Stefan Hantel, better known by his stage name Shantel (born 2 March 1968), is a German DJ and producer based in Frankfurt.

He is known for his work with Romani brass orchestras, DJing and remixing traditional Balkan music with electronic beats.

[3] Shantel began his DJ career in Frankfurt, Germany, and was inspired by the audience reaction to Romani brass bands such as Fanfare Ciocărlia and trumpeter Boban Marković to infuse electronically tweaked Balkan Romani music into his DJ set.

[4] Shantel's 2007 album Disko Partizani departed somewhat from the techno sound of Bucovina Club, concentrating more on the music's Balkan roots.

[7] In 2011 he released an album with Oz Almog named Kosher Nostra Jewish Gangsters Greatest Hits.
