DJ Step makes “Back in Red” video for 2016 Chicago Fire

Share

If you've been to Toyota Park for a Chicago Fire match recently, you're familiar with some of Benjamin Stepnowski's work.

Stepnowski, better known as DJ Step, selects the music at Toyota Park on Fire matchdays. 

On Monday he released a mix video for the Fire's 2016 season. The "Back in Red" theme is inspired by the club's return to a red home jersey with a white stripe.

"This project was inspired by the first team's return to the classic red and white stripe kit this year that was synonymous with the teams early history and kit culture," he said. "While we’ve remained in some type of iteration of red since the beginning of the club’s history, I felt like it was important to recognize the launch this year as an initiative that supporters really pushed for and campaigned with the front office. This is my salute to them and passion they bring to every match."

The video opens with some AC/DC "Back in Black" and also features samples from The White Stripes' "Seven Nation Army" and "Roses" by The Chainsmokers.

He also made a video for 2015, which is available here.
