Steve Rachmad will celebrate 45 years in music throughout 2026 with a series of releases, catalogue reissues, and international performances. The Amsterdam-based artist’s program includes new material, a full Bandcamp rollout, and a global tour spanning multiple aliases.
The campaign features new music on Dekmantel, Kynant, and TECHNO Records, including Rachmad’s first album in 20 years, set to arrive on Dekmantel this summer.
In parallel, Rachmad will make his back catalogue gradually available on Bandcamp, offering access to decades of work released under aliases such as Sterac, Parallel 9, and Sterac Electronics. Official merchandise tied to these projects will also be released for the first time.
A worldwide tour will run throughout the year, with performances under Steve Rachmad, Sterac, Sterac Electronics, and Parallel 9. Among the announced highlights is a dedicated celebration event on April 18th at Amsterdam’s Tillatec, where Rachmad will perform two sets focused on different phases of his output.

Active since 1981, Rachmad has built a catalog spanning techno, house, and experimental electronic music, maintaining a consistent presence across generations of DJs and listeners.
