Steve Rachmad

Steve Jerome Rachmad operates from Amsterdam as a techno producer and DJ who began releasing music in the mid-1980s. Born in 1969, he works under multiple aliases including Sterac, Scorp, and Ignacio, with his first documented release on Electrobuzz appearing in October 2010. Rachmad started experimenting with music at age 12 using an open reel tape deck to mix and remix records in a cut-and-paste style.

His sound spans techno's driving peak-time territories alongside raw, deep, and hypnotic variations, with occasional forays into tech house. Rachmad releases on labels including Kanzleramt, STOOR, Life And Death, Bass Culture Records, and Kynant Records, maintaining consistent output with 12 releases documented through 2025. His productions favor the harder edge of techno's spectrum, delivering the kind of driving energy that works across both underground club floors and peak-time festival slots.
