Steve Duda is an American DJ, record producer, audio engineer, manager and software engineer from Menlo Park, California. He is best known for his mid-2000s collaborative electronic music projects with Canadian record producer and DJ deadmau5 under the names "BSOD" and "WTF?" (also with DJ Aero and Tommy Lee), and owning the record label and digital music software company Xfer Records. He is more recently known for creating the widely used award-winning VST plugin Serum.
Duda studied music composition at the University of California, Santa Cruz. He later became a member of the Santa Cruz rock bands named The Brothers of Other and Razorface. He later left the bands, and went on to work for the American technology company AVID.
In 1997, Duda left Santa Cruz to become an engineer and programmer for the American industrial rock band Nine Inch Nails, for which he was a programmer and multi-instrumentalist and vocalist on their third studio album The Fragile.
In 1999, Duda moved to Los Angeles to further pursue a career in music.
In 2005, Duda and Canadian record producer Joel Zimmerman (deadmau5) formed the electro house group BSOD and released their debut single "This Is The Hook" a year later. The song topped the Beatport Top 100 chart, and went on to feature on deadmau5's 2008 compilation album At Play. Later that year, the group self-released their debut album titled Play Here To Click.
