Date of birth : 4/8/1973
Hometown : Athens-Greece

I was born in 1973 in a suburb of Athens by the beach. As hard as I can turn my mind back, it was @ the age of 5 that I started having "contact" with music through my family. There was a variety of sounds and styles coming from my family and thus I started selecting those that fitted my ears.
In the early eighties, several "electronic artists" as I call them, started influencing and guiding my inner self throughout the maze of music (Depeche Mode, Anne Klark, Kraftwerk, Prodigy, Massive Attack,etc...).
I started "mixing" @ the age of 14 @ some local parties held in houses of friends or even @ school proms. Mixing wasn't so common those days so there really wasn't a response from the crowd, but still it felt a little bit special to me than to the crowd.

1988: My first gig was held in a warehouse on Alimou Ave.(Alimos) with a crowd of 200 people(Techno & Acid House).
1989: My second gig was held in a downtown club of Athens, in 1989 @ Kraze Club on Akadimias Ave.(Techno mainly).

My style has change since I started mixing vinyl. Nowadays the sounds I like to mix are more Trancey & Progressive than house or tech oriented. It is the 21st Century that we've stepped into so the feelings have to be very UPLIFTING!!! ;-)
