BIO BULP is an alter ego of Samo Štefanec, young electronic music producer, whose work represents a blend of melodic lines, punchy rhythms, melancholic and positive themes. He organically connects sounds from diverse sources and musical instruments with an emphasis on a strong melody, mainly influenced by Mount Kimbie, Moderat or Thom Yorke. BULP also performs his tracks live. Besides of a laptop, keys, percussion and various electronic toys, this performance includes own vocal, as well as the velvet voice of vocalist Jana Salvi. BULP received the “Newcomer Of The Year” award at Radio_Head Awards 2015 and the “Album of the year – Electronic music” award at Radio_Head Awards 2017, prestigious Slovak national radio awards. In June 2015 they released a single Far Light on Deadred Records / Starcastic Records followed by a debut Endian EP that came out in September. Both releases were very well welcomed in Slovakia and neighboring Czech Republic. In April 2017 they released debut album Yrsa, which was critically acclaimed by the music journalists as a release with world-class sound. In June 2020, Bulp released their latest EP by the name of Parvin. BULP je alter ego Sama Štefanca, mladého producenta elektronickej hudby, ktorého tvorba predstavuje zmes melodických liniek, úderných rytmov, melancholických či pozitívnych motívov. V hudbe organicky prepája rôznorodé zvuky a hudobné nástroje s dôrazom na silnú melódiu. Jeho zvuk je ovplyvnený tvorbou Mount Kimbie, Moderat či Thoma Yorka. BULP svoje skladby prezentuje i naživo. Okrem laptopu, klávesov, perkusií a rôznych elektronických hračiek používa aj vlastný vokál a zamatový hlas vokalistky Jany Salvi. BULP získali ocenenie Objav roka na Radio_Head Awards 2015 a Album roka – Elektronická hudba na Radio_Head Awards 2017. Na značke Deadred Records / Starcastic Records im v júni 2015 vyšiel singel Far Light. V septembri 2015 následovalo debutové EP Endian.

However “Yrsa” from Slovak project Bulp is actually an album like that. […] I’m very glad that a record like that was created in the heart of Europe. - Málokdy se stává, že vás některé album tak pohltí, že u jeho poslechu vydržíte od začátku do konce. "Yrsa" od slovenského projektu Bulp však právě takovým albem je.

.Týždeň April 2017 issue Bulp, a music duo constituting of producer Samuel Štefanec and his sister Jana, was quickly recognized as one of the most interesting names on the scene. Year after their newcomer award, they are coming with their debut album Yrsa. Compared to the EP it’s certain that there is a progress in music production, which is more monumental and hides in itself a lot more sound spaces. - Bulp, teda hudobné duo zložené z producenta Samuela Štefanca a jeho sestry Jany, sa rýchlo zaradili k najzaujímavejším menám na scéne. Rok po nováčikovskom ocenení prichádzajú s debutovým albumom Yrsa. Oproti EP cítiť jasný posun v produkcii, ktorá je mohutnejšia a ukrýva v sebe omnoho viac zvukových plôch. Radio1.cz Slovak producer Bulp (Samuel Štefanec), who is a big discovery of the electronic scene, performed as a support act for HVOB. He flew like a comet from the mycelium of label Deadred / Starcastic. His debut EP Endian released in September will definitely be one of the most successful works of the year 2015. - V roli predskokana HVOB sa predstaví slovenský producent Bulp (Samuel Štefanec), veľký objav elektronickej scény. Vyletel ako kométa z podhubia okolo sesterskej značky Deadred / Starcastic a jeho debutové EP Endian z tohtoročného septembra sa určite zaradí mezi najpodarenejšie počiny roku 2015. http://www.radio1.cz/clanek/novinka/4311-hvob-v-akropoli Hudba.sk The only representative of Slovak music in my top 10 of the year 2015 is a young and talented producer Samo Štefanec, who is hiding under the pseudonym Bulp.

AlterEcho Instrumental opener Dune is in fact an ideal enticement, which will gather attention to a work with radio ambitions (in its best meaning). (...) However the biggest surprise will come next. An electronic composition is being recombed by a sound of live violin and cycled with the actual sample mosaic. It climaxes in five and a half minutes in its mutual repetition and alteration of themes and loosely moves into that part of the EP, which surfs on the FM waves. - Inštrumentálny otvárak Dune je pritom ideálnym lákadlom, ktorý k počinu s rádiovými ambíciami (v tom najlepšom slova zmysle) pritiahne pozornosť. (...) To najväčšie prekvapenie však príde vzápätí. Elektronickú kompozíciu prečesá zvuk živých huslí a s doterajšou samplovou mozaikou sa zacyklí. Vo vzájomnom opakovaní a obmieňaní motívov vyvrcholí za päť a pol minúty a voľne poposunie do tej fázy EP, ktorá surfuje na FM vlnách. http://alterecho.muzikus.cz/altersfera/echolokator/echolokator-bulp-dune.html Musicserver.cz Bulp didn’t rush anywhere during the finalisation of the album [Yrsa] and so they achieved a balanced outcome on the record […] Thanks to an elaborate impact on listener’s imagination, “Yrsa” is worthy of the attention of all electronic music enthusiasts. - Bulp při dokončování [alba] nikam nechvátali a podařilo se jim natočit vyvážené album […]"Yrsa" si tak zaslouží pozornost všech elektronických nadšenců díky své) obrazotvornosti. http://musicserver.cz/clanek/56101/bulp-yrsa/
