their own biography
the whole biography
Irish-born and New York-based, STE-VÍ has carved out a distinct space within the city’s underground through a disciplined, vinyl-led approach to techno. His selections span the spectrum of the genre, moving from deep, hypnotic layers to driving, emotive peaks and rhythmic grooves, all anchored by a room-led approach. By prioritizing timing and flow, he allows the specific energy of the night to dictate the trajectory of the set. Committed to vinyl culture, his selections prioritize modern pressings while drawing from earlier records for both inspiration and functionality. This approach allows different eras of techno to sit naturally within a forward-looking sound, a perspective recently highlighted by his Berlin debut at Renate for the QS1 showcase in March 2026. Active within New York’s underground circuit since his debut at Basement NY in 2025, he continues to build momentum through consistent appearances at the city's most respected booths. As the founder of Solace NY, he further champions this vinyl-first ethos by curating a platform for emerging talent from the US and Europe. The event series fosters a deliberate exchange between the two landscapes, emphasizing thoughtful programming and a commitment to the fundamental craft of the selector. Whether navigating major club systems or steering an intimate floor, STE-VÍ remains focused on the enduring culture of the wax-only booth.Their RA profile lists VÍSO Records.Recently at Jupiter Disco, 315 Stagg st, H0L0 · often with Adrian Hex, Secret Raver, jay york, none of them here that night
