Steve Huerta

Steve Huerta, who now releases music as Huerta, is a California-born producer and DJ based in Berlin. He emerged in 2012 with releases on Amadeus Records, a label he helped establish, and gained wider attention through collaborations with fellow Californian producer Urulu. Their “Things I Didn’t Mean” EP for Dirt Crew Recordings became a notable deep-house release, reaching the upper end of Beatport’s chart and receiving extensive DJ and media support.

Huerta’s work draws on house music’s classic foundations while adding a polished, contemporary finish. His productions have appeared on labels including Dirt Crew, Let’s Play House, SlapFunk, Slow Life and Small Hours. In 2020 he launched Leizure, his own imprint, and released the album Junipero. Since relocating from Los Angeles to Berlin, he has developed a sound that moves between dancefloor grooves and more contemplative, atmospheric music, extending his practice beyond conventional club formats.
