BIOGRAPHY:
"Quality, forward-thinking dance" - music2 Juice Magazine.
"Particle was the stand-out track at our party during the Miami Winter Music Conference" - Dave Seaman.
"Stel & Good Newz Monsterous Progressive Mix for extra largeness!" - 3Beat Records
These are just a handful of the reviews the music of Stelios Vassiloudis has received around the world with his releases and remixes over the past 12 months and he has certainly made his mark on the underground house music scene and will continue to do so over the coming years.
Originating from Athens, music would seemingly have always been in his blood tinkering with a piano from the age of 4 before following a succession of musical development with live instruments from guitar through to the bass and on to drums with a little bit of trumpet thrown in for good measure before finally settling with computer software. All of this steadily nurtured his talent before he left to study a degree in Acoustics and Music in the UK, which led to him venturing into the club scene, which dominated the UK in the late 90's, and immersing himself in the electronic music scene. Drum N' Bass became his new passion and he quickly went about producing some of his own tracks and setting up a label to act as an outlet for his music. Once he had graduated he returned to Athens and threw himself into the vibrant club scene there and started to pick up Djing as well continuing his production work. It was during this time that he met with other producers on the local scene and so began his friendship with Vangelis Lambrakis and they quickly started the Stel & Good Newz production outfit.
A visit to a gig Dave Seaman was playing at and handing over a CD with a few tracks they had done quickly led to a record deal with Seaman's Audio Therapy label and meant an exclusive inclusion of the track 'Particle' on a Renaissance compilation he was due to mix. Audio Therapy promptly released Particle, which received some excellent reviews and was supported by pretty much all of the top DJ's and also featured on Paul Oakenfolds Cream compilation. The sudden recognition led to a whole host of remix offers and label enquiries for other material that they had to offer and quickly saw the pair working with Satoshi Tomiies Saw label, Armin van Buurens Armada label, Baroque, Swift and Athens based Planetworks label. All of this exposure has led to the duo's profile becoming synonymous with quality production and melodic sounds that appeal to the more trance orientated DJ's like Oakenfold and Buuren but still sit well with the more progressive sounding DJ's of Seaman, Tomiie and Sasha.
Stel has also found time to further his production career by starting a master's degree at New York University in Film Scoring to pursue other
opportunities and avenues for his music. The vibrant and abundant music scene in New York has also opened him to a whole host of new sounds and has been quite inspirational and given him the confidence to work on projects alone as well as with the many other talented producers he has met in the scene over there. Most of this work has been an excellent way of building his profile and has been consistently adding to his increasing repertoire, which has come along way in the past 12 months and has been highly regarded by labels, DJ's, record shops and press alike. He has also actively been furthering his Djing career playing alongside such luminaries as Hernan Cattaneo, G Pal, Tone Depth and of course Dave Seaman adding yet another bow to his burgeoning career potential
His relationship with Audio Therapy and Dave Seaman has also developed hand in hand since their first interest and has led to a further two follow up singles being signed and a succession of top remixes for the label as well as adding him to their exclusive artist management along with the likes of Dave Seaman, Infusion, Lexicon Avenue, Luke Chable and Phil K to name a few.
All this has happened quite quickly but is certainly very well deserved and with talk of an album project and collaborations with vocalists like Trafik's John Elliott from the Global Underground outfit as well as more high profile remixes the next 12 months might just proof to be even better.
Stel - Out Of Nowhere / Where I Belong is released on Audio Therapy on November 29th. His remix of Hip Service - Badaboom Badabing is available on Audio Therapy on November 8th.

NICK & JOHN DALAGELIS [NEW YORK, USA]
FADE / AUDIO THERAPY / BAROQUE / SWIFT / HIDDENFORM
SAW / MO-DO/ARMADA MUSIC
Born in Philadelphia – USA, and raised in Greece, the Brothers Nick and John Dalagelis had the first taste of electronic music in 1993. Drawing inspiration from numerous styles of electronic music (breaks, techno, experimental) and established artists and groups such as Orbital, F.S.O.L. and LFO both brothers began a vast record collection and together dj’ed at many underground parties.
Staying open minded, Nick and John found themselves carving the airwaves of radio stations in Greece from 1995 to 1999 expanding their DJ skills into electro breaks, experimental to drum & bass and trance. Their versatile sets helped shape what was known as Dalagelis Brother’s Sound!
And that was only the beginning of electronic journey of two brothers. Decision to take the challenge even further, John entered the 1998 DMC Championship in Greece. Against the odds, John scratched and cut up Fourth Place, adding to this decisive award he has also picked up Star of the Night and Best Young DJ. The DMC momentum helped John secure the DJ position with well-established live act - Universal Trilogy. John’s turntable skills were incorporated into the band’s electro-fused tech with drum & bass and live vocals. Touring through Europe with Universal Trilogy, John suddenly found himself opening for Orbital on the Two-City Electron Festival 2000, performing in the front of over thousands of people. As if this man's rap sheet wasn't long enough, he also graduated as a sound engineer from the French Institute of Pasteur and worked for Benzoil Studio (owned by Universal Trilogy & Xaxakes).
Nick has been a fan of music all his life but never took this as a profession until four years ago. From the point when Nick moved into the studio with John, he’s been focusing more on composing the music and pushing the creative boundaries of new sounds. Nick spends many countless hours in the studio, perfecting the art of the Dalagelis sound.
Now both based in New York, Nick and John are working for Fade records and Chris Fortier. They have also created the DALASOUNDS Studio where they have been producing original music together for the last years. Focusing on progressive-tech grooves and break beat, Nick and John’s production style can be best described as a combination of lush atmospheric sound scapes along driving basslines and hypnotic percussive rhythms.
