ctrl LIVE: Stavroz [BE]
Room 1 [Electronic]

On Saturday, March 7, we welcome Stavroz, arriving from “the land of compromise in the heart of Europe” aka Belgium.

Blending organic instruments like sax and guitar with electronic production, Stavroz shape a night where rock, electronic pulse, and cinematic storytelling meet on the dancefloor.

They recently released a 14-track album, “Take a seat”, described as a “journey that drifts through dusty deserts, humid cities, and late-night reflections” by Decoded Magazine.

What started in 2011 with playing DJ sets and creating music in which they loved colliding worlds, later expanded into a performing band. Trying to find an unbeaten path in electronic music, they brought a delicately acoustic, organic and cinematic approach to it.

As a result they were awarded second place for “best producer” and “best breakthrough artist” in national awards for Belgium’s electronic scene.

Their EP “The Ginning” resulted in an early breakthrough for the four-some. It reached gold status in France, dominated the nr. 1 spot on the Hype Machine and was chosen as vinyl of the month by Germany’s “Faze Magazine”, mainly thanks to the B-side “The Finishing” starring a compelling solo on the tenor saxophone.

Their intimate live performance grew more dramatic and their unique dj sets spread like wildfire as they started frequenting many international stages. Coachella (US), Fusion Festival (DE), Wonderfruit (THA), Pukkelpop (BE), Strawberry Fields (AUS), Tropico (MX), Three Points Festival (FL, USA) all fell victim to Stavroz’s unusual dramatic, melancholic yet determined approach.

The band was quickly invited by the acclaimed Youtube channel “Cercle” to perform a streaming concert at Fort Saint-Eynard in France where once again, they managed to create a wholesome, comforting soundtrack for a place, which no words can describe.
