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.Navsi100.com "Stelsi Biography" 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.
