Stelsi is a Ukrainian electro-folk/synthpop/electronic dance music group, founded in 1999 by Alex Kukharsky in Chernivtsi, Bukovina, Ukraine. The band is credited as one of the first electronic music acts in Ukraine, with a fusion of styles that quickly grew into mainstream popularity at the beginning of the 2000s.[1] The band's sound evolved from big-beat, techno, house and other club-oriented genres (2000-2003); up to more live performance synthpop\alternative\rock music (2003-2005), eventually incorporating ethnic\folk elements. This resulted in a style fusion that was called "electro-folk" by critics and the press (2005–present).[2] The band's music can be frequently heard in commercials, radio & TV shows, presentations, sports events and other media throughout Ukraine.[3]
