I played with him once long ago in Zoetermeer. 😎. I played with a lot of other DJ's also but he came early and stayed longer. Talked about the tracks we played, absolutely really friendly guy and not arrogant at all! He's still here playing, im not. But the flashback stays in my mind.
I do so agree and if there is one thing I would like every aspiring musician/producer to know it is this: So you have an idea, a hook a riff a certain sound basically anything you record that idea, it doesn't matter how you accomplish that either . So now you start building a song structure around that and all goes well right? Now here comes the biggest f@&k up which is a trap I fell into way too often. Something sounds 'off' in the arrangement or mix and you end up editing and fiddling with the one idea your whole song is based upon and all of a sudden everything falls apart. The energy is gone, the track sounds lame or weak and not interesting anymore. So. Please take this to heart, there is a ghost living in your idea, grab that moment, record it and don't let go. Whatever you do afterwards, leave your original idea alone. My 2 cents, thanks.
This man know his stuff, cool personality. Love watching these studio videoes where we get to see the juicy setup of all the synths, midi keyboards, and what not :)
I personally think the Steve touch in techno and in other genres with his aliases is just amazing, it’s different from anyone else and it’s recognizable istantly,my favorite musician and techno artist 🙏❤️
Im 21, more but have always been into electronic music, and I have found the opinion of this man very interesting and have agreed with him a lot, especially about the “think too much” aspect. Thank you guys for the interview!
Comon... only 7.33 min.. this legend has so much more to say and teach !!! Give him at least 1hr time !! In 1995 ( on a kozmozz - bootparty- Gent Belguim- dj kozz) i discoverd -publiq space ( aka steve rachmad) menuditis ... check it !! Have this on vinyl and still play it...
Legendary producer. Been listening to and loving his tracks from the beginning. Steve was never afraid of chords and layered synths giving his tracks a gorgeous, rich, full sound. As for his amazing studio, "Equipment Chasing" indeed!
I remember back in 1995 buying a Sterac EP on 100% pure "Darkness in my life" was an awesome track, great to see/hear the man in the flesh still alive and well making music.
Respec! Dear Steve, you are one of my all time favorite producers... I started collecting your records back in the day and got most of your early releases... Thank you.
Love hearing all that sound advise , I also tried going into the box , and ended up coming back out ,and the old analog gear I have , even though it’s not got the modulation and choice of filters and waveshsapes ,it just sounds so right all the time . I found with plugins I always needed to add more and more layers ,with hardwear it’s sounds so good you you don’t need too. Just some nice effects and leave the rest to the arrangement ..depends what you like really , I do love so much music that is made well just inside the box . But it just doesn’t seem as fun , sat in a chair fixed at one position ,staring at a screen .
I love his approach and his workflow- Just the smooth way i also love doing things!! Too many seem so far up their own a+++es nowadays, but that really clicks what he xplains.
Truth. A complicated workflow messes with emotion which is the key, everything. I also have a Boss SE70, used only if the synths onboard effects arent good enough. Digital gear has effects which I program into the patches but the SE70 is useful for analog gear to add beefy chorus. Simple and effective. Ensoniq synths have even more incredible effects though, but the studio is like a work of art, there is no one right answer but myriad combinations and ultimately you decide what is right.
Al zo lang uiterst zuinig op z'n sound. Altijd de ziel bewarend in techno. Ook het oude werk staat nog steeds everfresh als een huis. Vaandeldrager. Absoluut.
Sterac looks a lot like Rodney Bishop who was the mc half of the early 90's Dance Music duo Capella lol I agree with him 100% when it comes to the character of the old synths. It's something that can't really be explained.

“Don’t apply rules too much” such a simple philosophy to end with
That is why the early house/techno is so magical. Nowadays it all about copying styles from a 'hit' track, creating genres..
Old ways are the best.

Basically, my favourite producer... and a good buddy also. Rock on Steve. Respect.
Steve is a legend. So many great productions under different names.

