The Magician is the alias of talented DJ/Producer, Stephen Fasano.
One night not so long ago, he appeared from a place between space and time. Apparently, he stepped into this world, materializing in a cloud of crystal stars and soft pink smoke. Some claim he’s a former airline pilot who crashed an after party — some say it’s all just an illusion, a well-performed hoax.
Previously a member of revered Balearic disco duo, Aeroplane, he disembarked that flight and boarded his own magical carpet ride in 2010.
Following a string of releases on the French tastemaker label Kitsune, Stephen finally struck platinum with his re-work of Lykke Li’s “I Follow Rivers” in 2011 (which has had over 80 million views on YouTube and topped the charts across Europe) and Clean Bandit’s “Rather Be” in 2014.
After signing to Parlophone/Warner Records and joining the Machine Management roster of artists in late 2013, The Magician hit new heights with his massive summer smash “Sunlight” featuring the vocals of Olly Alexander from Years & Years.
With Top 10 “hit” status achieved in the UK, Europe and Australia, The Magician spent 2015/16 cultivating his own live events and record label aptly named ‘POTION.’ New singles “Together” and “Shy” quickly followed.
2017 see The Magician sign a new major record deal with Sony with a host of new releases and collaborations planned.
During this whole time he has also been capturing the imaginations of music fans with his “Magic Tapes” series on Soundcloud. Every month he sifts through new music — exclusives from other artists plus music from fans — crafting these tracks into new DJ mix tapes. He has now broke the 65th mark whilst along the way gaining a cult following of disco, pop and house fans. Everywhere The Magician DJs people fall under his spell.
