DJ Vasile, real name Lucian Stan, without exaggeration can be considered one of the veteran artists who founded electro music in Romania. He is one of the first people to open FM radio in Romanian, right after the fall of the communist regime in December 1989. Engaged in several projects over time, DJ Vasile was part of Matze in 1992 with Cristi Stanciu, and three years later founded the band Şuie Paparude alongside Mihai Câmpineanu (Michi) and Mihai Dobre (currently DJ Haute Culture). He has founded Natural Soft Killers (NSK) project in 1997 with Cristi Stanciu and Cristian Ştefănescu (Electric Brother).

In 2000, DJ Vasile got involved in a project that generates a lot of controversy, Shukar Collective. Among this band’s members (band who was present at the first edition of PLAI Festrival) are Dan Handrabur a.k.a. Dreamdoktor, Cristi Stanciu a.k.a. Matze, Mitoş Micleuşanu a.k.a. Diafragma, Vlaicu Golcea, Marius Mateşan and three singers and percussionists of Roma origin (Tamango, Napoleon, Clasic).

DJ Vasile, with his shows, won the Romanian public but also the respect of great artists in the business worldwide.

Now, at this fifth edition of PLAI Festival, DJ Vasile will open the evenings of Friday and Saturday with his mixes of world music.
