouver Island and currently residing in Victoria BC, Neon has thrown down in all major cities between Victoria and Winnipeg.
