M. Stephano

Marino Stephano was a highly gifted Belgian music producer, signed to Fog Area Records, he was the man behind the project C.M along with fellow Belgian Crisci Mauro... Together as C.M they created some of the most beautiful trance music to date, most of which is almost impossible to track down these days.

Marino as an individual artist played a major role in many productions, such as Dream Universe, Eternal Rhapsody & L.T.A. - Strings of Love, and remixes of his solo work were done by the likes of Kai Tracid, Tandu, Kosmanova etc. At this point in history, the latter part of 1997, Marino had captured the attention of the whole trance industry, the future could have been so amazing...

but sadly...

In the Autumn of 1999 (not 1998) at the high point of his career, Marino Stephano was killed in a tragic car accident.

One of the saddest days in trance history, for family, friends, fans, and everyone at Fog Area Records, of which he was an integral part.

The classic tune we are featuring here is Dreams Harmony, in memory of Marino Stephano, we dedicate it to the memory of the man and to the label that brought his music to our ears, Fog Area Records, we thank you!
