Parov Stelar (real name: Marcus Füreder) is an Austrian musician, composer, producer and DJ. He releases his music on his own label Etage Noir Recordings. Stelar was one of the first producers to combine electronic music with jazz and swing. Not only in his recordings, but also on stage, often with a live band.

On his latest album The Burning Spider, Stelar introduces some new influences, most notably blues. The album contains contributions from Lightnin’ Hopkins, singer Anduze from the American Virgin Islands and, on my favourite track, from Muddy Waters.
