Six Degrees Recording Artist Jef Stott has been deftly navigating the realms of the global remix for over a decade. As a producer, he has founded the projects LUMIN, and STELLAMARA, produced releases for for MC RAI, and SOM'MA. He has released many tracks and remixes for the Six Degrees Label as well as written tracks for the popular Sims Video Games, and composed for several modern dance, Tribal Bellydance and theater productions.
As a musical anthropologist, he has studied with master musicians from Morocco, Algeria, Egypt, Iran and Turkey which led him to become accomplished on several traditional stringed and percussion instruments of the Middle East. These instruments figure prominently in his composition and production work as well as inform his sensibility about cultural relativism and issues of appropriation.
His work has been released on several record labels including Universal, EMI, Six Degrees, Hearts of Space, Triloka and City of Tribes. He has performed at festivals and concerts in New York, San Francisco, Los Angeles, Hawaii, Istanbul, Edinburgh, London, and Mexico.
