The Ballad of El Quanto acts I & II

Featuring: Paul Trevorrow (Scruffy Deluxe), Dr Spencer Murphy, James Wilsey, Amy Nelson, Tim Sturdy and The Sky about to Rain

I am a DJ and Producer that has been involved in the UK techno scene for over 20 years, not only as a DJ and a Producer but as the promoter of one of the UK's Finest Underground techno nights of the nineties and early noughties.

My Uncompromising productions earned me acclaim in the late nineties, with a style that was aimed directly at the harder end of the techno spectrum. My Dj sets have been hi-octane mixes encompassing many genre's that can sustain a direct but diverse approach sometimes surprising crowds with breakbeats, vocals and rave anthems whist maintaining that locomotive techno groove, My sets that have won me both acclaim and awards in the past as the best DJ at some of the large European festivals. 

I ran the hugely successful underground Techno club 'Geushky' from the early 90's until 2003 & headed up the labels Geushky Recordings and later, Intravenous Cuts. I  have DJ'ed in over 30 countries, remixed some great artists and my tracks have appeared on compilations from Carl Cox and Mauro Picotto to name just two.
 
Geushky Recordings is about to be reborn so please check out the page and support the label.

You won't find too much meandering stuff here so I hope you enjoy the music I post.

Moving forward you will get a selection of different mixes and new releases encompassing many styles, all dancefloor oriented but with many flavours.  for the love....

Acoustic, electric. Any singers out there fancy writing some songs ?

Edie Review " Thankfully Steph is still ploughing her particular esoteric furrow and has just released her new single Edie which is as good as anything she's released to date. It sounds like a darkly psychedelic theme from a long forgotten  left field spaghetti western and it's absorbing and utterly enchanting. If the Velvet Underground had been commissioned to do the title track for the Good, The Bad and the Ugly, this is how it would sound." The Devil Has The Best Tuna 13th May 2022

Gigradar "British singer-songwriter Steph Sweet freely admits she’s a “refined taste” but it’s difficult to not be intrigued by her feisty, often contentious approach to pyschy acoustic indie-rock meets punk brand of music."

Popocculture
"Steph Sweet has brought an interesting and new sound to this area.
With powerful vocals, and swirlly and crunchy guitar riffs that wouldn’t sound out of place in a late 90’s britpop, yet grounded somewhere more in the early 80’s. “All The Things” is dark, broody, a little strange, but also interestingly an ear worm that will grab you and not let go." 

" If the Bronte sisters formed a freak folk band then it'd probably sound something like this." 
Paul Kerr - The Devil Has The Best Tuna

" Placed somewhere between Devandra Banhart and Joanna Newsome, the singer-songwriter and multi-instrumentalist  -  vocals, guitars, drums, keyboards  -   combines a talent for bewitching songwriting, with a dreamy, lo-fi alt-gaze delivery."
