Stan Kolev

Haunting melodies, hypnotizing vocals and most of all heart-quenching synths. It is this perfected signature sound that has earned Miami-based DJ/Producer, Stan Kolev, a place at the top of house music's most respected and in-demand producers. A former drummer, Stan's mastery of rhythm is unparalleled in his ability to portray emotion through his exquisite production. Moving to Miami from bulgaria at an early age, Stan began producing in 1996 and by 2003 he already had a massive world-wide hit with De Moma De under the name Casa Flava, which hit #13 on the UK Top 40 Dance Chart .

Stan was soon invited to play at Miami's hottest clubs becoming a pioneer in today's South Beach Sound. Stan's prized performances reached global heights when XM Satellite Radio's UPOP Channel requested to broadcast his set from the closing party at the prestigious Suite Lounge Miami in the summer of 2008. As one of the highest selling artists on Beatport, in 2008 alone, Stan Kolev had two number one hits including Breakout on Baroque Records which reached #1 Tech House and Stan Kolev's remix of Joeski's Caribe Elektrico which reached #1 on Deep House and was later signed to Balance SOS 013.
Stan Kolev's tracks Asuncion, Midwayers, Internally Generated, Haters and Wait A While also ruled the Beatport charts. Nick Warren picked up Stan's track Soma Funk for his Lima GU035 compilation on Global Underground. His music also appears on the last three Global Underground compilations: "Mesmerizing"on GU Mixed 4, "I Know Feat Bubu"on Global Underground Summer Collection and also on Global Underground 2010. With such success in the charts, it is no wonder that Stan's music is hailed by the world's top DJs, producers, and record labels including Paul Oakenfold, Hernan Cattaneo, Chus & David Penn, David Morales, Renaissance, Global Underground, ZYX and Buddha Bar just to name a few. Stan has released his original work on Global Underground, Baroque, Plastic Fantastic, Ready Mix, Dutchie and Outta Limits has done remixes for Baroque, Unrealesed Digital,Plastica, Soma, Atlantic, and Sony among others.
