Stratiou is a South African-born producer with Greek and Cypriot heritage. His performances and works blend afro-infused electronic rhythms with cinematic storytelling. His sound explores the emotional tension between tradition and futurism — built on deep percussion, textured synths, and an unmistakable sense of soul.

With international playlist support from Apple Music’s ‘Afro House Nation’ and Amazon Music’s global Afro House curation, Stratiou’s music has found resonance from Europe to Australia to South America. His standout release, "Soma Páei", also gained radio support from Dialekt Radio (Sultan + Shepard) and 5FM’s In Das We Trust.

A winner of the Hunters x Jacquel Culture House competition, Stratiou was selected by Sun-El Musician for a collaborative residency — a turning point in refining his sound into something both intimate and expansive.

Whether behind the decks or in the studio, Stratiou is driven by narrative:

“I love storytelling, and that’s something I try to bring across in every record I write.”

Previously a resident at the cult-favorite Sunday School Sessions in Stellenbosch, Stratiou has since bridged into the UK scene — performing at Moles, the historic venue known for acts like Carl Cox, Peggy Gou, and Massive Attack.

Stratiou’s current work reflects a creative chapter rooted in identity, movement, and emotional clarity — a producer not just shaping sound, but shaping atmosphere.
