NEW EP OUT JUNE 6 ON NOSTRO HOOD SYSTEM
stelios.exe is a Marseille-based producer fusing early music traditions with forward-momentous electronic sound design. Having a trained background in medieval, Renaissance, and baroque music, his release ‘Crystal Towers’ explores new sonic territory by blending ancestral techniques with experimental tools. Said EP marks a pivotal turning point for the artist, which features the use of his own voice and the Renaissance flute for the first time in conjunction with a synthetic palette. Sonically, influences draw from the likes of Oneohtrix Point Never, The Knife, and Renaissance composers such as Byrd or Gesualdo : stelios.exe embraces a transgressive approach to aural sound design.
Suspended above the chaos of the world, the Crystal towers act as beacons in the night, warning of dangers while offering spaces of retreat. Their walls are both mirror and prism: they reflect the world’s passions and torments, while also capturing a fragmented celestial light. This interplay of reflections gives birth to ghostly visions, remnants of a forgotten empire, now altered and deformed.

EP OUT ON UNIZONE (March 2nd, 2023)
The EP De Ave Phoenice is a piece of work inspired by the medieval poem of the same name, recounting the cycle of birth, death and resurrection of the phoenix.
Musically, it builds bridges between baroque and hyperpop, two genres born three centuries apart, but both based on expressive and melodic exuberance.
Baroque ´Contrepoint´, a composition technique which develops several simultaneous melodies, is integrated here into a maximalist approach to pop music, where codes and effects are saturated and pushed to their climax.
