About Me

Free MySpace BackgroundsStefano Calonico aka Steve Aftertouch was born in Sulmona in 1976.
His family quickly understands that music was his greatest passion when, at the age of 5, with two plastic drumsticks he destroys the living room couch simulating a drum playing.
At the age of 6 he receives as a gift a VL Casio his first keyboard that he still jealously keeps. When Steve at the age of 12 meets Must, a new friendship begins and Steve learns from him the techniques and the secrets of mixing. At the age of 16 after lots of hard work he becomes resident dj in a well known club in Sulmona.
At a certain time in his career Steve understands that his goal is not to be a dj, turntables and mixers were not enough, he does not want to play someone elses compositions, he would like that others would play his.
Must in the mean time transforms his dads old studio into a real recording studio, the two start almost as a game but with a real ambition a project called KamaProject.
Steve is still in love with the music that he used to listen as a child , the 80s style and the Depeche Mode.
Years go by, styles change and technology evolves and Steve, always against the current, searches for retro sounds and vintage machines. Steve was able to purchase online his first real synth strictly vintage, the historical Roland Juno 106.
The machine was sold to Steve by the great mind Shape the two are still in contact and exchange demos and ideas.
The KamaProject was put aside by Steve and Must in 2002; unfortunately their inexperience causes that 3 projects of their album were reworked and used by labels wits that 3 projects of their album were reworked and used by labels with no recognition to the two artists.
Steve and Must ways tear apart After several experiences Steve and Must in 2004 start working again together and enrich the team with dj Andryu the project RelativeDepth.
