DJ Stephan.V.

Vinyl is the medium for DJ Stephan.V., who has been playing records around Melbourne for more than 20 years. The roots are in funk and R&B, and from there the sets moved into house in most of its shades: soulful, vocal, funky, Latin, Afro, tribal, jazz and disco house, along with lounge and beach house for the slower hours. Stephan has also run nights as an event manager, so there's an understanding of how an evening is put together from the other side of the booth. That counts on a long night where the music needs to start warm and build. For guests who like a real record crate and a groove that sits in the pocket, it's a sound choice.
