Steve Lawler

Watching DJs combined with actual performance skills is something incredible to watch, and Steve Lawler totally blew me away with both the musicality, and the performance of his set. His versatile production of many genres of music has seen him signed by huge labels, from R&S Records, Be As One, and many more, he is one of the most in demand artists around at the moment.

His support act, a hip hop act, hyped up the audience in preparation for Lawler’s set, and by the time the lights went down and the bass echoed across the crowd, everyone was screaming and cheering for him to begin. He opened with his remix of Collecting Data, which had everyone singing along straight away. From behind his DJ booth he was waving his arms in the air, encouraging everyone to dance along, and getting really into the music himself, all the while he was performing some really complex mixes on his desk.

He played a really diverse set, with tracks from Almerina and other originals, to older work, and unreleased tracks with great samples for everyone to sing along to. He’s an incredible musician, and an even better performer.
