Faux Poly kick off 2023 with Eliza, a beautifully detailed and rugged EP by Ste Roberts. Those who know Ste’s productions will be familiar with his signature style of deep, sometimes haunting rhythmic productions that effortlessly maintain a huge presence in any club. This record takes Ste’s music into a new and more intimate personal space whilst staying true to his instantly recognisable sound, blending elements of dark Techno and Electro with a beautifully delicate touch.

“This EP was written and produced at a really unique time of my life as I moved my home studio into a new space due to the birth of our daughter, Eliza. The real life hustle kicked in as my freedom to have a jam when I felt creative had gone. Getting used to a new space and making time count was the new way, and here is the first EP from that time. The EP is called Eliza, because what else could it have been!”

Hypercolour backroom boy, Ste Roberts, surfaces to the top for a long-awaited new release on the label, serving up a trio of wonky and twisted grooves on ‘The Crescent’ EP. More

As A&R for the Hypercolour label, Ste Roberts has been involved in releases by Kris Wadsworth, Groove Armada, Luke Vibert and Maya Jane Coles, plus he's already remixed James Welsh's 'Wanderlust' for Shabby Doll. And now that his own jack-happy 'The Foxy Bingo EP' four-tracker is being released into the wild, it's clear he's as adept at delivering his own perfectly-formed house cuts as he is at picking up on other people's potential. Right from the off, the dancefloor's lucky numbers come up again and again, first with Ste's own mix of 'The Jungle', then with a version mixed by Shabby Doll stalwart and Bent legend, Nail. From then on, it's deep dance delirium all the way – two more tracks of four/four fun, perfect for happy nights and foxy dawns.
So eyes down people; Ste Roberts is here, and it's time to shout 'House!'
