If you the one thing you didnt get for christmas was some decent music this is the place to be.
Stefano Greppi has been DJing since 1987. Starting in 1992, his residencies in the most important Clubs in Rimini and Riccione (cities very well known all over the world for their exclusive nightlife) gave him an increasing popularity that soon took him to the most prestigious Clubs of the entire Peninsula. He then began to make many trips around Italy to reach the biggest Clubs in Milan, Verona, and Rome. With this experience under his belt, Stefano started to make his first international appearances in the UK (Federation, Blackpool) and Switzerland (Bypass, Geneva). He was introduced to record productions in 1999 and never looked back. Although being autodidactic, he immediately showed a great attitude and talent for working in a music studio (as the success of his first project is revealed). Stefano believes that "every production is result of a particular mental state of the moment. This feature will be noticed even more when approached to sounds of a more electronic matrix."
In 2001 Stefano Greppi chose to move to London to improve his own knowledge and to face new experiences as a producer as well as a DJ. Thanks to his productions which have aroused massive attention from many prestigious labels all over the world, he has had the opportunity to perform in many of the most important Clubs around:
Crash (London), Cult (Lausanne, Switzerland), Gum Club (Hamburg, Germany), Mint (Buenos Aires, Argentina), Circoloco DC10 (Ibiza, Spain), MTV Valkana Beach Festival (Craotia) and other locations in Greece, Portugal, France. But he come back often also in Italy as guest: Distorsonie, Link, Doc Show (Bologna), The Flame (Bari), Alien and Absolute (Rome), Cocorico', Peter Pan (Riccione), Miss America c/o Maffia (Reggio Emilia).
Contemporarily grew his producer reputation, thanking to the success of "Freedom Is", published in Italy by Graffio Records and licensed to Alternative Route in UK, to Dj Vibe’s Kaos in Portugal and to Magnetik in USA; and with “Electro Pop”, published in 2002 by Plastica, a division of the UK label Plastic Fantastic. The entire progressive house world’s ‘elite’ has his records in their bags, from Danny Tenaglia to Deep Dish, from Sasha to John Digweed, Danny Howells, Anthony Pappa, Nick Warren and many others.
