Stephen Schroeder on SoundBetter

Industry veteran with over 20 years experience in mixing, mastering, production and engineering.

With a dance music career spanning 25 years, SCHROEDS brings his distinct flair to a fresh cohort of music enthusiasts. Commencing his journey in 1995 as a house music DJ in Cincinnati at 16, he rapidly showcased his adeptness. Taking the opener slot at the renowned Lift club, he shared the spotlight with luminaries like Felix the Housecat, Todd Terry, and Moodyman.

His passion for dance music swiftly kindled his interest in production, leading him to collaborate with high school comrade Jeremy Zunk to create a live electronic performance. The duo, known as "LP," secured a record deal with Moonshine Records in 2001, unveiling a series of 12" singles.

In 2002, together with Taylor Pakula, the trio solidified their presence in the Southwest rave scene, captivating audiences with dynamic live shows and DJ sets, sharing stages with artists like Rabbit in the Moon and DJ Magic Mike.

Relocating to Los Angeles in 2005, SCHROEDS promptly engaged in production work for luminaries Paul Oakenfold and Adam Freeland. Under the alias "The Fraction," he delivered multiple singles on Perfecto during the late 2000s.
