"Most DJ worshipping trainspotters will tell you that the UK is the place for the birth of new genres but it seems our very own country can now lay claim to this feat. Toronto beat masher Stéphane Vera represents himself as an artist and (gasp) an entire sub-genre as Teknostep." (Chart Magazine)

PHILOSOPHY

"Always be yourself, express yourself, have faith in yourself, do not go out and look for a successful personality and duplicate it." (Bruce Lee)

"Every man's work, whether it is literature or music or pictures or architecture or anything else, is always a portrait of himself." (Samuel Butler)

"At a very young age, I realized, that music can not and should not be reduced to its entertainment factor, that it is not just acoustic decoration, but much more a very potent means of communication." (Andreas Vollenweider)
