Stathis Lazarides (Stathis L)

About Me

Stathis Lazarides (Refrazed / Cavo Paradiso / Rhythmatic)Stathis Lazarides has the musical ethos and mentality of an artist who finds it impossible to compromise with trends and to specify genres when in the studio or at the DJ booth. Music has been his foremost priority for 20 years and the concept of sitting down to compose in his studio without a specific plan, is for him the building block of underground music. Stathis has started his journey into the amazing world of dance music at the tender age of 17.The setting was a small pub in his native country, Greece, but the impact to his life was massive. After spending some time Djing on various Greek Islands and enjoying a residency at the legendary Kinky Bambolina club in Thessalonica, he moves to London to study sound engineering and gets his first taste of an illegal rave in the middle of a field in Bedfordshire (many-many more followed)! After finishing successfully his studies, starts his own record labels, Funktastique records and Bailado Music, and enjoys a string of releases, favored by dj’s like Sasha,James Zabiela, Seb Fontaine, Steve Lawler, John Digweed and radio stations including BBC Radio 1 and Kiss fm. Around the same time, he begins his residency at the world famous club Cavo Paradiso, in Mykonos, Greece (where summer 08 was his 10th consecutive season as a resident), and gets regular appearances at the Ministry of sound,Turnmills,Egg,Soulsonic clubs in London.Soon after, he gets noticed by labels like Azuli(Stathis L-Spaceman),Harlem,Steve Lawler’s label(Deep Impakt-Shroomz) and Blackwiz,Sandy Rivera’s label(Stathis L-Music 4 Girls) and start remixing projects for Phonetic(Skahana-St Tropez),Blackwiz (Suroh-Sentimentos),Wallop(Smash-Damaged),Urbantorque(Relati on-In Minuscule).Stathis L. appearance in the club culture saw him playing with many of the worlds influential Djs, such as Carl Cox, Danny Tenaglia, John Digweed, Laurent Garnier, Little Louie Vega, Felix Da Housecat, Harry Choo Choo Romero, Sandy Rivera, Pete Tong, Steve Lawler and many more. His ‘sympathy for the audience’ and his ‘music has no borders’ attitude made him abuse different stages around the world.His latest projects include Refrazed Music,a label he founded in 2006,with a mission to showcase talent from his native country and to also release the majority of his music (check myspace.com/refrazedmusic for more info on releases and where to buy).Stathis other recent activities also include a London residency with Rhythmatic,a new party hosted by club Egg monthly,and regular appearances at the best clubs in Italy from Naples to Rome and from Verona to Milan.It is impossible to define his music style in a few concise words. Deep evolution? Funky sentiments? Dirty intentions? Atmospheric? Non pretentious? Quality Underground music? Dark ? Tones of melancholy? Or a reflection to his emotions? His style obviously has a good presence of house and techno surrounded by a range of elements. But imagine what would happen if several people were asked to describe a very large and complex object that they don’t see, but could only feel. In this case the object seems to be music!
