Jef
Stott has been deftly navigating the realms of the global remix as a producer,
composer and performer for over a decade. His solo debut, SoukSonik from
Six Degrees Records released in early 2007 went to #5 in the UK World
Music Charts.Bridging the divide between the music of the Middle East
and Dj remix culture, Jef’s work is a dynamic rhythmic blend of Sufi breaks,
luscious spiritual dub and Arabesque house anthems.
As a trained musical anthropologist, he has studied with master musicians
from Morocco, Algeria, Egypt, Iran and Turkey which led him to become
accomplished on several traditional stringed and percussion instruments
of the Middle East. In the studio, he has gone on to become a sought after
producer and remixer working primarily with artists from the Middle East
living in diaspora including Stellamara, Lumin, MC RAI, Azam Ali, Somma,
Atash and many others. His work has been released on several record labels
including Universal, EMI, Six Degrees, Hearts of Space, Triloka and City
of Tribes. He has performed at festivals and concerts in New York, San
Francisco, Los Angeles, Canada, Hawaii, Istanbul, Edinburgh, London, and
Mexico.
Jef lives and works in San Francisco, California. For full biographical