An ask the producer episode with Him would be so cool!
No...i disagree. The last thing he wants is someone MASTERING his sh* t
Great Tech Talk Steve, loved it. Thank you.
This man know his stuff, cool personality. Love watching these studio videoes where we get to see the juicy setup of all the synths, midi keyboards, and what not :)

Ты на верном пути!
Awesome. One of my techno heroes. His dj sets, productions and his studio approach are all very aspiring
Inspirational Dude, this video needs a part 2
Love the focus of this one. Emotion is king.
Secret Life of Machines is one of my favorite techno albums still. It has so much of that high tech soul feeling that I crave from techno!
One of the great Dutch electronic musicians

Seriously need more from him!! Although this was 7 and a half minutes of delicate inspiration + what a wholesome guy!
Altijd fijn deze man te horen draaien ook
Steve is such a kind man! been waiting for this one!!

One of the greatest techno producers of all time
A real life legend still living amongst us humans!
Racmad is Techno Genius! and his Dj set I saw in Detroit is my most memorable even now after 6 years
I love Steve Rachmad, saw him at Movement in Detroit in 2017 and he was incredible, seems like such a nice guy too x
ruclips.net/video/hUuiOmtyxPQ/видео.html
That’s the set, amazing
That studio is just gorgeous. If I had infinite cash and knowledge, I think my studio would look 100% like this.
All his music is amazing.
such a cosy looking space to work!
ElectronicBeats; the audio production/treatment is very good for this video!
Cool man, cool studio
Absolute legend. Completed is in my top ten techno tracks.
Amazing talk. Steve is a pioneer and has a serious love for the music. Thank you for your craft. Keep shining.
He’s the man!
Such a nice guy with a great studio and workflow! ❤️
Awesome! Was waiting for this!
Love that guy!
Thank you Steve Rachmad! You're a king!
Respec! Dear Steve, you are one of my all time favorite producers... I started collecting your records back in the day and got most of your early releases... Thank you.
Thank you!
what a cool guy. great studio setup
Great guy 💯
Cool gelijk even opgezocht die Matrix 1000 controller. Bedankt voor het delen van je studio workflow Steve, leuk om te zien.
Er is ook 'n wat goedkopere kleinere versie. Ook erg cool en handig
Very nice setup.
This is great, for me one of the best to do it. Most the people on these EB video's cant touch the quality of Steve.

This is wonderful. You're a very inspiring person
Already loved him and now I find out he's a starwars fan. Thanks for the TechTalk!
nice talk and perfect filming !
@Telekom Electronic Beats , can you please include a tracklist in your video description for future videos? Please upvote if you agree!
legend and inspiration.
a lot of what he says here resonates with me.... plus he has great taste in gear!
I love his approach and his workflow- Just the smooth way i also love doing things!! Too many seem so far up their own a+++es nowadays, but that really clicks what he xplains.
Steve is a don. Great to see this! Peace & love from Rotterdam
What a nice bloke.
Inspiring stuff! Thank you for this!
OMG, I love this guy!🤩
Amazing! Thank you
Great gear selection and philosophy; man has his priorities straight
amazing artist and very cool studio setup!
I love speaking on gear.

True Legend ❤️

STEVE
Absolutely incredible producer, have so many of his records
Geez what a droolworthy collection of gear. So envious of that Matrix programmer, wish i had one back in the day.
Intro music is so great
Legend!
Al zo lang uiterst zuinig op z'n sound. Altijd de ziel bewarend in techno. Ook het oude werk staat nog steeds everfresh als een huis. Vaandeldrager. Absoluut.
This guy is a legend. I found out about him from Stacey Pullen DJ Kicks.
Genius.
Anyone have a track list of his songs playing in the video? Great grooves!
All tracks are from his latest album „The Beauty And The Sea“.
Echt een held 🙇♂️🙇♂️🙇♂️
very good
love you master!
Sticking with the first mix.. I think that's a real good advice.
Could you put the track names somewhere?
All tracks are from his latest album „The Beauty And The Sea“
@@ElectronicBeatsTV thanks
Are you the producer?
@@ElectronicBeatsTV You guys should link it in the description. Opportunity to support Steve's work
nice Guy, an great Music
Digging the Star Wars vibes
Nice one !
Sterac looks a lot like Rodney Bishop who was the mc half of the early 90's Dance Music duo Capella lol
I agree with him 100% when it comes to the character of the old synths. It's something that can't really be explained.
Brilliant, I love his approach.

Cool!
looks like a very nice studio setup :-)
