In 2004, long-time studio partners, Steve Baltes of Germany and Dyloot of San Francisco teamed up to form DEEP VOICES. 
Together in a Trans-Atlantic partnership, they have united their styles and continue to captivate listeners with their own blend of deep and melodic trance.

Their first album released in 2005, “Incoming Transmission” marked a notable shift in their musical trajectory, delivering an array of releases on international labels and a number of tracks that topped the Dutch, Swiss and UK charts.  Deep Voices continues to elevate themselves, producing releases landing on major labels and play-lists of top A-List DJ’s.

Their album “The Blue Hour” was released in 2006 and will be followed by their 3rd artist album “More Than Air”. This latest album is due to be released this winter by Cloud9music, which is part of renowned Armada Music Group. With their charismatic stage presence, Dyloot & Steve Baltes lure their listeners into a dancing abyss of euphoric and abstract trance. Deep Voices offers a highly magnetic and uplifting performance to any crowd.
