Stace Cadet

Australian producer, DJ, and vocalist Stace Cadet is creating some of the most tempo-raising dance music in the electronic world right now. Born Stasi Kotaras, the Adelaide-based artist has made a name for himself by creating music that promotes a joyous, euphoric experience. He celebrates dance music for what it is at its very core – a collision of music and human movement.

“My love for dance music came from the buzz I caught from being at clubs and festivals. I fell in love with the energy of it all from a very young age.”

Established as a club staple, Stace Cadet moved into releasing his own music in 2016, announcing his arrival with ‘Molly Happy’. ‘Molly Happy’ introduced Stace Cadet to the club world snagging ARIA Club and MTV Dance No.1’s. From there, he crafted a sound that turns up the bass and lays on the instantly memorable hooks, providing a jolt of dopamine. In delivering that sound, he’s worked with an expansive range of collaborators & labels including Sweat It Out, Insomniac, Armada, Atlantic, Sony Music & his home label, Medium Rare Recordings.

2020 was a challenging year for everyone but the silver lining for Stace Cadet was his runaway hit ‘Energy’. A collaboration with KLP on Medium Rare. ‘Energy’ became an instant hit, fulfilling a craving for dance music in a year where the club & festival scene was brought to a halt. With a roof-raising hook and relentless, blood-pumping beat, it’s the sort of rush that can instantly alter moods.

‘Energy’ has continued to notch up accolades since its release. It currently boasts over 25 million streams worldwide and an ARIA Gold certification, ‘Energy’ was then also awarded the No.1 ARIA Club record for 2020. These were just some of the highlights that capped off a stacked 2020 for Stace Cadet. ‘Energy’ was also nominated for an ARIA Award for Best Dance Release. Stace Cadet also made his debut on triple j’s Like A Version, delivering a stirring rendition of Sia’s ‘Breathe Me’ alongside KLP. He also took over the triple j airwaves again last year, turning in both Friday and Saturday Mix Up sets. To cap it all off ‘Energy’ landed itself at 21 in triple j’s hottest 100, an incredible feat! Safe to say ‘Energy’ was one of the biggest Australian records last year.

It’s not just Australia who are getting a burst of energy from Stace Cadet. ‘Energy’ has been labeled a ‘Future Anthem’ by BBC Radio 1 with spins from Pete Tong & MistaJam, also hitting #1 on the UK Cool Cuts chart and being supported by taste makers including Claptone, Dennis Ferrer, Armin Van Buuren, Benny Benassi, DJ Snake and many more.

Now with borders starting to ease you may have seen him busy on-the-road headlining sold out shows all over the country, and with the teams at Medium Rare Recordings & Sony behind him Stace Cadet is gearing up for a year of more releases and touring – capitalising on a groundbreaking 2020. Houston, no problem here – lets’s dance!
