Celebrating Steve Rachmad: 14 Essential Tracks (Electronic Beats TV)

In this Electronic Beats TV video, we celebrate Dutch techno legend Steve Rachmad, whose music has left a lasting mark on electronic music and inspired generations of producers, DJs, and fans. Born in Amsterdam in 1969, Rachmad has quietly become one of the true legends of electronic music — even if he never chased the spotlight the way some of his DJ peers did. Since the early 1990s, whether under his own name or aliases like Sterac, Parallel 9, Ignacio, Scorp and many others, Steve has built a catalogue that has influenced generations of DJs and producers while continuing to inspire new artists today. To celebrate that legacy, Cari Lekebusch, Ogazón, Marrøn, Marcel Dettmann, Benny Rodrigues a.k.a. ROD, Mark Broom, Lady Starlight, Sandrien, Nastia, Joel Mull, The Advent, Hiroko Yamamura, Richard Akingbehin, Alexander Kowalski and Shaleen share their favourite Steve Rachmad track and explain why his music continues to resonate decades after its release. 00:00 Intro 00:53 Cari Lekebusch 01:51 Benny Rodrigues / ROD 03:35 Lady Starlight 04:23 Ogazón 06:12 Marrøn 07:10 Marcel Dettmann 07:56 Sandrien 09:48 Joel Mull 11:37 The Advent 13:32 Nastia 15:34 Hiroko Yamamura 16:28 Alexander Kowalski 17:22 Richard Akingbehin 18:16 Shaleen 19.33 Mark Broom Which Steve Rachmad track is your favourite?
