// FRANCO FABI
Nothing can stop the ambition that is Franco Fabi. The Montreal deck wizard has managed to carve out an impressive position within the national and international clubbing community, combining savvy, drive and musical prowess.
This Montreal resident completed his first full-length studio album, Reflection Session, in 2006 in collaboration with the heavy hitting vocal talents of Lisa Pure and Robert Owens and, his first mixed CD compilation was released in January 2007.
Franco got his start in the ultra competitive Montreal scene and soon his Friday night residency at the notorious Ilume club earned him a faithful following. This was the beginning of his rise to global fame.
In 2006, it was Franco’s magical set at the annual event ‘Celebration’ that truly jump started his career. It will be a long time before his 4 hour set, witnessed by 7000 strong, will be forgotten.
Fabi’s infectious blend of top-shelf, electro-laced, progressive, throbbing club vibes was too strong to be limited to Montreal alone and, as a result, Franco was invited to share the booth with a host of DJ elite. Icons such as Roger Sanchez, Tiesto, Danny Tenaglia, Steve Lawler, Deep Dish (2006 Canadian Tour), Paul Oakenfold and Chus & Ceballos are some of the many legends he has played alongside.
Having already graced the decks in France, Spain, Lebanon (B018), Italy, Las Vegas (Ice), Miami (Mansion & Global Gathering), L.A. (Avalon & Spundae) to tremendous acclaim, it is no mystery how he managed to secure residencies in Poland (Varsovie), Morocco (Marrakech), Tunisia, and London England in clubs like the world famous Pacha.
With his sights set on converting you, look to the decks near you to give in to Franco’s infectious sounds, and like the rest...you will not be disappointed.

// STATHIS LAZARIDES (UK)
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(Relation-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!
