Mentioning releases, remixes, or labels on which Steve Rachmad has shown his craftsmanship is pointless and time-consuming. So is boasting about the clubs and festivals on which he has left his mark. It would just make for another list of names, places, and brands…. Let’s not do that. Feel free to visit the usual channels (Discogs, Soundcloud, Beatport) and take your pick from numerous productions and DJ sets. They all come from three decades of dedication, sweat, and polishing a one of a kind talent.

Because as Miles had his horn and Pablo took to canvas, Steve has an unequalled gift for (almost physically) connecting with every thinkable drum machine and synthesizer out there. If the man had kids, boys would listen to Roland or Robert (Moog), and a girl would surely be named Linn, after the machine made famous by Prince and others in the 80’s. Some claim it’s analogue machine telepathy, others say he was born with all the right connectors and inputs hidden somewhere underneath his trademark curly hairdo.

This ability has established Steve as one of those artists that simply last because of quality. New generations of artists from different genres recognizes his signature and therefore play his work.

As a DJ he is constantly reinventing himself. Set firmly in the best that techno and house have to offer at the moment, Rachmad draws inspiration from his love for high quality disco and electro from the past. As words can never truly describe music, we’ll end with advising you to go check him out and hear for yourself what Steve is all about.

Passionate about music, I love to tell a story in my sets. Take you on a journey which makes you forget about everything else for a moment.
From Organic House to Progressive House, Melodic Techno to Techno. As long as it's deep and touching. Often dark but never obscure. I hope you enjoy it as much as I am.

In bad times the way forward is reinvention. The Entertainment sector is down; no stage lights, no live audience, no theatre, you can almost hear the sound of silence. To avoid becoming a fugitive to the pandemic, Isaac Bullock Kintu went back to the drafting table, summoned his Ugandan roots, found like minds in Marlice Baart(co-writer) & DJ NLZ(producer) and Kyakuwa Music surfaced. Because when the going gets tough, the tough get going. Kyakuwa is another name his mother gave him which means "a gift from God".

He perform for a king when he was 6, tasted the sweet perfume of the mountain grass (the stage) and became an addict to the stage ever since. Sharing the stage with different artists inspires him. It pushes him to learn different styles of music while inspiring others. In fact, before the Corona Crisis, he led different live formations in the Netherlands and abroad, collaborating with more than 800 musicians. His clients count on him and his formations to close Festivals, perform on business congresses, radio, and TV stations. They play around 50 shows a year.

With #kyakuwamusic, they hope to inspire colleagues in the entertainment industry to embrace and leverage the open online platform. Most of all, they would like to inspire music lovers and people at large to search for the silver lining and hold on tight while reinventing themselves.
