[squarebear]

When I first started making music I couldn't think of a name for myself so I came up with DJ Stevoid as everyone at the time had DJ in his or her name and my real name is Steve. A friend later told me that the name sounded a little stupid so I shortened it to DJ Void. I stuck with that for a year or two then one of my friends suggested that I drop the DJ part. I didn't fancy just being called Void as it sounded empty and black, so I tried to think of a new name.

I was sat in my local bar one night, trying to think of a new name and I was struggling so I asked my friend for advice. We thought it would be funny if the DJ turned up to play his set with an anorak, big thick glasses and his records in a plastic carrier bag, totally different from the usual DJ characters. That's where the square part came from, I just added bear to make it rhyme. My friends liked it, as did I, so I kept that name.
