Creative, Steady, Determined.

 This native Chicagoan came of age during the burgeoning local dance music scene in the 1980s. A fast and eager learner of the technical skills of his craft, it has always been his desire to speak to his listeners through musical selections to evoke feelings beyond mere dance floor mayhem; He plays music that makes a difference. 

 In 1998, Elbert was approached by the Giorgio Armani boutique in Chicago to play their annual Christmas Party, at Maxim's de Paris, a posh and private venue on Chicago's fashionable Gold Coast neighborhood to rave reviews. Numerous guest appearances followed, most notably are the Bang The Party Brooklyn/Manhattan events hosted by Lorie Caval and Eman, the Funky Buddah lounge, 2i's (NYC), Sound Bar, Glass (NYC), Sonotheque, Zentra, Transit, Baktun (NYC), the Victor Hotel, the Monkey Club in Paris France, Square One, Transit, the Def Mix Zone (XM Radio channel 80), the grand opening of A/X Armani Exchange in Schaumburg, Illinois and a featured interview on the Ministry of Sound's Mix of Nations television program. In the summer of 2003, Elbert joined respected djs, producers and performance artists for a summer music festival billed as the Sound System Block Party in Chicago's Wicker Park neighborhood; a wildly popular annual event that brings people together around quality music and art. 

 In 2002, Elbert was commissioned by Frederick Dunson of D/E Entertainment, to play at a birthday celebration for legendary DJ Frankie Knuckles. Frankie was so impressed with Elbert's talents that he granted him the rare and honored privilege to open the evening at D/E's annual July event at the House Of Blues; Elbert would embark on a four year tenure of playing occasional private home gatherings and warming up crowds for the Godfather of House Music! Frankie’s passing was distressing for everyone in the House Music community but, the City of Chicago's Department of Cultural Affairs put together an epic event honoring Frankie's life on June 3rd 2014: Elbert was the first deejay contacted to pay his respects with a heartfelt DJ-set to a crowd of thousands in Millennium Park.  Recently, Elbert has been working on studio production, resulting in the release of his reworking of Rufuss’ “Higher Together” (DJ Elbert’s Dance floor Redux) featured on Qalomota’s Classics Remixed, and "Beacon of Light" featuring spoken word artist Isa Bright Starr, also on Qalomota Records, France. Elbert was also a contributing editor for 5 Magazine Chicago, a monthly publication that covers local, and international house music culture. (www.5chicago.com/djseries/may2007.html) In 2007, Elbert graduated with a design degree from Columbia College Chicago, and was selected by CDM/NFP to create the official logo for "Move: the 2006 Chicago International House Music Festival."With these reputable talents behind him, look for Elbert to gain new levels of experience in the times to come.


Steve Fabus, one of the few club DJs whose career spans almost the entire history of the profession and art form itself. He has played at legendary clubs Trocadero Transfer, I-Beam and EndUp in San Francisco, Tracks and River Club in NYC and Does Your Mama Know and Probe in LA. Currently in SF he is co-founder with Sergio Fedasz and resident of Go BANG going into its 12th year. He plays all over the San Francisco Bay Area and has done guest spots across the country in NYC, Chicago, LA, Seattle, Philadelphia, Miami and other cities. Across the pond he's played at Horse Meat Disco and Dalston Superstore in London, Cocktail d'Amore in Berlin and Sub Club in Glasgow. Last summer he played a banner closing set at the Honcho Campout queer music gathering on the East Coast and was scheduled to play the Glastonbury Music Festival in the UK this June.

BIO  Early years details:
While playing the city’s infamous all-night loft party, Boiler Room in 1977, Steve was recruited to spin San Francisco's first large venue disco, The I-Beam. Trocadero Transfer opened shortly thereafter where Steve shared the booth with Bobby Viteritti.  In 1980, Steve became a resident of San Francisco’s legendary EndUp.  His shift was the 6 am to 2 pm slot for the Sunday morning party and many people credit him for starting what is still known as "Church".  

Offered residencies at both River Club and Tracks, Steve moved to New York City in 1983. Steve was inspired by many of the great DJs of this pinnacle period of Dance Music, from Larry Levan and David DePino at The Paradise Garage and Tracks, to Robbie Leslie at The Saint. Disco transitioned to Garage and House on Steve's Sundays at Tracks, where the night would not end until Monday morning.  

In 1988 Steve moved back to San Francisco to reopen Dreamland, and not long after, joined forces with promoter Gus Bean at the House club, Crew at the the former Trocadero space.  Steve then moved to Los Angeles in 1990 and quickly became a resident at Axis, Asylum and Pulse, and often played at Probe and the legendary afterhours club, Does Your Mama Know?
