About Me


nbsp;
Biography:
Steve Armstrong is a DJ/MC Based in Perth, Western Australia. Originally from Manly in Sydney, From an early age he was influenced by the sounds of Hip Hop and Gangster Rap. Which lead to an interest in Hardcore MC’ing when in early 2004 when he was taken by a few friends to his first rave. Discovering the sounds of Hardcore, Steve was instantly hooked.
In January of 2005 he teamed up with Thrillseeka promoter and Gabber legend DJ Crystal who showed him the ropes and gave him an insight in to what the scene was all about. Later that year after establishing himself in the Sydney scene he picked up a fortnightly residency at popular Thursday club night Dosage and alongside other residents DJ Dover, DJ Focus and MC Rek formed the group Four Point Theory. It was around this time that Steve bought his first vinyl and set of turntables and began the long frustrating process of learning to mix.
2006 proved to be a successful year with bookings from a host of different promoters such as Sinizta Muzik (Adelaide), Aladdin Entertainment, MA-15+ Entertainment, Tigerlilly Marketing, Revolution Productions, Josh and friends Presents and Headstrong productions to name a few. Steve also jumped behind the scene’s and alongside Cranky Entertainment promoted two events. "A New Beginning" in January and “Nothing Suss” in June which was a complete sell out! During this time he played his first DJ set at Dosage B2B with Ryno.
In March 2007 Steve moved to Perth and decided to take time off from performing, but after 3 months the Hardcore itch returned and he hooked up with a promising new DJ/Producer by the name of DJ Luminate.
After their first back to back booking at Reset 2 the parties started coming in quick succession, playing regularly for F.O.R.C.E Entertainment they established themselves as one of Perth‘s most exciting Hardcore DJ duo‘s playing most of the events in 2007 and 2008.
In that time Steve also went on to play at WA’s largest hard dance nightclub, Rise.
In 2008 he was also voted in the top 3 category of the Perth Dance Music Awards (PDMA) "Best MC" award, no small feat as this category is usually dominated by Drum n Bass & Hip Hop MC's.
2009 looks to be even more promising with bookings from Perth rave promotion companies Future Dance, TDI Productions, Mizhap Productions and the huge Rise Dance Club...

S3rl (Relentless/Executive/AWF)
Sc@r (Raw Elements/Executive, UK)
