 ''So Fresh, So Clean'' could be the perfect title for Steve Porter. It can easily describe his personality, his look and more importantly his music. 2003 was another banner year for the boy wonder with his big time single ''Definite Form'' and his now classic remix of Amber's ''Anyway''. Adding to that his underground side projects Agent 001, HDF and Bons and his looming artist album, his music sees huge support across the spectrum of DJs from Sasha and John Digweed to Carl Cox to Mark Farina and Derek Carter.
Something of a child prodigy from a famous father, but his first love and choice was always music. Discovering electronic sounds at 16 years old, Steve dove deeply into it all. Along with his mother, he loaded on decks and studio gear to start learning the art of DJing and productions. When some tracks fell into Chris Fortier's hands, it really started moving. Support quickly followed from so many of Steve's DJ heroes. Many labels from around the globe took notice of Steve's talent and the remix offers started pouring in with most recently the next single from Iio called ''Smooth''.
Steve has now made a huge mark with his techno edged house productions. His studio work was only one facet of Steve's two prong attack. His DJing is where he really rocks the funky beats. His move to New York City from Boston has only put more fuel to the fire. Along with dates across the country and tours with Sasha (Airdrawndagger Tour), Sander Kleinenberg (Essential Mix Tour) and Chris Fortier, Steve is in demand from Tokyo to Tampa. With over 20 remixes to his credit, his Agent 001 and HDF and Bons projects busting down doors, he is leading way for the next wave of America's future stars.
