His soul disco sound of the late seventies and early eighties would be a precursor to the House music that would follow. After moving to San Francisco, Steve would host house parties, where he would mix music for the many new friends he was making in the city. San Francisco was already the counter-cultural capital of America, home of the North Beach Beats and Haight-Ashbury hippie movement; now it was the epicentor for the sexual revolution and gay liberation. There was a social, sexual, political explosion in the city. It was a wild, exhilarating time and the whole city was a party. Two people that were part of the scene at Steve's parties included a pre-disco Sylvester, who was a member of the radical drag troupe "The Cockettes", and Harvey Milk, who would become America's first gay politician elected to public office. They would be part of the growing energized gay subculture that was creating a party for the world. Steve played at San Francisco's first major all-night loft party called "Boiler Room." In 1977 Steve Fabus was hired to play at San Francisco's first big disco, the I-Beam. Trocadero Transfer opened a short time later and Steve worked there with Bobby Viteritti. During these same years, 78, 79, Steve was the resident DJ at Chains, which was the leather bar at 8th and Howard street, Black and Blue, that was transformed into an all-night dance club. In 1980, Steve Fabus became a resident of the legendary EndUp in San Francisco. His shift was the 6am to 2pm slot on Sunday mornings. Many credit Steve for starting what is still known to this day as "Church" at the EndUp. Steve established a soulful edge in the morning with records like D-Train's "Your The One For Me" in 1982. Steve always wanted to play in New York and in 1983 he was offered a spot at the River Club in Manhattan and took it. The River Club was in the old 12 West space in the West Village. Steve played there a short time because the club closed but was soon hired by Michael Fesco to play at Tracks, a club that opened uptown on 19th St. Steve played Sundays at Tracks and introduced Chicago House on his nights. David Depino, Michael Jorba, and Michael Fierman were also regulars at Tracks. Steve also played at the Palladium, Steve Rubell's mega showplace club famous for it's giant video grid screens (of Club MTV fame) and Keith Haring's giant mural. It was now later in 1988 and Steve gets a call from promoter Ron Baer in San Francisco. Ron wants Steve to move back to San Francisco to reopen Dreamland. Steve moved back to SF and not only reopened Dreamland but also reopened the Trocadero, albeit with a different name. Steve had brought in a new young promoter, Gus Bean, to do Saturday nights in the Trocadero space. Gus called the club Crew. Steve played at Crew and then Colossus until he moved to LA in 1990. In LA Steve Fabus became one of Jeffrey Sanker's resident DJ's. He also worked for Sandy Sachs. He played the circuit, including White Parties. Steve also started an after-hours house club "Pulse" with DJ Andrew D and worked with Tony Largo at "Does Your Mama Know?" Fabus was an earlier adopter of the new house records coming out of New York and Chicago in the 80s. He will be crafting an exclusive 3 hour set of some of his favorite house music for the Honey dance floor.
