I was born in Thessaloniki, Greece back in the early 80’s. A city that was always considered to be the mother of all native rock bands. As many kids, back in the day, he was subjected to rock & heavy metal music. There really ware not as many options. People didn’t have internet back then nor cd players (Greece always was kinda “slow” in these matters). There was radio, tapes & old records that belonged to our fathers.

Having had a somewhat-normal academic education, I grew the appetite for some musical education as well. Inheriting a small yet properly rich 12? collection from my parents, I progressed into adulthood listening from ABBA to Thin Lizzy, Purple, Zeppelin & the Stones.

Around 1994 I was accidentaly tuned, in the transmission of Mtv UK. The early Davina UK Top20 days plus more and more shows introduced me to pop & electronica. It was around that year when Music for The Jilted Generation by The Prodigy came out… With their fast n#1 selling record, they did affect my opinion and perspective in music and changed my music preferences for good.

With no time to lose, I soon started to record all the latest tunes that were in the English charts, having conected my fathers stereo with the TV set. Tapes, tapes and more tapes were stashed in boxes, shelves and drawers. Later on came school parties, and since I had most of the top tunes around, before they hit the greek market, so I was quite popular as far as music selection was concerned.

My academic education abroad, exposed me to new styles of music, and soon after that came electronica. Clubs, concerts, festivals and radio all came down to what me is now.

After returning to Greece, in 2002 I began producing music and managed through earth, wind and fire to move my sound and djing outside my greek living room. In the early 2003, I founded Promise, a group of friends and not only djs. We had to many people, with too many roles within. Having thrown several parties under the Promise alias, around the city, things looked a lot brighter than usual.

In 2004, I came up with a “national” first, being the first ever DJ to spin in Pristina, Kossovo @ Spray Club. Soon after that, I was kinda discouraged and disgusted by the existing local scene and the people that were involved in it. Therefore the next best thing to do, was concentrating on my production.

Earlier that year, I met Pete Bellis - a “golden-boy” musician, over a music forum. We did came from different cities yet similar music backgrounds. In the beginning we exchanged mixed CDs and soon after that we decided to meet up. After several sitdowns and some more events together, the Undertide project was born. The Undertide project was mainly for of all kinds and sorts of different and somewhat acid stuff. You can still call it electroish, yet we did a couple of progressive house tunes as well.? I was kinda new into production, Pete the same, and after almost a year, we came out with a demo remix on 4mal’s - Twilight, that heavily supported by the guys as well as local and international DJs.

2006 was a great year for me and Undertide. It was then when Ewan McArthur of Bellarine Recordings, came accross our email and was really impressed from our stuff. He released most of the Undertide tracks. Most of these tunes were supported through playlists and charts, globally.

Things were doing great, and somehow the got better… In early 2007, a great friendship blossomed to a great music partnership. One of my truest friends inside and outside of the music realm, Kostas “Kaik” Kaiklis proposed a collaboration. Right then and there Filthy Cojones were born. We did manage to come up with plenty of ideas, but the Greek army obligatory service (12 months), took their toll on me and everything around me. Just before hell brake loose, Bit Records (MX) and Place Blanche Recordings (FR) entrusted me with remix work for Curtis & Dakota’ - If You Loved Me and Greg Kozo’ feat. Esteban Garcia - Paris City, respectively.

After I finished my army obligatory service, I found it hard, not to make music. Same mind, different approach! I hope you enjoy it as much as I do.
