Spenda C

In 2016 Spenda C, aka Steve Lind, lived up to his reputation as one of Australia’s hardest working DJs by traversing the country with a 26 stop tour. Despite this busy touring schedule he has continued to toil away in the studio producing new singles, remixes and even an upcoming album.

On ANZAC Day eve Spenda C will return to Sydney to complete his latest tour celebrating his new single Release ft. Cult Shøtta.

“These shows have been wild and crazy. There’s been stage diving, hanging off ceilings and lots of crazy shit” said Lind, “We’re building all of the momentum towards the Sydney show, we’re going to have lots of guests and leave nothing in the tank for that one.”

Throughout his life Spenda C has been involved in a number of different musical endeavours ranging from punk bands to DJing house parties to his 10 year residency at the esteemed Chinese Laundry and producing his own music.

Most recently Spenda C has been nearing the end of a 12 month production process for his upcoming album.

“I don’t even know what close to the end means anymore. I’m just trying to polish and finesse everything to have it finished by the end of April for a July or August release but the  last ten percent is 90 percent of the struggle.”

Much like all of his previous releases Spenda C explained that the album will be filled with a diverse selection of styles. “It has that party vibe and energy going through every track but there are a lot of different tempos. There’s a bit of trap, twerk, New Orleans bounce and even some house.” Spenda C has also welcomed aboard a number of guest vocalists for the album because he feels they “give the tracks something interesting and an added energy.”

With an album already on his plate we might expect Spenda C to take it easy for a while. That’s just not his style though as he already has tracks simmering away for later in the year following his recent US trip to work with Fly Boi Keno.

Any aspiring music producers should take note of Spenda C’s work ethic, this is the formula for success.
