Популярность своих выступлений Parov Stelar Band приписывает не только к профессиональным музыкальным данным солистов группы, но и самому названию. Иностранцы думают, что за словами Parov Stelar стоит что-то чисто русское. Русские думают, что это придумал иностранец, который “плёхо говорить по-рюсськи”. Кто-то может подумать, что это искаженное «pare of stellar». Пока все что-то думают, сам Parov Stelar хитро молчит. Маркус, выдумавший себе такой загадочный псевдоним, не спешит посвящать посторонних в ход своих рассуждений, делиться подробностями творческой кухни и уж тем более открывать дверь в личную жизнь.

Parov Stelar - псевдоним музыканта Маркуса Фюредера, лидера одноимённого музыкального коллектива из австрийского города Линц. Особенность их музыки состоит в разнообразном соединении джаза, хауса, IDM и даунтемпо. Привнёс в электро-свинг не перемиксованные в семплах композиции, а новый, живой звук, взятый именно из записей игры на инструментах.

During the '90s, Marcus Füreder DJ'd in nightclubs, which led to production and label operation. Under the name Plasma, he released the 2001 album Shadow Kingdom on his Bushido label. A few years later, the Austrian first used the new and more lasting alias Parov Stelar, the name credited with an impressive quantity of recordings released during the 2000s and 2010s, primarily on his Etage Noir label. His "electro swing" sound, enhanced with clever sampling, proved to be popular in the compilation and DJ-mix market, including Stéphane Pompougnac's Hôtel Costes series. During the mid 2010s, Stelar took home several Amadeus Austrian Music Awards, including a trio of them in 2013 for Best Electronic Act, Best Live Act, and Best Album, the latter for The Princess. The Parov Stelar Trio and Parov Stelar Band continued to tour extensively and performed at festivals such as Glastonbury and Zurich OpenAir. Stelar linked with Island for 2013's The Art of Sampling, his second album to peak within the Top 10 of the Ö3 Austria Top 40 chart.

Over the years Parov Stelar has meticulously sampled, remixed and referenced some of the most influential sounds of bygone eras, injecting them with a new lease of life and bringing them into modern times. It has become the definition for a certain style, a certain sound, THE Parov Stelar sound. Undeniably unique, countlessly copied but never equalled. He was the gentleman of electro-swing, the soul brother and the phantom of the disco, but now, Parov Stelar is simply himself. Three years after his last album, Parov Stelar returns to the world he created with “The Demon Diaries“, his sixth album.
