It was the aforementioned bootleg of Route 94's 'My Love' that announced his arrival, reaching over 2.2 million plays on Soundcloud following its release back in 2013 and kick-starting a musical revolution with Low Steppa very much as its forefront. The track received so much hype that Route 94 replaced his own version within club sets, and was an early benchmark of quality, with Low Steppa's music now a regular feature on the UK's favourite radio shows including Kiss FM, Capital and BBC Radio 1 Xtra.
Notable productions that followed include his all-conquering remix of Sonny Fodera 'Always Gonna Be' and a rework of Hardrive's 'Deep Inside', which was picked up by legendary dance label Strictly Rhythm and hit No.1 on Traxsource within the first week of release.
One of the many successes of Low Steppa's career to date has been Simma Black - a label that has risen through the ranks to be one of the most respected imprints around, regularly dominating the Beatport and Traxsource charts with singles from a wide variety of acclaimed producers and rising stars in the making.
The 100th release on the label was 'Karma', a record he produced with acclaimed singer/songwriter Alex Mills on vocals, and one that lead to both label of the month and an artist of the month awards from Beetport in summer 2017.
Outside of the studio, Low Steppa has already performed at landmark gigs including Radio 1's Big Weekend Opening Party and EDC Las Vegas. However it is his assocation with legendary house label Defected that has really stepped up a gear. In 2017 alone he performed at seven of the Defected In The House Ibiza residencies at Eden, with his back-to-back sets alongside Sonny Fodera among the most celebrated of the season.
Already planned for the 2018 is a huge tour of the US, taking in some of the very finest clubs in the country, exact details of which will be announced late 2017.
You can hear Low Steppa on UK radio station Rinse FM for his resident show every third Friday of the month from 1-3am.
Ricochet
Low Steppa Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Happy sitting here and letting sad songs play,
I don’t feel the same,
But I bounce right back like a ricochet
She just wanna have it her way,
Been packing my bags like a runaway
I can’t even say,
She got nothing to hide, she tells me all these little lies,
Ain’t got time on my side, so I just wanna take a ride,
But I don’t even know where I am going, I’m going
'Cause every time I come right back again,
'Cause I can’t seem to let you go
She don’t ever wanna go away,
Happy sitting here and letting sad songs play,
I don’t feel the same,
But I bounce right back like a ricochet
She just wanna have it her way,
Been packing my bags like a runaway
I can’t even say,
Why I bounce right back like a ricochet
Said are we drifting away,
From each other, every day
And she got nothing to say,
So I don’t think that I can stay,
But I don’t even know where I am going, I’m going
'Cause every time I come right back again,
'Cause I can’t seem to let you go.
She don’t ever wanna go away,
Happy sitting here and letting sad songs play,
I don’t feel the same,
But I bounce right back like a ricochet
She just wanna have it her way,
Been packing my bags like a runaway
I can’t even say,
Why I bounce right back like a ricochet

The first verse portrays the singer's frustration with their partner's reluctance to leave, as they seem content to stay and listen to sad songs. Despite not feeling the same way, the singer bounces back like a ricochet, indicating that they keep coming back to the relationship regardless of their conflicting emotions.
The second verse highlights the partner's desire to have things go their way, causing the singer to pack their bags like a runaway. Their inability to explain why they keep returning to the relationship mirrors the unpredictable nature of a ricochet. The partner is portrayed as someone who hides things and tells small lies while the singer is just looking for an escape from their current situation.
The chorus reiterates the singer's confusion and inability to let go. They don't feel the same about the relationship, yet they continue to bounce back like a ricochet. The bridge introduces a sense of drifting apart from one another and the lack of communication between them. The decision to leave becomes apparent, but the singer is still uncertain about their destination. They keep coming back, even though they can't seem to let go.
Overall, "Ricochet" delves into the contradictory emotions and dynamics within a troubled relationship. It explores the push and pull between two individuals and the struggle to break free from a situation they don't feel content in.

She don’t ever wanna go away
She has no desire to leave or separate
Happy sitting here and letting sad songs play
She finds comfort in staying here, even though sad music is playing
I don’t feel the same
I don't share the same feelings or sentiments
But I bounce right back like a ricochet
But I quickly recover or return to my original state, like a ricocheting object
She just wanna have it her way
She simply wants things to go according to her preferences
Been packing my bags like a runaway
I have been preparing to leave hastily, like a runaway
I can’t even say
I am unable to express or articulate
Why I bounce right back like a ricochet
The reason why I quickly recover or return like a ricochet is unknown
She got nothing to hide, she tells me all these little lies
She has no hidden secrets and openly shares small falsehoods with me
Ain’t got time on my side, so I just wanna take a ride
I don't have enough time in my favor, so I simply want to go on a journey or adventure
But I don’t even know where I am going, I’m going
However, I am uncertain or unaware of the destination that I am heading towards
'Cause every time I come right back again
Because every time, I return or come back once more
'Cause I can’t seem to let you go
Because I am unable to detach from you or move on
Said are we drifting away
Expressing doubts about whether we are moving apart from each other
From each other, every day
The distance between us is increasing with each passing day
And she got nothing to say
She has no words or thoughts to share
So I don’t think that I can stay
Therefore, I believe I cannot remain or continue in this situation
