El Reyalto

about

Steve Chipman, aka El Reyalto, has been a fixture in the Los Angeles dance music community for years, first as a writer for several online publications covering the scene and more recently as a DJ. His love for house music stems from the years he spent in San Francisco during the creation of the scene there and more recently his move to LaLaLand. Known for an almost encyclopedic knowledge of dance music, Steve is often spotted out and about at most of the major club events, easily identifiable given his height (6'8") and his penchant for wearing a crown from time to time. In early 2004, Steve joined fellow rabid house fan Marc Gottlieb to create Sugar Ant Invasion. The duo crafts a distinctive sound from their love of house music with Marc favoring the dirty, tribal funk of East Coast house whereas Steve prefers the warm, Latin-tinged Balearic house. This range of house music influences allows the duo the luxury of getting the night started or driving some nasty groove until the early morning hours, taking clubbers with them as they invade dancefloors from coast to coast. Under his guise as guise at El Reyalto, Steve has been involved with friskyRadio pretty much since its inception. As the resident house DJ and all around gadfly to keep frisky from playing too much trance or prog. He also occasionally joins with fellow friskyRadio resident DJ Jonathan Wong for their Clash of the Titans sessions. www.elreyalto.com User-contributed text is available under the Creative
