Up next in our 10th anniversary series, a return that feels like a first meeting.

Andrew James Gustav was among our earliest international bookings, part of the foundation that pointed us toward everything these years would become. Then came a long hiatus of eight or nine years. We stayed in touch through the quiet stretch, a message here, a word there, holding a place for him should he ever feel ready to play again. That day has come, and we are ready to receive him.

Much has changed for all of us since his last night with us. We have grown artistically and personally, and so has he. There is a rare satisfaction in meeting someone again on the far side of that growth, recognizing the person you knew while discovering who they have become.

In tandem with our trusted collaborators @steep_______ , we round out the night with Zella, who joins our resident Frank Paper in support.

Sojourn ICA Afterparty: Kaierchen & Zella

After the sun sets on a residents rendevouz at the ICA, we continue our Friday night under the guidance of two captivating selectors from our likeminded family at Steep: Kaierchen & Zella.

Kaierchen’s background as a professional violist directly informs her approach to DJing. Serious and meticulous, but never emotionally detached, her finely tuned craft is the result of countless hours spent in the shadows, always in pursuit of records that evoke both surrender and introspection.

In the closing hours, Zella steps up to our booth. His selections breathe with a delicious palette of sounds. Coloring in the corners of an imaginative dancefloor, the heartbeat of the decades past are given new life in his hands. Blending many styles from the 80s and 90s: from industrial, synth-pop and electro to acid, house and techno, he stands out as a singular voice in our city’s underground.

Join us for our last outing of the summer season. The location of the after-party will only be shared with ticket holders via email. Tickets can be found at the link in our bio or via the RA.

See you on the other side of the river soon ;) by @zella__________

Steep returns to a private tea house loft for a night centered around music, dancing and deeper listening.

For those that made it to our first edition at this beautiful space, you know how special it is to be dancing as the sun creeps through the windows in the morning.

For this one we are excited to welcome on local favorite and Spin the Bottle co-founder, Patchwork. She shares our love for the sounds of the 80’s and 90’s and is a vibrant presence in nightlife here. We’re thrilled to have her set the tone for the evening and hear her disco, house and electro selections!

Sets from Rohan (LIVE) and Zella will follow and a special ~5 hour closing from Cutty.

Limited capacity — email steepbookings@gmail.com to RSVP

Celebrating two years of steep this Saturday!!

I am over the moon excited for it…if you get emails from us you’ll see I’ve already written too much about it so I’ll keep it brief here 😅

The past two years have meant so much to me. I want to extend a heartfelt thank you to everyone that has contributed to our parties. I feel incredibly lucky to be a part of such a sweet community 🫶

Jorge Escribano is our first international guest since hicham in September. I have full faith that he’ll narrate quite the rave-y journey for us. I’ll be setting the stage for the first chapter of the evening. Going to be a special night, I can’t wait to see everyone!

Our last couple of parties have sold out, so I encourage everyone to grab a presale if they plan on joining! Drop me a message or email steepbookings@gmail.com to do so! by @zella__________

Our first party of 2026! We have a lot to celebrate for this one— a new resident and Cutty’s birthday!

Join us in welcoming Rohan to the team. A multi-instrumentalist, lifelong musician and producer, Rohan improvises house music live. Playing the bass, guitar, drum machines and synths, his sets are dynamic and reflect a DJ’s flexibility, able to adapt to the dance floor in front of him. We’ve seem him play with peak time energy in the throes of a storm and with a calming finesse coming down from a rave in the woods. This kind of nuanced flexibility and improvisation within a live set struck a chord with us, we think it’ll resonate with you too!

Kicking the party off, we have Wiersma. Fresh off his label launch this fall and one of our city’s most devoted producers and DJs, we’re excited to hear what he brings for the occasion.

Rohan takes over after, guitar in hand, machines at the ready and some new pedals to debut. Get ready to rock!

Back to the turntables, Zella will have a bag of goodies packed. Psychedelic, silly, twisted, groovy, we’ll see where he goes…

And rounding out the evening, Cutty will bring his signature late night jams. Slinky tech house, tripped out head bobbers, bass-lines that hug you and…frogs?

If you are interested in attending please email steepbookings@gmail.com.

Steep has zero tolerance for harassment of any form.
