Estuera
Real Name:Jonas Steur Profile:Jonas Steur , born in 1982 in the belgian village Hamont-Achel, was already interested in music since he was very young. Influenced by the classical music of his mother and the 70's progressive rock of his father he got a taste for both beautifull melodic and electronic music. After messing arround with cheap little casio keyboards and old equipment from his dad, at age 15 he bought himself a mixer and some turntables with his little savings. After a while his dj hobby revived his interest in creating music himself so he started messing arround again. When he was 17 he signed his first track (Silvertear - So deep) to the belgian label A&S , this was a coproduction with producers Pascal Schutters, Roeland Tijskens and Christophe Chantzis (Absolom, Dj Jan-Xsanto, Ian van dahl...) and Erik Vanspauwen (Ian van dahl). After doing a track for the first Ian van dahl album (A.C.E., Tomorrow) he started looking for a better place to go with his music and at the end of 2003 he signed the first Estuera tracks (Travels/ 7 clouds) to Tiesto's Black hole recordings. After that things started to move really fast. The project 'Estuera' is getting really succesfull with already several tracks signed to Tiesto's personal label magik muzik, joining the ranks of Mojado, Mark Norman, Fred Baker and such. Estuera - Tales from the south never left Tiesto's record box since the man got it, playing it almost everywhere he went. Also the project 'Propylon' is signed on black hole's legendary In trance we trust sublabel. With tracks played by Tiesto, Armin, Ferry + a lot of the other big trance jocks and making remixes for Dj Ton TB, Re:locate and Fabbx, Jonas' producing carreer is really exploding. Jonas is also focussing on his dj carreer again, playing relaxed as well as the more energetic techy tracks. Blending his own producing style with his taste for grooves and melodies.
