His thunderous single 'Pegasus' on Franky Wah's SHÈN imprint signals a bold creative resurgence, while his remix of Tom Crane's 'Open Your Eyes' (out 4th July on Steve's label VIVa MUSiC with rising duo WAHM) taps into indie dance flavours with trademark depth and energy.
His long-awaited return, including the launch of his PENDULUM event series spanning Miami, New York, London and Mexico, is a powerful reminder of his continued influence on global dance culture. Tickets for the E1 London show are available at RA Tickets.
We caught up with Steve this week and he's put together a playlist of 10 tunes that illustrate the soundtrack of PENDULUM.
Franky Wah - Sundown ft. Kuuda (Terrace Mix) (SHÈN Recordings)
Franky's label SHÈN Recordings is always a go to for good tracks . Everything is always top level and this particular track always goes down perfectly at a PENDULUM event.
Adriatique, Samm, Jaimes - Back To Life (X Recordings)
Such a hypnotizing track with a beautiful groove. It's perfect to really grab a crowd in the middle of the night.
unfazed - A Gira (SPINNIN' DEEP)
There's a great percussion to this track that really brings the vibe to build the momentum and kick off a night.
Everything Is Art & Who Made Who - All The Love (The Moment)
This track comes from two artists I've been really enjoying their productions over the last few years, and this collaboration just nails any hand-raising and beautiful moment which is key to any PENDULUM event.
Yamil, Da Mike - Funny Man (Magnifik Music)
Another great collaborative track from two great artists - drop this in the middle of a night and just watch any dancefloor go wild :)
Jazzy, KILIMANJIRO - No Bad Vibes (Chaos)
A beautiful track that is almost a guarantee in most PENDULUM events, just beautiful lyrics and vocals across such a catchy beat.
Jamek Ortega - Dunes (WE'RE HERE)
Tribal, hypnotising, and full of energy, this track is another favourite of mine to really get dancefloors switched on and moving. Love it!
Kalyma - Sacrosanct (SOLIDE)
An older track but another vocal that really gets all crowds switched on, and perfect for the dead of night when you want arms in the air and people zoned in.
Alan Dixon x mOat x Tom Diesel - The Underground (Extended Mix) [DFTD]
With a vocal snippet from the classic 'The Underground' track from DJ Vibe, this track is a recent belter from DFTD that is a real dancefloor heavyweight and a real new favourite of mine.
RE/MIND - 1995 (Calamar Records)
A PENDULUM classic and one that you are sure to also hear at future events. Such a great afro-house record and brilliantly addictive to the groove and percussion. Amazing production.

Nuno Borges dons black ribbon as Jota tribute after football top request denied
Instead he wore a black ribbon pinned to his hat during Friday's third-round defeat against Karen Khachanov, but said his team had initially pushed for a more visible tribute. 'I know Wimbledon is usually not very flexible with attire,' Borges told the PA news agency. 'But I was told we could still do something to pay our respects for what happened, so I think it was a nice gesture. 'He was a great footballer. It was a tragedy.' Borges, who lost a five-set thriller to the 17th seed, said his agent contacted Wimbledon about the idea of wearing a Portugal shirt, and even tried to source a white version to comply with dress rules, but it was not approved. 'We initially talked about getting a full jersey to walk on court,' he said. 'I even tried to find one in white, but it was turned down, so we ended up doing something a little smaller.' Asked if Wimbledon should have allowed the shirt, he said: 'I think that's what makes Wimbledon special and different from every other slam, so I really don't know.' Wimbledon relaxed its 148-year-old dress code in light of Jota's death, allowing players to wear black ribbons or armbands. Borges was among several players who did, including fellow Portuguese doubles player Francisco Cabral. Cabral, who wore a ribbon on his shirt sleeve during a doubles match with Lucas Miedler, said: 'Yesterday the idea of wearing a black strap came up – that was not allowed. 'I asked for permission to use the black ribbon and they let me play with it.' He described it as 'an honour', adding: 'It was not for the best reason – he was an inspiration not only for me but for the country in general. 'He made so much in the sport and conquered so much in my life. If I helped 1% for the family I will be super happy.' Cabral and Miedler lost their second-round match in straight sets to Czech pair Petr Nouza and Patrik Rikl. Wimbledon's dress code has long restricted visible colour on court, and tributes are rarely granted. The gesture marked a rare moment of flexibility from organisers, after the deaths of Jota and his brother Andre Silva, who were killed in Spain while travelling to catch a ferry to England. British doubles player and Liverpool fan Neal Skupski had also taken a black armband for his match on Thursday, but opted not to wear it after learning of the death of his grandmother shortly after coming off court. He said he may wear one 'in the next couple of days'.

