Songpot · Amsterdam Dance Event 2026

Rachmad works in sharp-edged techno and house with a lot of machine detail: drum-programmed, clean-lined, and tuned for the mix. His set for a meditation-ritual bill suggests a more restrained, textural side rather than full-pressure club mode.

More about Steve Rachmad

Amsterdam’s own Steve Rachmad has been a long-running figure in Dutch techno, releasing under names like Sterac and working across techno, house, and electro. Discogs notes he started buying records at 12 and first released music in the mid-1980s; his own site frames him as a versatile artist across tracks, edits, reworks, podcasts, and DJ sets.
