Stefano De Santis

Stefano has been a go-to session player in many projects across multiple genres - from Jazz to Funk, Reggae, and Pop. And in 2017, he launched the ‘Big Beat’ trio who blended pure Jazz with new synth sounds and syncopated drum patterns. Later, in 2020, Stefano teamed up with his friend and consummate drummer, Gaetano De Carli to form Re:Fill, balancing the old world and the contemporary. Their first record, ‘Cycles’ (Cognitiva Records), was released in June 2022 and features a collaboration with heavy-hitters from the UK’s DJ-producer scene, Ben Hauke and WheelUp. As a solo artist, Stefano has been turning heads with his innovative fusions of Jazz, funk, Broken Beat with releases such as the bossa infused ‘Barra Nova’ (Mother Tongue Records) and his ‘Unreachable Galaxy’ EP (Ramrock Red), the spiritual jazz EP, ‘A Kind of Prayer’ and the Jazzfunk 7inch, ‘Santos ’79’, both through Colin Curtis.
