Bobby & Steve DJS / Producers / Radio Presenters /Promoters London



Bobby & Steve were brought up on and inspired by the greats of soul music, such as Teddy Pendergrass, Loose Ends, The Chi-Lites, Leroy Burgess, McFadden & Whtehead, Barry Whte, Thelma Houston, and the Jones grls. Born and bred East End twins Bobby & Steve’s musical heritage rests firmly on the shoulders of soul funk and disco.

In 1984, at just twenty years of age the twns landed their first regular DJ gig at a local wine bar, ‘Simpson’s’, and soon afterwards were holding regular Saturday night warehouse parties, searching out illegal venues which were big enough to hold the hoards of followers as the word spread. Bobby & Steve soon became both instrumental and respected figures in the eighties warehouse party scene, through playing their favourite soul and funk music at their own parties alongside fellow guest DJ’s Norman Jay & Jazzy B from Soul 2 Soul Fame.



From the early days of their influential soul haven Klub Zoo, to their monumental 10 Year Anniversary ‘Garage City’ party at Fabric. IN 2000 to their ten year show on Kiss FM, Bobby & Steve have been constant figure heads in championing the soulful House Sound. Two of the most respected names in dance music, Bobby & Steve, Zoo Events, and now Zoo Groove Stereo Records, continue to command respect for their huge success, past, present and future.



- AUSTRALIA / ASIA -



Bobby & Steve made two trips to Asia, the first was HONG KONG and playing for the MTV ASIA MUSIC AWARDS & CHIVER REGAL PARTY and in 2002 they were invited to play for THE ALFRED DUNHILL LAUNCH PARTY for their new and recently opened store in the City. In 2005, Bobby & Steve were invited back to Hong Kong and performed at the Dragon- I club and have added another date to there 2006 Asia/Australia tour, which kicks off mid February at the Dragon- I in Hong Kong and then to Sydney & Melbourne in Australia for a four date tour.



- MIAMI -



Bobby & Steve have been DEEJAYING and PRODUCING events for 12 years at the Miami Winter Music Conference, their “Soul on the beach party” takes place at the Clevelander hotel on ocean drive every year, and the boy’s rock the party with 4 hour sets.



- IBIZA -



Bobby & Steve hit Ibiza for the first time in 1991 and have been playing on the White island every summer since. They’ve held summer weekly residences at, Es Paradis – El Divino – Eden and have played regular at Pacha, Space and Amnesia.



- RADIO -



News of the success of the boys’ parties soon spread, and it wasn’t long before Bobby & Steve were approached by Gordon Mac, initiator and pioneer of London’s biggest (then) pirate radio station Kiss FM, who offered them a weekly slot. The already established ‘Zoo Experience’ was born. Ten years later and the ‘Zoo Experience’ was Kiss 100 FM’s longest running specialist show. Hosted by Bobby & Steve, the ‘Zoo Experience’ broadcast each and every Friday night between the hours of 10.00 pm and 12.00 am.



- AWARDS -



Bobby & Steve were awarded the “Best Newcomer Show on Kiss Fm” In 1997 and also nominated for the ‘Best Gospel Group’ at the 1997 MOBO (Music of Black Origin) Awards. In 1999 they won the “Best Overseas Radio Show” at the Miami Winter Music Conference. In 2001 they were presented an award for there contribution to music at the “Volkswagen italian Music Awards” In Riccione and in 2003 they were presented with an award for “Best DJ & Promotional Company” at the Underground House Awards in London. In 2004 they were asked to present an award at the “House Music Awards” in London.



However, it was a trip to New York at the tail end of the eighties that was to mark a major turnabout in the futures of Bobby & Steve and Zoo. A visit to Larry Levan’s infamous Paradise Garage club gave the twins their first taste of a new sound dubbed ‘Garage’ music, a sound which American jocks such as Levan and Tony Humphries were championing. Evolving from the more soulful and gospel parts of disco, garage music with its soaring vocals, intricate melodies and jazzy instrumentals, captured the ears of the twins. They had found their sound, dance music that still contained their beloved soulful influences.



With this in mind Bobby & Steve went back to London and wasted no time in launching their legendary Saturday night venture ‘Garage City’, hailed as the UK’s most established Garage night out, playing the best in soulful, funky and uplifting house each and every Saturday for a phenomenal 15 years, and seeing them joined regularly by the biggest names from the house arena. ‘Garage City’ has had visits from the likes of Louie Vega, Tony Humphries, Eric Morrillo, Todd Terry and Danny Tenaglia. ‘Garage City’ has also enjoyed two successful seasons at Es Paradis in Ibiza, plus the release of the ’10 Years of Garage City’ album mixed by the twins via Defected Records to mark it’s 10th anniversary. Since September 1991, and after 15 years of weekly Garage City parties, the twins are now concentrating on promoting one-off monthly “Garage City” tribute parties throughout the UK.
