"Growing up on the island of Hydra was a “surreal” experience, according to Stephan, a musician and producer known for throwing epic parties at his sprawling seaside mansion. Over the years, he has hosted countless musicians at his home, a former carpet factory, where family heirlooms hint at his aristocratic heritage. Although Stephan lives between Hydra and Miami, the Greek island is always his home. The abundant nature and carefree freedom characterize the island for him—with music forever at the heart of his projects."
