“Give Steven Lee 5 minutes and he’ll have the place upside down…..”
World Famous “GURU DISCO”-VALENCIA, SPAIN
Steven Lee is one half of the massive Lee-Cabrera team who’s 2004 “Shake It” record garnered record of the year honors and champed a #10 national pop chart position with “Shake It” (Move a Little Closer). Signed with Ministry of Sound world-wide and a regular on Pete Tong’s Essential Selection Steven Lee has tasted all this business has to offer in the last five short years. With regular visits every weekend to Spain, Russia, Australia, China (to name a few) Mr. Lee aims high for the future. Now on his own and taking a hiatus from the Lee-Cabrera name Steven Lee is finding his own creative ear in the studio both solo and together with other top artists in the industry. “Seems like yesterday it was “Shake It”, now 5 years later and touring all over the planet it’s time to get back in the studio and achieve even bigger things on my own”, Lee explains.
With a hit record comes an anniversary and this year Lee Cabrera –vs- Thomas Gold got a revisit and ended up going #1 on Beatport. Now with a Tara Mcdonald vocal and a special Steven Lee & Vincent di Pasquale remix to add to the bunch, it seems this record just won’t go away and why should it? With support from Radio 1, Kiss, Galaxy and all the A-listers a full release on CR2 is imminent.
In 2008 Lee attacked the studio and turned out 10 new singles with the first of the bunch being signed to premiere European labels. “Exit Row” a Pete Tong favorite went to CR2 while “Me, You & Space” (a monster that that attracted over 7000 hits in 3 days on his MySpace page) and now with a Sam Obernik vocal sees light from the legendary Azuli label. A killer remake of Asia “Heat of the Moment” that has ‘crossover’ written all over it has just been signed to the infamous PACHA brand label and as a result Pacha has just signed Lee for a multi-record deal picking up two more of his singles “Fly Catcher” & “Bicep” both receiving excellent exposure on the star packed Pacha albums.
With successful original work comes even more successful remix work. Steven Lee has produced over 40 remixes to date with records like “My Time”- Crystal Waters, “It’s Up To You” - Layo & Bushwacka, “Safe From Harm” - Narcotic Thrust, “Stars” - Morjack, “Rosa Blu” - Planet Funk, “Plastic Dreams” - Jaydee, “Bang Bang”- Audio Bulleys feat Nancy Sinatra, “Big Love”- Pete Heller, “The Rub”- Kurd Maverick, “Fly Life”-Basement Jaxx, “Mothership” - ATFC and “Not Enough”- Roger Sanchez.
To add to his already busy schedule Steven has recently launched his new company Fader Pro. What was once just a creative idea has now turned into one of the most highly regarded audio internet companies around, with recommendations from SAE (School of Audio Engineering), Euphonix, Jimmy Douglass (engineer for Timbaland, Missy Elliot, Justin Timberlake, Nelly Furtado) and Dirty Vegas, to name just a few. “Giving people an inside glimpse to what we do in the studio and showing them exactly how it’s done, and allowing them to then focus on being creative, is the goal for us at Fader Pro”. The first course “The Art of the Remix” can be found on the Fader Pro site in both DVD and streaming formats.
Notorious for his ‘on the fly & risk taking’ style of DJing, Lee has found himself at the forefront of some of the biggest clubs in the world and a feature on many YouTube links. His infectious style and technical ability has earned him the nickname “Baby Morillo” by many of his followers. “I consider myself a better DJ than I am a producer, I love the big show and love twisting a few thousand people up in knots and causing mayhem on the dancefloor. It’s my job to make ‘em dance and I like to think there’s always going to be a party when I’m at the helm.” Lee has just finished his first full Ibiza season with residencies at Space & El Divino and was called to play the opening of “Super Club” Privilege. You can find him at the Terrace at Space next year as well, as he has already signed with Space to continue the madness!
