DeSteffan, Prague (CZ) DJ and producer is blending an eclectic range of genres to create a unique sonic experience. He is best known as the co-founder of Radio Laude, an innovative internet radio project. DeSteffan’s music is defined by a meticulous approach to track selection, moving seamlessly from analogue electronica to pop punk, contemporary dance, and club music. His sets are a blend of old-school and retrofuturistic sounds, fused with modern grit. He excels at building immersive atmospheres, whether constructing massive, bass-driven dance sets or creating deeply atmospheric, introspective journeys. His artistic evolution is also evident in his DESTEFFAN/25:50/MIXTAPE EP, released under the Radio Laude label. In this 25-minute composition, he explores sonic narratives that transcend traditional genres, blending science fiction, horror, rave, and ambient elements into an abstract musical journey. His sound is crafted through a mix of classical synthesizers, drum machines, sludgy guitar samples, and field recordings from New York City, creating a genre-bending experience that invites listeners to decode its layers with repeated listens. As a DJ and producer, Desteffan approaches electronic music not merely as a source of dance rhythms but as a complex, formable world. His dedication to the craft is clear in his deep, thoughtful compositions, which resist the oversaturated trends of the current club scene. His work is a testament to the evolving possibilities within electronic music, offering a refreshing alternative to genre clichés through a combination of erudition, creativity, and craftsmanship.
