Stella & The Longos
Stella Zekri and Ed Longo have forged a project born out of a love for obscure vinyl treasures, boogie and disco from the 70s and 80s. Their goal was to bring the sound of the past into the present through a modern-day lens. Without sounding like reheated retro fare, of course. After the two DJs and crate diggers met in Berlin between record shops and neighbourhood concerts, a sonic vision was quickly born. In the summer of 2022, the debut album ‘Détends-Toi’ was born - the former duo became a six-piece band that blends super smooth funk grooves with warm, shimmering synthesisers and sounds like they've been doing it day in, day out for two decades. Superbly adept, stylistically versatile yet focussed, Stella & The Longos create an addictive signature sound that goes down like warm caramel.
