Stelios\u2019 intense passion and drive for progression in music have led him to rack up an illustrious back catalog with releases on as Bedrock, Poker Flat, Ovum, Constant Sound, Rejected, Apparel, Darkroom Dubs, and Balance, among others.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Stelios Vassiloudis - It is What It Is (Continuous Mix Disc 1) [Official Audio]\" width=\"702\" height=\"395\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/aknrn7lanKw?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:1px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Not one to shy away from experimentation, the talent\u2019s impressive back catalog features a flush tapestry of influences from across the dance music spectrum. A firm favorite for John Digweed\u2019s Bedrock imprint, the Athens-born DJ now returns to his staple home to deliver his most impactful and daring studio album to date \u2013 &#8216;Human Damage Human.&#8217;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Landing on Digweed\u2019s iconic underground music house over a decade on from his debut LP for the label \u2013 It Is What It Is \u2013 Vassiloudis\u2019 latest record is another journey of discovery into the depths of music\u2019s panorama, reflecting his richly diverse background and impeccable technical knowledge.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Existing between the realms of electronic programming and classical composition, Stelios\u2019 latest album is built with varying sound palettes in mind, journeying through trip hop, electronica, jazz, downtempo and leftfield to create a record that\u2019s both brave and yet warmly familiar. Despite its miscellaneous nature, the body of work is wholly cohesive and intended for start-to-finish listening, decisively building in energy and intrigue.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-spotify wp-block-embed-spotify wp-embed-aspect-21-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe title=\"Spotify Embed: Human Damage Human\" style=\"border-radius: 12px\" width=\"100%\" height=\"352\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen allow=\"autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; fullscreen; picture-in-picture\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/open.spotify.com\/embed\/album\/3IDUlGiPB5WPUTVSW2hvnA?si=b_HhoF3HStmHEq5fT0vd1g&#038;utm_source=oembed\"><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:1px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Opening with the cinematic charm of &#8216;Is This Thing On&#8217; and &#8216;Like Suicide;&#8217; we\u2019re introduced to the record in an unequivocally cool manner, dipping into dreamy soundscapes and laidback percussion. The five cuts &#8216;Heat,&#8217; &#8216;Manifesto,&#8217; &#8216;Extinction,&#8217; &#8216;Downward Spiral&#8217; and &#8216;Kaizen&#8217; deliver on vocals, each more distinctive from the last, but equally as effective in their authenticity. Breaking away from traditional dance music-leaning vocal styles \u2013 and to fully realize the album\u2019s narrative of genre cross-pollination \u2013 Stelios employs Metalcore vocalist Alex Avdis for three of the cuts. Former front-man of the iconic London metal band The Defiled, Alex\u2019s niche background gives a fresh perspective to the album, one that has rarely been heard in the electronic scape.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A contemporary and modern twelve-track opus that\u2019s replete with hypnotic rhythms and complex soundscapes, &#8216;Human Damage Human&#8217; has a thought-provoking edge, reflecting the emotional narrative we\u2019ve come to know and love from Stelios\u2019 discography. A stunning follow-up from his sophomore album, the 2022-released &#8216;All Else Fails,&#8217; this latest offering showcases a new dimension of scope for his output, one that proves his boundless creativity and ability to remain progressive in a fast-changing scene.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Stelios Vassiloudis \u2013 Human Damage Human is out <a href=\"https:\/\/snd.click\/BEDSVHDHLP1\">via Bedrock Records<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:9px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h5 class=\"wp-block-heading\">You May Also Like: <\/h5>\n\n\n\n<h5 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.ticketfairy.com\/word\/2023\/06\/27\/8kays-remixes-booka-shades-in-white-rooms\/\" data-type=\"post\" data-id=\"47193\">8Kays Remixes Booka Shade\u2019s \u2018In White Rooms\u2019<\/a><\/h5>\n\n\n\n<h5 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.ticketfairy.com\/word\/2023\/08\/01\/alesso-john-newman-team-up-on-call-your-name\/\" data-type=\"post\" data-id=\"48616\">Alesso &amp; John Newman Team Up on \u2018Call Your Name\u2019<\/a><\/h5>\n\n\n\n<h5 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.ticketfairy.com\/word\/2023\/07\/11\/john-digweed-and-nick-muir-remix-island-hills-1000-lives\/\" data-type=\"post\" data-id=\"48010\">John Digweed and Nick Muir Remix Island Hill\u2019s \u20181000 Lives\u2019&nbsp;<\/a><\/h5>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Featuring his transportive style of production, the twelve-track album lands on John Digweed\u2019s famous Bedrock imprint.
