‘The Art of the DJ’ is the story of Steve Lawler's rise to the forefront of UK underground dance music and an 80-minute journey into a career that has spanned almost three decades in the music industry. With help from peers such as Carl Cox, Darren Hughes, Danny Whittle, James Todd, and Ben Turner, and through Steve’s friends and family, we discover the path leading to Steve Lawler’s status as one of the most truly influential DJs of our time.
‘The Art of the DJ’ is a brutally candid expose of Steve Lawler’s life which sees Steve open up completely on his experiences of drugs and his self-proclaimed destruction of his reputation. It was evident from a young age that Steve would have a deep connection with electronic dance music and at 16, he experienced his first night and was immediately hooked. After countless attempts at normal day jobs from accountancy to butchery, Steve began to throw illegal parties in a tunnel under the M42 motorway, and his love for partying resulted in him dealing narcotics casually. A brutal attack made Lawler re-think and re-evaluate, and ‘The Art of the DJ’ shows how Steve rebuilt his career from scratch.
‘The Art of the DJ’ explores Steve Lawler’s history as one of the original UK resident DJs. Before long, he was getting flown internationally for gigs which eventually led him to Ibiza.
Steve landed gigs at Cafe Mambo and was playing 8 hours a day, 7 days a week. Steve tells of the disappointment which followed, resulting in him almost selling off his beloved record collection before a phone call from clubland legend and Cream founder Darren Hughes changed his life. A residency at Cream meant Steve’s profile skyrocketed, eventually leading him towards a 9-year residency at Space in Ibiza, gaining him the notorious title as ‘King of Space’. Carl Cox and others tell of Steve’s talent for rocking the now-historic Terrace in its heyday with his unique style – a sound that was unlike anything else on the island at the time.
With nostalgic footage of the Space Terrace and Cream and exclusive interviews from some of the UK’s leading figures in dance music,
‘The Art of the DJ’ is a first-hand account of the ups and downs of Steve Lawler’s life. An extensive in-depth account of Steve Lawler’s long career at the top of UK underground music.
