At a very early age Stefan developed a passion for dance music but, it wasn't until he was 17 years old, and had discovered an event called Tangled in Manchester, that his passion led him down the road to the DJ booth.  After watching DJ's week in, week out, in awe of what they did and how they did it, he took the plunge and invested in a pair of inexpensive belt drive decks on which he learned the fundamentals of beat matching and mixing.  As the love for trance, house and the harder side of house grew, so did the need to upgrade his setup.  After purchasing a shiny new pair of Technics 1210 mk2's Stefan secured a spot at the School of Sound Recording in Manchester where he learned new skills, and gained valuable insight into promotional management.  After this, he then completed a Radio Production course with Mancat College to further his knowledge of the music business and was a semi-finalist in the National Superstar DJ Competition in 2004.

Soon to follow were gigs at some of the big events of that time, notably, TOAST, SIN:ERGY, PUREFILTH, AFFINITY and FUSED. Also, under the management of Logical DJ Agency, he played regular 5 hour funky house sets at Bar Ca in Manchester.

After an 8 year absence from the scene due to personal reasons, the love for dance music was still there... 2020 saw Stefan return to DJ'ing, but this time using the digital format. Posting regular trance and hard house sets to his SoundCloud, his audience began to grow at a quick rate and he has since featured on Wanted Underground Sounds birthday livestream as well as on JamJam Radio alongside the likes of Lab4 and HTE, where he reached an audience of thousands.  In 2021 he played his first gig for the new hard dance brand Meltdarn in Barnsley, with whom he then went on to secure a residency with. Stefan entered the System Damage DJ competition and came a very commendable 2nd place which secured him a gig at their event in Leicester. Most recently in 2022, Stefan has been playing at gigs up and down the country and went on to secure another residency with a new hard dance brand, Exile Events, playing his first gig for them in Weston-super-Mare along side the likes of Tom Berry, Jason Nawty, General Bounce and many others. Stefan will making his London debut for the Noise Addicts Afterparty in August 2023 and his first collab track 'Alright' with Bass Jumper has recently been signed to Hi-Five Digital due for release in late Summer.

Stefan Grainger, a DJ to keep your eyes on, is a multi genre artist of obvious talent whose sets of house, trance and hard house are bursting with the best of classic, upfront, and often unreleased tracks. 

MUSIC IS THE ANSWER!!😎🕺🎧🎵🔊

I've been listening to electronic music since I was old enough to tune into the John Peel show on Radio 1. Peel first introduced me to Chicago House, Detroit Electro and Rap. I would listen to an entire show with my finger hovering over the record button of my 'tape-recorder' close to the radio speaker just to record whatever 3 electronic imports he would play each night. I wish I'd kept those recordings.
From the moment I first heard 'Roxanne Shante' I sought out everything I could ranging from Kraftwerk, Mike Oldfield, Kurtis Mantronik, Africa Bambata, Grandmaster Flash, Gorgio Morodor, Axel-F, Jean Michel Jarre and just about anyone who used a synth to make music! With the arrival of House in the mid-late 80's the likes of Marshall Jefferson, Frankie Knuckles, Farley Jackmaster Funk, Steve Silk Hurley, Adonis and many more American underground House producers, the music had developed into a new, seriously exciting phenomena.
Music progressed at pace with House and Acid imports driving change, the UK in particular underwent an epiphany of sorts in the 80's and 90's. From Break-Dancing to New Romanticism, the music developed, finally morphing into the early genres of Acid Trance, Techno and Progressive Trance. Heavily influenced by American and underground Dutch and German artists and with the advent of clubbing and non-speaking mixing DJ's, it opened up a Pandora's box of new music, influences, sounds and styles. What that amounted to for me (and most others like me) was an ever-growing range of electronic music that was continually breaking free from pigeon-holes and mainstream pop culture. Electronic music had become the new classical music of a generation.
I can only say that electronic or computer music has evolved beautifully in the past 40 years and I love it as much now as the day I first heard John Peel play fantastic American imports.
I'm not anything more than a bedroom DJ and electronic music enthusiast. I have the greatest admiration for those who DJ publicly and seek to build a following or career from DJing, but that’s not a path I’ve tried to follow. I do love to put together great tunes, so for me using this sort of platform for sharing music is perfect for me. I do mixes both on my decks and using Ableton, as sometimes I find it easier to create a journey through that medium. 
As for making music, I’m slowly finding my way around Ableton in order to bring life to the musical ideas rolling around my head. 
Anyway, I hope you enjoy the mixes I post, please give me some feedback and if nothing else, support the artists themselves and buy their music.
