Steve Birch is best known for his releases on Joof Recordings including two albums this year under his own name and Lucid Dreamer alias. Support has come from Armin, Ferry, M.I.K.E (Push), Marco V, Lange, Dave Pearce and of course Mr. John 00 Fleming.

Steve started djing a year after raving at 'Fantazia and 'Dreamscape' around ‘92/93 and soon after, started writing own compositions.

Amongst his influences are The Prodigy, Future Sound Of London, Orbital, Hallucinogen and Astral Projection. This must be where Steve's goa and psychedelic characteristics come from. Steve first met James Zabiela and John Doe in Movement Records, Southampton in the mid 90’s, this led to a residency on MAX FM with James and John. Soon after he started regular gigs at events such as 'Pulse', 'The Hat', 'Devotion', 'Mentazm'-‘Trance Planet’, not forgetting a few illegal raves in the New Forest in the year 2000.

Steve attended Salisbury College to study music In 2002 he was awarded a business loan from the Princes Trust to help support various writing projects.

In 2004 all the hard work paid off in the end when Steve was signed to Joof records, John Fleming has been a great support.

Joof released his debut 'SPACED OUT' which had some really positive feedback. Full support has come from Armin, Ferry, M.I.K.E (Push), Marco V, Lange and Dave Pearce who aired it on Radio One several times and played it in his Homelands2004 set. Since then he has completed various remixing projects and written loads more trance, including a couple of vocal tracks.