Oasis reunite: Danny Dyer, Vicky McClure and more stars spotted at first gig in 16 years
Oasis reunite: Danny Dyer, Vicky McClure and more stars spotted at first gig in 16 years Oasis reunited on stage in Cardiff for the first time in 16 years, with a crowd of celebs spotted in the audience. It has been over a decade since Noel and Liam Gallagher performed with one another (Image: JAMES CURLEY AND MAGICMOMENTSUK ) A host of celebrity faces have gathered in the audience as Oasis reunites following a 16-year hiatus. This evening's performance in Cardiff represents more than a decade since the Gallagher brothers, Noel and Liam, shared a stage together. The group made their entrance to 'F**king in the Bushes' before launching into their opening number 'Hello'. The packed venue erupted in applause to welcome back the legendary band. Among those in attendance were EastEnders favourite Danny Dyer and Line Of Duty star Vicky McClure. Television presenter Vernon Kay was also photographed outside the Principality Stadium. Liam addressed the enthusiastic crowd, saying: "Hey, beautiful people, it's been too long," with notable attendees including Glastonbury founder Emily Eavis, Dominic Mohan, and Andy Goldstein. Oasis gig thrown into chaos as fan rushed out on stretcher after medical emergency READ MORE: Noel Gallagher overcome with emotion as Oasis perform first concert in 16 years READ MORE: For live coverage of the Oasis tour, click here to follow the Mirror's updates, reports the Mirror. The Mirror can exclusively confirm that Meg Mathews - Noel's former spouse - was also present at the concert. Their daughter Anais was likewise spotted at the venue. Article continues below Earlier in the day, Meg posted several photographs of herself with Noel, captioning them: "TODAY IS THE DAY 4th July 2025 Finally here ....OASIS REUNION TOUR, Britpop was a British music and cultural movement that peaked in the mid-1990s, characterized by a revival of British guitar pop from the 1960s and 1970s, in contrast to American grunge. "It was not just a genre, but a reactionary and patriotic cultural response, celebrating British identity, working-class roots, and everyday life. To everyone who's there when they walk on the stage at 8.15pm will be a piece of history." Reflecting on the photograph, she continued: "That night was a lot of fun can't remember what after party gig it was .. back then there was always one which I was in charge of organising through @creationrecords money and fun had no limit back then." Meg recently found herself having to refute rumours of a reconciliation after sharing images of them embracing. Speaking to the Irish Mirror in 2020, Meg revealed she previously suffered from severe PTSD. She explained: "I came through the marriage. Everything was public. At the end of the day I did not have the cog or the PR world that that person (Noel) had. "I was just the ex-wife. I had nobody. I didn't know what to do. I didn't have a press agent, wasn't famous, I just had a daughter. I used to get terrible PTSD. In 1997 I was the third most written about woman. It was Lady Diana, The Spice Girls and me." Article continues below For supporters still hoping to secure last-minute passes to Oasis' comeback performances, the group are preparing to make available a handful of remaining tickets. According to their announcement: "As the shows are getting closer, Oasis promoters may be able to release a very limited number of additional tickets for sale once final sight lines are checked and the production is fine tuned. These final production releases will happen over the coming days."
