Dimitris
started mixing with the help of his good friends Thomas and George in
1984 at "Disco Atomic" in Athens Greece. Within 2 years he,
and his 2 friends Thomas Katsaros (Sony Music) and George Siras (Kiss
FM Athens) took over Athens nightlife getting residencies and bookings
at all major nightclubs. Dimitris spent his summers in the Greek islands
spinning for the vacationing Europeans. The winters were extremely busy
for him between radio stations (Studio 99, Art Fm, Capital 96.5) and
nightclubs. After college he joined the Army and spun music in the island
that he was stationed at. His popularity grew even more when he was
transferred back to Athens with the service, and started spinning at
the Athenian nightclubs again. He continued spinning in Greece and in
the surrounding European countries until 1991 when he moved to the Bay
Area. He entered a turntablism competition at the "Talk of the
town " in Vallejo and after received second in the world DMC champion
to Q-Bert.
Pleasure
Zone Productions, Mixed Elements and Hotel Ibiza were the companies
that supported Dimitris. Dimitris consistantly throws some very successful
parties on his own, the biggest ones held at Ruby Skye and Hotel Ibiza
which attracted 800 to 1,300 people. He developed a large loyal following
and a large mailing list. He spun music for Local clubs like 1015 Folsom,
Rubie Skye, Ibiza, Decibel, Bass, Snowdrift, Rouge, NV, Forum the list
goes on and on. His ability of crossing over different styles of House
Music on the fly, has given him the reputation of always having a packed
dance floors no matter where he spins. He reads the crowd in a way that
only the old school European DJs used to back in the days. He was recently
voted as San Francisco's top 10 DJ two year in a row in a poll that
was held for three weeks on Nitevibe.
His
residencies at Pleasure Zone and Mixed Elements have brought him tremendous
success in this highly competitive arena. |
