A rather typical day after school was to become a life changing experience. A dusty radio cassette player was spotted in my grandmas house in Scotland. Casually playing around with the radio stations it was legendary beat 106 that did the magic. The euphoric trance melodies touched my virgin ears and a creative orgasm lit my inner parts. Music class at school was my first contact with a synthesizer while at home i began experimenting with dance ejay and spending my pocket money for cassette tapes recording radio shows. Then came my first cds in the likes of cream complilations and gatecrasher classics . Later it was global underground albums then way out west and Best fm in Greece. A lust for seeking something deeper, something stranger more expressive yet so esoteric emerged within me. In our society of mass compression, music from the underground was my tunnel of escape. Deep hypnotic, rich with melody and epic drops always gave me goosebumps and all those endless bedroom raves. Despite my excessive thirst for electronic music it was not until a couple of years later when i met up with Stel (Stelios Vassiloudis-Bedrock Records) that i was able to express deeply my love for electronic music. Having a pro guiding me into producing and mixing was heaven scent. After a couple of ecstatic lessons on how to mix properly and many back to back sessions i was straight into a shop in downtown Athens buying my first cdjs and setting them up in my family's basement. From that moment on i became more and more confident with my dj skills and the first gigs took place in the following months. In 2008 i was invited at Sziget festival in Budapest. Sets have been hosted on Dave Seaman's website and Dieb Audio radio show. In 2015 i started the monthly podcast 'Intersections' aired on mixcloud.
