Electronic producer and DJ Steller has dropped her new EP Here & Now, a self-contained snapshot of personal growth, sonic transformation, and artistic independence. Out an independent release, the EP closely follows the completion of her first headline tour, a coast-to-coast run with stops at major festivals like EDC Las Vegas and Forbidden Kingdom.
The Here & Now EP was written during a creative shift sparked by internal challenges and a need to reconnect with the present. Built around themes of presence and emotional release, the four-track project moves fluidly between introspective ambience and high-impact bass.
The opening track, “Here & Now,” sets the tone with its slow-building energy and hypnotic vocal loops before opening into a bass-heavy drop. Steller created this track to anchor her live set with a sense of immediacy and connection. Once that track was finished, she explains, the rest of the project came together quickly.
“Downslide,” produced in collaboration with dubstep talent Seth David, delivers an energetic one-two punch of contrasting drops that highlight both artists’ strengths. Steller recalls how naturally the song took shape after David sent an early idea that she quickly expanded into a full arrangement.
One of the most emotionally direct tracks on the EP, “Down With You,” offers a change in tone. Built around stripped-down grooves and layered melodies, it captures a heavier headspace and allows space for emotional processing.
“Eternal Love” rounds out the project with an ambient finale grounded in swelling chords and dreamy textures. Steller describes the process behind this song as a turning point where she felt true creative release.
While her current tour has now wrapped, additional live shows are on the horizon. The Here & Now EP represents a clear evolution for Steller and a deeper connection between her personal story and musical output.

Raised in upstate New York, I was always a big fan of music but never really listened to electronic music. Within the first month of attending Florida State University and meeting some new friends, I was introduced to the rave scene. After seeing Ekali at my first show, I was instantly hooked. Since then, I have dived into every subgenre of electronic music, picked up DJing, and mixed for clubs and different entertainment events in Tallahassee. Once graduating with degrees in marketing and hospitality, I was hired for a sales position. However, I recently decided to leave my sales job to pursue my dream of working in the music industry. Currently, I run Magnetic Magazine's Melodic Techno Charts, along with my role as a PR and marketing specialist for different artists and labels. Some of my favorite artists are REZZ, Kyle Watson, TOBEHONEST, San Pacho, Josh Baker, HUGEL, ARTBAT, Vintage Culture, Ganja White Night, CamelPhat, Green Velvet, Jungle, Milky Chance, Paco Versailles, Franc Moody, and RÜFUS DU SOL. My favorite festivals are Hulaween (by far), EDC Orlando, and all the different venues during Miami Music Week. Outside of music, I love sports (especially hockey, soccer, tennis, basketball, and spike ball), going to the movies, working out, sushi, Chick-fil-A, food in general, and hanging with my dog Maui and my cat Loki. Feel free to reach out to me via my email or on IG, I love expanding my network of friends and business opportunities!
