Songpot · Amsterdam Dance Event 2026

STERAC is Steve Rachmad's darker techno alias: low-lit, tough-edged, and built around tight machine rhythms rather than big melodic release. The sound sits deep and direct, with the sort of pressure that works in long club sets and late-night rooms.

More about STERAC

Rachmad's STERAC catalogue runs through 100% Pure, M-Plant, Tresor, Klockworks, and Delsin, which places him inside the Dutch techno continuum with strong German label ties. His 1995 album Secret Life Of Machines and later remixes kept the alias active and referenced by peers like Ricardo Villalobos and Marc Romboy.
