My relocation to Northern Europe marked a shift from regular all-nighters behind decks in my hometown bar scene, to sets in festivals and events in Copenhagen and Brussels.
However, I do lolve residencies and web radios are a great place to explore them. Safe but mostly, sound.
Nervous because it is impossible stick to one genre or style for long.
Tribe because that's what it feels like surrounded by records, other people and their records, and people dancing to our sounds.
Currently resident DJ at Kiosk Radio (BE), Paranoise Radio (GR) and Radio Alhara (PS). 6 hours per month behind decks are recorded and shared on Mixcloud.
Foundation
Syros island
Got off the boat as a rocker but got exposed to all kinds of music, mainly while hanging out or playing at Boheme Del Mar.
It was in that tiny bar by the waterfront I first encountered and adopted the free approach in mixing and matching.
Labor
Thessaloniki
Starting from a monthly residency, reaching 5 nights of DJing per week.
6 to 8 hour sets on Fridays and Saturdays, no stardom, just music selection and trying to survive while at it.
Getting more involved with Paranoise Radio, organising free parties in uni grounds and squats.
