STOTO – Hidden Gem of Electronic Music
Electronic music is one of the most popular genres. Over the last 20 years we have seen how new sub genres emerged and developed, attracting even more fans to this music style. So naturally there’s hundreds of artists who compose this type of music. And it’s almost impossible to know them all.
But if you could recommend the one artist you should know, especially if you enjoy EDM, that would be Stoto. This talented musician creates amazing music that you are always glad to come back to. Beautiful tracks with great beats and catchy melodies.
Who is Stoto? Short Bio
Stoto (Stoyan Stoyanov) was born in 1989 in Haskovo, Bulgaria. His love for music began with a family friend’s old synthesizer. In 8th grade, he started experimenting with music on a Nokia app and later with FL Studio, producing tracks under the alias DJ MC STOTOYAN.
Stoto was a fan of artists like ATB, Tiesto and Deadmau5, so he naturally shifted to trance music. His first significant release, “Lost,” came in 2010 with Echelon Records. After moderate success and many rejections, he found support from Digital Insomnia Records, where he released over 40 tracks.
In 2014, Stoto created his label, Save The Panda Recordings, and adopted the Stoto moniker. His remix of “Chandelier” by Sia went viral, boosting his career.
In 2017, a hard drive failure caused him to lose his album “Lost,” but he re-released it in 2020. That same year, “Still Can’t Sleep” achieved significant success, allowing him to become a full-time musician.

Stoto Musical Style
Stoto’s music style is a blend of various genres. You get elements of melodic deep house, chill-out, progressive house. His tracks come with great melodies, nice synths, some amazing guitars. And always good vibes.
It’s hard to put his music into a single style, as he often mixes things up. I would characterize it as mostly melodic techno. But you should listen to it yourself, and see what it reminds you. In the end it doesn’t matter what genre it is. The most important is that his music is awesome and super enjoyable.
