Stefan’s passion for music began early, thanks to his father owning a renowned record store in Soho, where he was immersed in a world of high-fidelity audio and an eclectic mix of music from metal and industrial to art-rock and intricate electronic. He first discovered mastering early on through the habit of studying the credits on record sleeves.

At the age of 20, Stefan ventured into mastering himself, quickly building a client base in underground dance and electronic music scenes across Europe and the US, whilst simultaneously completing a degree in Audio Engineering at SAE Institute London. He quickly expanded to mastering other genres, ranging everywhere from pop to harsh-noise. Stefan continues to work primarily with independent artists and labels, maintaining a strong personal involvement with his clients and their music, ensuring their artistic intent is realised to the highest possible outcome.

Stefan’s mastering philosophy is centred on establishing the emotional content of the music, understanding what will resonate with the listener long after playback ends, with a specific attention to depth, atmosphere, tone and impact.

Stefan has worked with countless artists and labels worldwide, serving as the in-house mastering engineer for London’s Revok Records since their inception, collaborating with prominent Detroit-based tech-house labels like KIK DRM, Good Ground Recordings, Fly Over Records, Jendex and Moorgate Records and mastering vinyl releases for Berlin’s Subverted Records, a prominent Queer experimental techno label.
