Ostgut Ton / Blueprint / Tresor / Soma / 6dimensions / Cosmic
A tireless creator, promoter and organiser, London-based Steve Bicknell has remained deeply engaged and highly active within an underground electronic music scene he has helped shape and inspire since the early ‘90s. Hosting a legendary, long-running series of cutting-edge club nights, running a number of record labels, working as a DJ, producer and remixer, he has functioned as both a visionary vital connector, ambassador and creative participant progressing techno in the UK and abroad through a forward-thinking and rigorously uncompromising attitude.
Growing up in London an environment steeped in dub, Blues parties, warehouse events and pirate radio, Steve soon became a resident DJ at Energy, one of the massive ‘Orbital’ raves that took place in locations around London’s M25 motorway, alongside DJ Fabio and Grooverider. With interest snowballing, he went on to secure numerous other residencies and in 1991, Steve and Sheree Rashit set up the LOST parties, which would rapidly become seminal, scene-defining events. One of the longest-running and most respected underground techno nights in the UK, over its 25 year existence, LOST marked the UK debuts of some of dance music’s most uncompromising and inventive creators, luminaries such as Jeff Mills, Richie Hawtin, Basic Channel and Robert Hood. Other regulars included Juan Atkins, Derrick May, Laurent Garnier, as well as homegrown talents Luke Slater, Dave Angel, Insync, James Ruskin, Oliver Ho, Mark Broom, Andrea Parker, Bandulu, Mixmaster Morris, The Black Dog and Autechre. Jeff Mills became a regular and has remained a very close friend and working partner.
Steve released his first recordings under the guise of 'Lost' on Paul Oakenfold’s Perfecto label and then Nova Mute. Steve and Sheree went on to set up their own label, Cosmic records in 1993, to release a stream of his own productions as well as subsequent material from Mark Broom, Jay Denham, Robert Hood, Juan Atkins, DJ Funk and DJ Rush, Tyree Cooper, Dj Deeon and Dj Milton.
As a DJ, Steve has played at clubs, parties and events throughout Europe, Japan, Australia, America, including The Rex, Liquid Rooms, Precious Hall, Yellow, Unit, Sonar Festival, Zouk, Tribal Gathering, Tresor, Bugged Out; Ostgut , Slam, Pure, Berghain and the British arts council. As a producer he has recorded under both his own name and several aliases (The Evader, Kim Bilir, S.B.
Project), as a remixer he has redefined tracks for Joey Beltram, Luke Slater, Plastikman, Dj Rush, Hauschka, The Advent, Teste, The Fisherman, Terence Fixmer, Dustin Zahn and Blazej Malinowski.
Cosmic records returned in 2014, marking a number of new Bicknell Lost Recordings releases and in 2015 Steve released 2 tracks, over 2 vinyl only EP’s on Ostgut Ton as part of Function’s official Berghain 07. 2016 saw Steve produce exclusive tracks for Function’s 'Infrastructure New York', '25 years of Soma' and James Ruskin’s 'Blueprint 20'.
September 2016 Steve will launched his new label titled ‘6dimensions’, focusing on a philosophy of the human mind.
Steve Bicknell’s productions and LOST events have influenced a generation of electronic musicians. Yet despite his huge success, Steve has retained a palpable sense of humility and a true
groundedness in everything he does. Steve’s approach has been devoid of posturing or clamouring for attention. It has never been about following trends, but the formation of his own solid identity – an unswerving vision guided by a deep and enduring devotion to the music that inspires him and a desire to present it in the purest way possible. Founded on and remaining true to a very pure ethic,
Steve Bicknell’s attitude and energy shows no signs of faltering
anytime soon...
