Chus has also played guest spots in a lot of countries all over the globe: Russia, Colombia, Israel, Eastern Europe, UK and USA. His sets always include Latin and Afro-tribal elements as well as percussions galor

  David Penn, owner of Zen Records, was the first person to believe in Chus as a producers and together they released Kadoc’s "The Night Train" and Dj Chus’ "Kapital of House" in 1993 / 1994. In 2001 Chus and his partners Pablo Cevallos and Carlos Calico launched their own label Stereo Productions.

Stereo’ was born in August’99 as a dance event promoter (with a weekly residence every Wednesday during the summertime in KADOC club) by the hand of Chus L. Esteban and Carlos Calico up till then owner of de DJA (deejay agency and management) established in the Portuguese Algarve and who usually worked with artist like John Acquaviva, Danny ‘Buddha’ Morales, Bini & Martini, Dj Spen, Luke Solomon, Miles Holloway, Ben Davis, Alan Russel, Kenny Hawkes, Chris Liebing, Thomas Krome, Funk d’Void, Space dj’s… 

  In July’99 Chus decided to change the place and the activity. ‘STEREO’ was moved to Madrid and with Pablo Ceballos ‘STEREO productions’ was formed as a company, which his principal aim was the musical productions, leaving the events organisation. During this early phase important productions such as ‘Voices of Savannah’ from The Latin Lovers (Boo records UK), ‘Sunshine’ from Dj Chus & David Penn (Black Vinyl records UK), “So Good” de Groove Foundation (Beat Freak recordings Spain) and ‘Free my soul’ from Dj Chus vs. Oscar de Rivera (Uncle P music / Siesta USA) born in ‘Stereo Productions’
