Nicolas , better known as DJ Steaw or Steaward, is a powerhouse producer and DJ. Born in Rennes, France and currently based in Paris, DJ Steaw travels around Europe and the world at large, playing his bass-heavy, soul-infuenced productions for captivated audiences. Just this year, he played to the biggest audience - 3000 dancers warming up for Derrick May and Carl Craig in Paris and debuted in Australian with shows in Melbourne and Sydney. DJ Steaw’s house tracks are percussive and heavy with bass, featuring bold samples that are everything from melodic to arresting. DJ Steaw cites the African American musical tradition as one of his main inspirations. His listeners can hear its imprints on his work—jazz’s improvisational spirit and rap’s unpredictable rhythm light up DJ Steaw’s house tracks. In addition to DJ’ing and producing music, DJ Steaw is the cofounder of two record labels, Rutilance Recordings and House Puff Records. DJ Steaw’s notable works include “Bel Air,” an EP released in 2017 on Madhouse Records, owned by house music founding father Kerri Chandler. “Bel Air’s” title track was promoted by Mixmag as “a swinging house gem.” In addition to Madhouse and DJ Steaw’s own labels, the producer has released across other taste-making imprints like Hot Haus Recs and Local Talk. His 2012 debut EP, “White Journey,” made a splash in the global community of house DJs—it was deemed “essential” by Traxsource. Just this summer, DJ Steaw has released two new EPs. In May 2018, DJ Steaw kicked off the season began with his “Heaven” EP and he closes with his September release, “Ocean View.” The diversity of sound represented in these EPs alone speaks to the DJ Steaw’s thrilling range as a DJ and producer of house music. The DJ’s first studio LP is set to release in mid-November of this year, representing a new chapter in the producer’s already prolific, commanding career.  DJ Steaw is both an important player on the global stage of house music and a regular at France’s hottest venues. Dancers can find him lighting up the floor at Concrete and Rex Club in Paris, Iboat in Bordeaux, and Terminal in Lyon. He also frequents taste-making clubs in Europe and the world at large, from Berlin’s Tresor to London’s Fabric to Amsterdam’s Claire. His deep house sets carry dancers up to effervescent dream worlds and down deep with dark, hypnotic rhythms. In June 2018, DJ Steaw’s “Everydayz” ranked number 3 in Beatport’s Best New Deep House list. Clearly, Steaw is making waves on the dance floor and  on the global stage of house producers. In addition to being a coveted DJ and producer, DJ Steaw is also the co-founder of record Rutilance Recordings. His most recent label project, House Puff, debuted just over a year ago in March 2017 with a well-received first release, Lauren Lo Sung’s EP “Tresor.” Rutilance Recordings, started by Steaw and his friend DJ Gunnter, celebrated its 5 year anniversary this year. The record label boasts 16 releases, with its much anticipated upcoming 17th release from DJ Steaw himself, a debut album “Rise.” Rutilance’s sub-label, Steaward, provides a harder edge to the label’s otherwise house-heavy sound. One notable release, “Steaward Vol. 9,” is a collaboration between the powerful duo J Shepheard and DJ Steaw, hitting hard with old-school synth and commanding basslines. The Steaward sub-label features vinyl-only productions, articulating DJ Steaw’s loyalty to house music’s raw tradition and elemental hardware. Rutilance recordings, Steaward and House puff records.
