Sterbinszky


DJ sTERBInszky is a Hungarian DJ.
Sterbinszky got his start at age 16 becoming resident DJ of several small clubs. Five years later he won the Hungarian Disco Mix Club Competition of 1993. Proving his technical proficiency behind the turntables, the award earned him wider recognition and new opportunities within the Hungarian club entertainment industry. Aside from regular performances at a number of high-profile venues, he also promoted and organized major club events such as SkyLight and Hype Holiday House.
Late 1998 saw the release of his acclaimed debut recording, a dance mix compilation of club favorites titled, Hits Form Club E-Play. The album’s breakthrough success - partly due to an effective promotional marketing campaign - garnered him nationwide following, establishing Sterbinszky as a professional recording artist, producer and performer at the forefront of Hungary’s dance club industry. Media heralding Sterbinszky as the nation’s first “star DJ”, a number of successful tours followed with sold-out performances and various organized party events at popular club venues.
With a continuing effort to keep the Hungarian club scene up to date, Sterbinszky regularly made routine trips to browse London's record shops. This allowed him to be among the first to consistently showcase newly emerging artists, tracks and mixes as well as to familiarize Hungarian clubgoers with the latest trends in house and trance music form Western Europe. For the next 7 years he’d release a series of house/trance mix compilations – featuring standout tracks already part of his DJ repertoire - on a semiannual basis with each subsequent album indicating a slight progression of sound while, more or less, still remaining within the confines of their respective genres. Though never straying far from his funky/disco house roots, his 2002 Palace mix compilations, however signaled a departure into less commercial domains of deep, progressive house.
The turn of the millennium marked a more prolific phase is Sterbinszky’s career whereby he began producing original compositions on vinyl singles, EP’s as well as releasing several remixes. As a result, in 2000 and 2001 he released his first two solo albums titled, Discography and Gates of Mind, respectively. The title track of the latter also gained Sterbinszky moderate international exposure by its entry on the Billboard Dance charts. Having received an invitation from DJ Carl Cox, Sterbinszky had the opportunity to perform at Ibiza’s prestigious Space superclub in 2004.
In 2006, Sterbinszky started a musical collaboration with Hungarian producer/remixer Gábor Boros under the alias Sequence 11.
