At the Age of 22 Steve moved to Stoke-on-Trent, where he met up with Darren Bowen and formed the underground house event Corruption.

At the end of 2005 he was asked to play for Illusion at Zero in the house room for there New Years Eve special and then a few more events for Zero before the club closed in early 2006. During 2006 he played for both Dirty Beats & Sexy Freaks and Overload both run at Bar 360 in Stoke.
In early 2005 Steve decided to setup there own record label. In February 2006 Corrupted Records was born, a joint a venture that saw Steve and Darren start producing together under the alias Acid Monkies.
Late in 2006 he was asked to come and play for the newly started Nocturnal event at Keele University for a one off special, from his style and skill behind the decks it was not long till the promoters of Nocturnal offer Steve a weekly residency as the event moved into the centre of Stoke-on-Trent to the newly opened Coco’s Night Club.
In Early 2007 Steve team up with Darren Hall to continue on the project he had started with the Corruption, this time the venue of choice was a monthly session at the new Coco’s night club which he used to invite new up and coming talented dj’s such as Tom Golden from Stylus & Home Grown Music (Manchester) and Adrian J from How Clean Is Your House (London/Kent).

The release is called Technical Disabilaties EP and consists of two tracks which are Disturbia and Mobile Music. He has also finish a few remixes that will be out in 2008 for High Torque and Dave James (Product, Nottingham).
With the success he has had over the past few years as a dj and a producer Steve wanted to up the games on the promotion side and took the opportunity to host a monthly event at the infamous Music Box in Manchester, still under the Corruption name. The Manchester event launches in June 2007 and re-energise the bond between Steve and Darren Bowen, but also bring in Ollie Birch Hampson as new resident to Corruption due to the fact that Ollie had impressed Steve over the past few months from the style of music he was playing.
