DJ Stax

“Purveyor of deep, infectious dance grooves and a feel-good atmosphere”

This is how DJ Stax describes himself as a DJ. Never be afraid to go too deep, his emotive musical selections are his own therapy. Having grown up listening to house music in the 90s with the influence of Louie Vega, Kerri Chandler, Africanism All Stars, to mention a few and all of which became an influence with his own love of house music. DJ Stax ended up with quite a mixed spectrum of music influence. Today, this translates into sets where he picks apart and infuse together all the pieces of this music that he loves best: beautiful synth work, ethereal backdrops, brooding basslines and vocal hooks...all on top of a pronounced foot-shuffling house beat.

A very active member of his local community, DJ Stax is no stranger to the ups and downs of a small town music scene. Though he loves playing music in different venues and special events, his love for music goes beyond the spectrum of mixing tunes. As a producer and owner of an independent record label called iTouch Recordings (established in 2011), a promoter…he has found plenty ways to express himself musically. When he is not out mixing tunes, he spends most time on his home studio that has a produced a number of hits and he has released two album to date (in December 2014 and May 2017 and various EPs. It was “The New Beginnings (2014) and Transition (2017). When DJ Stax is free, he spends time nurturing the local talent by helping them to become better artists.

“For me, it’s all about mood and a deep, hypnotic groove. Playing those tracks that get you tapping your feet and nodding your head without you realizing it, regardless of genre, tempo, style or release date”
