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 and 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 DJs and also featured on Paul Oakenfold's 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 Tomiie's SAW label, Armin Van Buuren's Armada label, Baroque, G.Pal's Swift Records 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 DJs like Oakenfold and Buuren but still sit well with the more progressive sounding DJs of Seaman, Tomiie and Sasha.

Stel has also found time to further his production career by starting a Masters 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, DJs, 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 three follow up singles and a collaboration with vocalist John Elliott from the Global Underground outfit Trafik being signed and a succession of top remixes for the label. Therapy also added 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.

2005 saw a release on Armin Van BuurenÕs Armada label which featured on his State Of Trance compilation and his recent remix of Kosmas Epsilons ÔInnocent ThoughtsÕ which was one of the stand out tracks on SashaÕs Fundacion Global Underground CD. The inclusion of a specially written track for the Audio Therapy presents Across Borders series featuring some of the hottest production talent coming out of Greece will also fully establish his name in his native homeland along with ÔNightmareÕ the follow up with partner Viton to the massive ÔWooden SwordzÕ. In the midst of a return to Greece to tour with Dave Seaman as part of the Across Borders Cd album promotion which has taken in gigs across Athens, Thessaloniki, Katerini and Rhodes. After the summer Stel returned back to New York to his home studio working on remixes of Infusions Ð Natural / Love and Imitation for Sony BMG , teaming up with Pole Folder on the 'Inner Turmoil' remix for Bedrock as well as Surreal the collaboration with Trafik. Recent trips to the UK have been even more fruitful teaming up with Killahurtz on another collaboration and then furthering his relationship with Dave Seaman by becoming an integral part of the Group Therapy project. This has led to a flurry of remix activity working on esteemed projects such as Bedrocks 'Santiago' , Gabriel and Dresden's 'Tracking Treasure Down' and The Belivers 'The World' which should all be due for release in early 2006.

With 2007 well and truly underway, Stel has kept increasingly busy both in the studio and on the road. While taking in gigs in locations diverse as Brazil, Russia, China and Bulgaria he now prepares to unleash a veritable bombardement of new productions in the coming months!

First up is his collaboration with Phatjak under the alias Tannen entitled "The Blackout" on Nick Warren's Hope imprint. The original featured on Nick's Global Underground: Paris and is set for full release at the of April. This will be followed by Stel's first outing on Lexicon Avenue's mighty Forensic label with a track called "People" in May. The release also features a remix by the boys themselves. Lastly, also on Hope, in June Stel will release his first EP including "Heart Full of Napalm" and "Infinity" the latter of which has been included on Hernan Cattaneo's "Sequential 2" CD for Renaissance and is already getting some serious attention.

On the remix front, and working alongside Dave Seaman as Group Therapy, Stel maintains his penchant for big-room, high energy productions-a standard the pair have already set with remixes for the likes of Nick Warren and Jimmy Van M, Bedrock and Gabriel and Dresden to name a few. This time, they give the remix treatment to their old buddies Lostep for the track "Dr. Kings Surgery" which is out in April on Global Underground and also Hybrid's "Last Man Standing" which is due out at the end of spring on Distinctive. The Hybrid remix has already benefitted from some heavy support and some high profile radio support by Pete Tong and John Digweed on their respective radio shows! Last but not least. Stel has also found time to produce a barnstorming, tech-electro remix for his close friends and occasional collaborators, Trafik for the track "Indistructable" which will be available on Global Underground in the coming months.
