REX STAX
From Hip Hop block parties in New York to the sunburned mountains of Hatta in the UAE, REX STAX has lived a life shaped by rhythm, culture, and emotion. Today, he stands as one of the most versatile voices in the Afro House movement, blending raw street influences with the mysticism of the Middle East and the warm pulse of the Caribbean.
His music began long before the industry knew his name. At just eight years old, he watched his cousin spin vinyls, a moment that opened a portal into a world he never left. Delivering newspapers to buy his first turntable, DJing for adult crowds as a teenager, and working in the underground Hip Hop scenes of New York and Atlanta — each chapter built the artist he is today.
But it was the Caribbean that awakened something new.
The colors, the freedom, the rhythm of island life carved a pathway toward House music, where tribal drums and African percussion merged with memories of Hip Hop and the voices of the world.
His newest work under Café De Anatolia — Salam, Ya Leel, and Lies — embodies this global evolution. Recorded after a creative retreat in Hatta, the tracks fuse languages and traditions: Tamil vocals from South India, Hebrew melodies, African soul, and Middle Eastern instrumentations. This is music built on connection — not just sound.
When asked about his mission, REX STAX says it simply: “I want to make people feel something. To forget the world for a moment and step inside a different one.”
With a remix EP arriving on December 19th, 2025 through Café De Anatolia, collaborations with emerging Afro House voices in South Africa, and a cinematic DJ video mix recorded deep inside the Sri Lankan jungle — his journey continues across continents.
For REX STAX, music is not a career.
It is a lifetime of cultures, voices, and memories woven into rhythm.
And the world is listening.
