Stos

A longtime bedroom DJ, Stos has occasionally graced the decks the last 25 years with the caveat that he plays “great music mixed poorly.”  Suffice to say he is quite fond of modern DJ controllers- but will begrudgingly rock vinyl from time to time. 

Stos immigrated to Detroit by way of Canada and Greece where he first began listening to techno and house in the discotheques of the Greek islands, and late night Detroit radio. From there he grew active in the Detroit Techno scene, where he ran the “313kids” listserv and started the DJ crew “The Struggle” which included several veterans of Detroit's underground techno, house, and rave scene.

Over the years, Stos has shared a bill (granted, always at the bottom of said bill) with artists such as Carlos Souffront, ADULT. and T. Linder. Stos currently lives in Washington, DC where he is a founding member of "Midnight FM".

While Detroit Techno is his biggest influence, his sets today tend to be a mix of techno, italo, and the darker "acid disco" sound that emerging from the Mediterranean and Latin America.
