Steve aka Podders is a DJ from Cheshire with a long-standing love for trance music and the culture around it. He has been DJing since the late 1990s and over the years has built up a strong connection to the records, labels and sounds that defined an era. Known for quality track selection and a real understanding of how to build a set, he brings experience, passion and musical knowledge every time he plays.
Vinyl has always been his preferred format and remains a big part of who he is as a DJ, but he is equally comfortable on digital and more than capable of adapting to any setup without losing what makes his style his own. For Podders, it has never been about the format alone, it is about the music, the flow and the connection with the crowd.
Whether he is playing live in a club, putting together a guest mix or streaming online, his sets are rooted in classic trance, forgotten favourites and the sort of tracks that still mean something years later. His focus is always on sharing great music, creating the right atmosphere and taking people back to the records and moments that made them fall in love with trance in the first place.
