Steve KIW

Steve KIW has been DJing since the late 1980s and has amassed a collection of some 25,000 records and is host of the 'KIW A-Z of Crate Diggin' show on SS Radio. Steve cut his DJing teeth playing in the clubs and bars of north London in the early 90s before settling in at the legendary Enigma parties, playing for them at the weekly sessions at Babushka, and their parties at Hanover Grand, The Cross and Ministry of Sound. Towards the end of the 90s Steve diversified and began to include disco, soul and funk in his sets and delighted in playing a wide mix of music at each gig. His refusing to be pigeon holed into one style or tempo led to his 'Keeping It Wheel' nights, hence the KIW name. Following a spell on London pirate 'TimeFM' Steve joined PushFM in 2005 before moving to Brighton where he spins most weekends; he has a residency at The Fishbowl pub playing six hour sets joining the dots from the 50s to the present day. Steve also spins as part of the seminal Balearic Assassins Of Love. Recent gigs have seen Steve play alongside Greg Wilson, Norman Jay, Danny Rampling, Gilles Peterson and Kenny Hawkes; for London's legendary GOOD TIMES on New Years Eve and at the long running Da Doo Ron Ron 60s pop night, the GO BANG parties in Brighton, Nottingham's Soul Buggin and Norwich's Beatfix. In addition to the KIW podcast Steve hosts exclusive mixes on Soundcloud and has a facebook group which is kept up-to-date with gig and mix info... "KIW: Keeping It Wheel"
