POLITEK: ISLAND Thanks so much for your support this year, it really does mean a lot. It's been a crazy one, here's hoping we can see it out with a friendly bang! Wishing you all a wonderful Christmas & a peaceful start to 2026. See you on the other side. STEVE open.spotify.com/track/1Na1r7...

POLITEK: ISLAND I held it back to ride the wave of Christmas parties, late nights and last-minute shopping chaos. It’s a euphoric, head-in-the-clouds rush that lifts you way up. There’s an instrumental version for those of you who prefer your beats straight-up. open.spotify.com/track/1Na1r7...

POLITEK: ISLAND It kicked off the burst of writing, producing and releasing that’s shaped my year, and it still feels special to me ISLAND is built for the dance floor. open.spotify.com/track/1Na1r7...

POLITEK: ISLAND Hi everyone — hope you’re enjoying the run-up to Christmas. Today I’m putting out my final release of 2025, and it’s a proper banger! ISLAND was the first Trance track I wrote as POLITEK, way back in early summer. open.spotify.com/track/1Na1r7...

'The Chimes of Christmas' is a haunting evocation of Christmas past and present written on the old piano in my parents' house in South London, with extra guitar and synth parts recorded back at home in Brighton. I hope it will put you in the festive mood. open.spotify.com/track/68iCxA...

Dubstar at 30: WEEK IN WEEK OUT Jesmond Demo Hear one of the very first Dubstar recordings, and discover where that snare sound came from. You do want to know where that snare sound came from, right? 3/4 www.stevehillier.net/dubstar-25/wiwo

Dubstar at 30: WEEK IN WEEK OUT Jesmond Demo One of those happy accidents where the glue between the parts becomes the magic. A small moment in a chilly Tyneside flat. A future track six being quietly born 2/4 www.stevehillier.net/dubstar-25/wiwo

Dubstar at 30: WEEK IN WEEK OUT Jesmond Demo Week In Week Out - the great Dubstar collage. A verse drafted in a different band, a chorus scribbled on the back of a school note book, a pinch of poetry, a beat from somewhere else, suddenly it worked. 1/4 www.stevehillier.net/dubstar-25/wiwo
