Beatport Sounds are very proud to present this legacy sample collection from one of the most in demand global DJs of his generation, the one and only Steve Lawler.

Steve Lawler Dark & Percussive Techno was originally released in January 2011 on the Loopmasters label and is one of the first 50 Artist series sample packs in the industry. The collection remained in the sample chart for the longest time and has gone on to be one of the most crucial House & Techno releases on the label and is as relevant today as it was when it came out. To preserve its place in history Beatport Sounds have reformatted the original collection and are proud to bring it back to front of the stage, allowing the new generation of samplists to discover it.

Steve Lawler is a definitive DJ and producer; a tastemaker whose sets combine quality house music with the power to move dance floors around the world. In the last few years, he's ignited crowds in the world’s best clubs such as Zouk in Singapore, Space in Miami, Twilo in New York, Pacha in Buenos Aires and the mighty Space in Ibiza. Courtesy of home in the summer of 1999 and 2000, he provided the groundbreaking sets of the season for many of those lucky enough to hear him. After just two months he had been crowned 'King Of Space' by the locals - a rare and well-deserved honour.
