---------
Stelios Vassiloudis is a multifaceted composer, producer and DJ hailing from Athens, Greece. Active in the electronic music since the early 2000s, he has cultivated a sound of his own - one that reflects his rich and diverse musical background, transcending the dance floor via an emotional narrative of complex soundscapes, intricate harmonies and hypnotic rhythms.

Classically trained, with a Bachelor’s degree in acoustical engineering and a Master’s degree in composition and arrangement, Stelios carved his path in electronic music by traversing the globe as a DJ and live performer - performing at intimate underground clubs in Beirut, festivals in Miami, afterhours in Tokyo, beaches in Goa and mega clubs in Argentina. His studio prowess and coveted productions cemented his reputation as a versatile and acclaimed artist, as he developed a formidable discography on esteemed labels such as Bedrock, Poker Flat, Ovum, Constant Sound, Darkroom Dubs and Balance, among others.

Now, entering a new phase of his career, Stelios prepares to unveil his sophomore album, a collection of works that marks a departure from the narrow confines of club music and represents the essence of what he’s all about – an album that merges the limitless possibilities of electronic music, his formidable training in composition and his diverse influences. Ten years on from the release of his debut LP, his detail-oriented offerings remain incomprehensibly thought-provoking and thorough. Both emotive and technically astute, the creative intuition packed into All Else Fails is almost difficult to fathom - a balanced compilation of grand compositions, paired with subtle, nuanced pieces that is set to engage and entice audiences across an altogether broader spectrum.
Stelios’ intense passion and drive for innovation in music serves as the fuel to keep him inspired and relevant, qualities that no doubt ensure his reputation as an artist of the highest calibre, will endure.

“Silence is not the absence of sound, but the absence of self.”
— anthony de mello

Ambient & medicine music has been a blessing in this last years of my life. A gift, really. It’s been guiding me through my own inner journey—through healing, through feeling, through exploring —and I’m grateful beyond words for how it continues to hold space for me and all those who come across some of this soul & earth inspired music.

This Glass Garden session was recorded in nature, where I grew up. It’s a mix of songs I’ve gathered, new music I love, and some of my own ambient work—improvised in the moment, guided by presence. I truly hope it brings you what it brought me: healing, acceptance, a sense of inner space.

Thank you to Glass Garden, @alysmusique and @dobmusique , for creating such a beautiful series, and thank you to everyone who takes the time to listen. I’m honored to share this chapter of the journey with you.

*We have currently paused operations due to limited capacity*

Founded originally as a boutique electronic music blog in 2012 in India, now crossing borders in Berlin, Getting Deeper has organically grown and consistently delivered authentic music with genres such as deep house, deep tech, minimal, IDM, downtempo, trip-hop and techno.

Lush vibes, melodic intricacies and sublime mindstates are places we constantly strive to reach through the music we publish. We also like to encourage escapism, philosophical meanderings and sometimes indulging in the dark side of things. In simple words, we like to get deep.
