Kicking off at Innercity at Amsterdam RAI, NL on December 17, 2005, Steve Rachmad will tour the World in 2006, celebrating his 25-year involvement in music. This will be followed by some major releases and remixes to be out in 2006, as his new, long-awaited artist album on Music Man Records Belgium, and a Sterac Electronics remix of M.A.N.D.Y. and Booka Shade’s Body Language on Get Physical Records.

In his early teens, Rachmad works as a newspaper boy, spending all his earnings on records and musical equipment. In 1985, at the age of 16, he buys his first piece of hardware—a TR-808. This would be the base stone of his later professional studio, which remains mostly analogue up to present time.

In the latest years, next to his characteristic techno sound, he also actively focuses on electro, stripping it down to the old-school feel. His latest Sterac Electronics remix of the vocal track Love Sweet Love (by Clashing Egos), and the “Night Heat” release on Music Man Records have ended up in the record bags of a wide variety of artists, from techno, to minimal, house and electro. He re-confirms his reputation as an artist with exquisite ear for technical qualities of sound, always returning to his soulful roots and maintaining the warmth of analogue-produced music.

2006 World Tour: 25 Years in Music will bring Rachmad all over Europe, South America, USA, Asia and Australia. Thanking everyone who supported him over the past years, he will return to places that played a major role in his DJ career, as well as enter new areas where he is yet to write his future. In between a busy DJ schedule, Steve also reserved few weeks in 2006 for studio work, as some major labels are awaiting for his EPs and remixes. Parallel, he is involved in the project initiated by Joost van Bellen, for which he is remixing Sebastian Bach’s St. Mathew Passion—project that started in 2003 and culminated on Easter 2003 when a selection of Dutch producers and visual artists presented their outcomes. The new version of St. Mathew Passion—New Generation Remix will be touring in the first weeks of April 2006.
