Musical since the age of seven, Jeff Montalvo actually grew up playing the drums and making punk music. He played with many bands but eventual frustration with band members and delays in the music making process caused him to strike out on his own and experiment with electronic music. As he began to take his craft more seriously and release music, Montalvo chose the name Seven Lions, which was taken from the children’s book “Latro in the Mist”.

Seven Lions really began making waves in 2011 when he started releasing remixes of artists such as Delirium, Above & Beyond and Paul Van Dyk. One remix of “You Got to Go” by Above & Beyond went to number two on the Beatport Dubstep Chart. This track won the DJ a lot of attention and he was soon signed to Skrillex’s OWSLA label to release his first EP.

This EP was “Days to Come” and it quickly shot to the number two spot on the iTunes Dance Chart, went to number one on Beatport and was a top 10 hit on the Billboard Dance Chart. After Seven Lions’ work received radio airtime from DJs such as Britain’s Zane Lowe, the DJ’s profile elevated substantially.

In 2014, Seven Lions’ star continued to rise when the DJ released his third EP, “Worlds Apart”. The record went to number two on the US Billboard Dance Chart and the single of the same name hit the 141 spot on the UK singles chart. The “Worlds Apart” EP featured singers Ellie Goulding and Kerli, with the tracks focussing more on the content of the song rather than the beat itself.

Seven Lions claims to be influenced by Viking metal; it is a style that he listens to frequently and that inspires him. A regular performer at festivals, Seven Lions has made DJ appearances at SXSW, Electric Daisy Carnival, Electric Zoo and Ultra Music Festival, amongst others.

Initially, Stanzack made a name for himself with his drum’n’bass project Ewun, in the mid 2000s. Ewun’s bass heavy, hip-hop sampling style found Stanzack early success, as he found himself releasing singles on labels such as Evol Intent and Barcode, as well as contributing to various compilation albums.

After gaining recognition with his first project, Stanzack created Kill the Noise in 2008. Under his new moniker he took a fresh approach to electronic music, focusing on a range of Electronic Dance Music styles, such as Dubstep and Moombathon.

He released his debut album as Kill the Noise in 2008, titled “Kill Kill Kill”. The album featured mainly dubstep-influenced tracks which were popular on dance floors around the country.

Following on from “Kill Kill Kill”, Stanzack remixed various tracks, such as Kanye West and Estelle’s “American Boy” to much aplomb, before collaborating with producer Jon Gooch on Mau5Trap release “Big Adventure”.

In 2011, Kill the Noise showed his versatitlity when he worked with American nu metal band Korn on their album “The Path of Totality”, contributing to two tracks on the project, as well as performing with them on TV for “Jimmy Kimmel Live”.

Stanzack released his second Kill the Noise album, “Black Magic” in 2012 a speaker melting unashamed EDM era dubstep album, much to the delight of his fans. More recently, he worked alongside EDM superstar Skrillex, on the title track for his album “Recess”, which also features MC Fatman Scoop.

Stanzack also co-owns Miami based Slow Roast Records with DJ Craze, a label that is run in conjunction with DJ A-Trak’s Fools Gold Records
