Mike Stellar

Searching for the perfect beat, this is how you can define Mike Stellar's mission. Without confining to any particular style you can hear on his sets an explosive mix of bass, nu-jazz, breakbeat, deep-house, Detroit techno, afrobeat, and funk. What unites all this is Groove. Since 1996 he's been one the driving forces on the quality music scene in Portugal. First as a promoter, and later caught in the addiction of vinyl. Since then he was of the groundbreaking promoters & DJ in Portugal, first with some legendary drum&bass parties in Lisbon and then moving to the jazznotjazz scene since 1999, introducing to Portugal people like Jazzanova, Gilles Peterson, Rainer Truby, Nicola Conte, The Amalgamation of Soundz, King Britt, Koop, Kyoto Jazz Massive, and many, many others. In the past years, guests like Mosca, Actress, Pariah, Nickodemus, Quantic, Pablo Valentino, Floating Points, Agoria, Julio Bashmore, amongst many others. He keeps a good flow of guests coming over balancing the classic with brand new flavors.

His monthly radio show for Radiozora in Hungary has been going for 7 years already, always with a good flow of guest mixes. Also a resident at Ozora Festival. He was part of the Red Bull Music Academy Portuguese team since 2004 until 2019, where he was responsible for all bookings and events Red Bull Music related.
