'Stella Nutella' (Hanna Flemström) hails from the beautiful High Coast area in North Sweden. DJing since 1998, she has played in over 30 countries around the globe. Spinning at clubs, festivals, underground raves, 5-star hotels..) her style varies from psytrance, house, techno or funky lounge music…always up for experimentation and surprises. In 2008, while living in Asia, she founded the successful all-female DJ agency (AMAZON AGENCY) which together with ZOUK club organised regular charity club events:Queens of Hearts, raising money for women in need. She also produced STOCKHOLM SYNDROME techno parties in Kuala Lumpur, jamming with other Swedish musicians and visual artists. She is also a music producer with a diploma from the prominent song writing school Musikmakarna Song Academy https://www.musikmakarna.se/en/ and releases on numerous labels worldwide since 2000.

I’ve complained in the past about modern music needing a jolt of innovation without coming off as pretentious. Phidippus seems to epitomize the desire to make great music while refusing to keep to one specific formula, making his trajectory as an artist fascinating to watch. I find Phidippus to be an immensely underappreciated musician who just needs one big hit to make his name reverberate throughout the densely packed world of electronica, and I hope that that day comes sooner rather than later.
