Like Franco V during much of the week, Stan Kolev provides soulful house sounds for the moneyed loungers who occupy Grass. But before you dismiss him as a human jukebox for rich people, note that he brings a solid pedigree to his prime weekend slot. As a producer, he's worked with fellow European house titans Chicco Secci and Ivano Bellini. But his longest collaboration is with Olivier Berger; as Casa Flava, they have landed tracks on major DJ compilations such as Renaissance: The Masters Series. Kolev is a reminder that few DJs earn a significant berth in this competitive marketplace without some noteworthy experience.
