As resident, Steve played every style from alternative rock, over New Wave, Big Beat, Reggae, HipHop and every over style an open mind can imagine.
During the ninties Steve and Dr.Gonzo, formed Luxembourgs first ReggaeSoundSystem called ANAISSoundsystem. Both played in every known club in Luxembourg. Apart from Djing they organised concerts, raves, events...and were always on a journey onto sound. They promoted bands like FLUYD or Permanent Confusion and DJ's such as Franky de Reuter, Droul, Chook.
