Stilnovo is proud to present Sona’s first original release for the London label. The Dallas native-Taiwan transplant has been making steady waves in the dance music scene with his innovative production style and genre bending sounds. Handpicked and signed by Pete Tong for his Bedroom Bedlam label, Sona’s work is also praised by top players like John Acquaviva, Onionz and Carl Cox.
With this new release Sona is in top form, with a melodic yet very moving number.
Stef LeFrancois adds his signature style for a more electronic vibe that is set to rock dance floors, while Eleonora explores brighter vibes with a broken and a chill out mix reminiscing of summer sunsets.
Early support from Laurent Garnier, Giom, Tony Humphries, Coccoluto and many more.
It’s looking good for the months ahead as we prepare for the release of new singles from 6pod9 and Sona.
Madrid based producer 6pod9 might be known for his amazing samples collections for popular companies such as Loopmasters, Zero-g, SoundstoSample and Samplemagic – no wonder his productions skills are truly remarkable.
His first single for Stilnovo is a real Deep House beauty. With hints of Tech and Minimal, and a beatiuful melody to boot, this track is going to make waves.
We are now deciding who is going to be on the remix duty for “Aire” (the name of the track) so stay tuned…
The other new single comes from our Taiwan favourite, Sona. Already having received great feedback for his remix of Rogiers and Bilal “Hollywood Story” (STIL001), we knew we would have been up for more! “Lost Causes” is a beautifully textured Deep House track, with Soulful sounds that only a classically trained musician like Sona could pull off! More info coming soon.

Positive Flow – Dance of The Soul on BBC 1Xtra
Our fourth Stilnovo single, Positive Flow – Dance of The Soul has been also playlisted by BBC 1Xtra DJ Footlose in July and August, for his radio show.
Footloose chose the Tech House sounds of Demarkus Lewis’ Deez TechSoul Vocal Mix.

6pod9 – Aire reviewed on SoundReflect
Debut release on Stilnovo from Electronic sensation Manu Alonso AKA 6pod9. This release is sure to fascinate lovers of Deep and Tech House alike.
As a fast rising talent in the Electronic music scene, 6pod9 has developed a very unique sound which spans from the most banging minimal electro, to spacial ambient. Whatever the genre, 6pod9 always brings elegance and sophistication to his creations and is setting the standards for the new generation of producers.
Already releasing award winning sample packs for companies such as Loopmasters, Samplemagic and Zero-G, 6pod9 is a natural when it comes to sound design.
The package also includes a stunning mix from Demarkus Lewis, who revisited the track in his own signature house style, making this the perfect choice for the club, while still remaining true to its original vibe.
Rogiers ft. Bilal – Hollywood Story (Remixes)
On a deeper, though possibly even more soulful, note comes this debut release from Stilnovo with these excellent remixes giving the release even more urgency. The ‘Leech & Maxime Cescau Remix’ adds an intense rhythm section to Bilal Oliver’s sweet vocal delivery which cleverly disguises its cynical subject matter re. the Hollywood set et al. Next is the ‘Sona Remix’ which gets more twisted with warped keyboards and an off -kilter atmosphere to neatly suit the alternative take.
M8 Magazine (Greg Fenton)
Eleonora Cutaia and Stilnovo Music are proud to present the label’s first release. “Hollywood Story” is a classic R&B song from the very talented US artist Rogiers, turned it into a House anthem! The track features Bilal Oliver on vocals and these remixes are already making serious waves.
The first mix sees The Leech (AKA Demarkus Lewis) and Poussez’ very own Maxime Cescau on the production duties. An infectuos deep and tech house track that doesn’t take the soul out of the equation.
The second mix comes from Taiwan’s rising star Sona (productions and remixes featured on respected outlets such as OM Records, MTV and winner of Pete Tong’s Fast Trax).
Early support from Quentin Harris, Aaron Ross, Jask, Roland Appel and more.
