STONEBRIDGE

StoneBridge is an artist that needs little introduction. If you’ve danced in a club, the chances are you’ve danced to a StoneBridge production. His unique brand of sexy house music has ruled dancefloors for 20 years, regularly crashing into the charts across the world. As a DJ his ability to move a dancefloor has seen him travel the globe, rocking parties everywhere from Sydney to San Francisco to Seoul to Sao Paolo.

In October 2004, StoneBridge released a long awaited debut artist album ‘Can’t Get Enough’. The album received overwhelming international acclaim, selling huge amounts and spawning the massive hit singles ‘Put ‘Em High’ and ‘Take Me Away’. Both tracks hit the UK Top 10 and to date have been released in 24 countries. With fans around the world desperate for more, in 2007 StoneBridge released his follow up artist album ‘Music Takes Me’ to similar ecstatic reaction. The singles from the album ‘SOS’, ‘You Don’t Know’ and ‘Close To Heaven’ have continued the StoneBridge success story, blasting out of radios everywhere and charting highly across the world.

Born in Stockholm, StoneBridge began DJ’ing in the early eighties, spinning funk and disco at his own night, ‘Fellini’. After hearing the innovative sound of house music coming from Chicago in the mid 80’s, StoneBridge immediately knew where his future lay and made an official switch to house, starting to remix tracks with a crew of other local DJs under the name SweMix. Their reputation grew and soon StoneBridge began remixing international acts like De La Soul, Titiyo and Rebel MC. However, it was with his remix of Robin S ‘Show Me Love’ in 1993, that StoneBridge established himself as a world class remixer and producer. The record went on to become one of the biggest selling house records of all time and before long some of the world’s biggest names in music were looking for the magical StoneBridge touch to remix their records. The list of artists StoneBridge has remixed reads like a who’s who of music; artists such as Lenny Kravitz, Missy Elliott, Robbie Williams, Simple Minds, Will Smith, Texas, Patti Labelle and Debbie Harry. Most recently it was StoneBridge who was asked to remix ‘Gimme More’ the comeback single from Britney Spears connecting Britney to the dancefloors once again as only he knows how and soon also the forthcoming mixes of Ne Yo ‘Closer’ and Usher ‘Love In This Club’

As head of his own highly successful label Stoney Boy Music, StoneBridge continues to release club anthems with his special brand of peak time house. Alongside his own album and singles, new singles Fudge ‘Fruitcake’ and the collaboration StoneBridge & Wawa ‘Let It Go’ are also set for release on this respected dance label.

StoneBridge's most recent mix album ‘The Flavour, The Vibe’ was released worldwide in summer 2006 following the ‘Dance Valley Sunrise’ double album in 2005. The album was well received, ending up as the soundtrack to house parties everywhere, leading to the second installment of ‘The Flavour The Vibe’ scheduled for August 2008 as well as a ‘Best of Stoney Boy’ mix by StoneBridge that is out July 14 on iTunes.

Aside from guest appearances on various radio mix shows in Europe, StoneBridge is also hosting a two-hour mix show for Sirius Satellite in the US (www.sirius.com) on the first Saturday of every month on Area 38, ten to midnight ET.

So, with a career that has already spanned two decades, StoneBridge shows no signs of slowing down, or losing the passion for house music that has given us so many great tunes. The StoneBridge story still has a long way to go...
