バイオグラフィ

  • Greek born, Angelos’ (formerly known as Dj Angelo) first ever encounter with dance music and DJing took place at his uncle’s discotheque. He was barely 5 years old at the time.
    Entirely enamoured with the art of mixing by his mid teens and fuelled by the access a local bartending job afforded, Angelos began buying records and practised incessantly. Within 18 months, he was earning a living as a professional DJ. Angelos’ debut DJ gig took place at legendary clubbing institution Mamacas in 2009. This led to a 4-year residency at the lauded venue and firmly anchored a lifelong career in music. Angelos was inspired early on by soon to be DJ luminaries such as Black Coffee, Culoe De Song, Manoo and Atjazz who were championing a soul stirring, Afro house sound which has gone on to captivate dance floors across the globe. In 2005, Angelos joined forces with his now manager and sibling Gio to launch Global Fantasy with the aim of bringing international DJs and artists to tour and perform in Greece. In 2009, an ingenious invitation brought the then virtually unknown Black Coffee to Greece for one of his first ever shows outside of South Africa. The brothers and Black Coffee forged an indelible connection almost instantly and they went on to play a vital role in growing Black Coffee’s European fan base by hosting an annual tour to Greece for 10 consecutive years since 2010. In little more than a decade, the now three-person Global Fantasy team has become one of the continent’s most respected, well known industry touring brands. As co-founder of Global Fantasy, Angelos has hosted and played alongside the world’s finest Deep and Afro-House DJs including Black Coffee, Culoe De Song, Manoo, Djeff, Zepherin Saint, Franck Roger, Rocco, Boddhi Satva, Osunlade, Jose Marquez and many more. In 2011, spurned by his unrelenting music passion, Angelos ventured into studio and began producing. Initially churning out edits and bootlegs, he honed his producing skills for two years before unveiling his debut single "Let The Music Play" in 2013. Since then, Angelos has steadily built a solid reputation with standout releases on respected house imprints including Tribe Records, Nulu and King Street. His superb 2018 EP titled "Black Sheep" on Connected Frontline garnered widespread support from the likes of industry heavyweights Dixon, Black Coffee and Danny Tenaglia, further cementing high regard from his peers whilst exposing him to an ever growing audience. 2017/18 was a landmark period for Angelos with numerous and notable summer performances alongside Black Coffee at his Hi Ibiza residency, both Scorpios and VOID Mykonos, in Italy and across Greece. The period also saw him dazzle dance floors across the globe from Ibiza, London, New York, Miami and the Bahamas to Berlin, Bucharest, Kiev, Dubai, Cyprus, Beirut and more. Angelos has graced the decks repeatedly at Miami’s annual WMC since 2013, ADE in Amsterdam and showcases for Keinemusik, Watergate Berlin, Cavo Paradiso and alongside the likes of Dixon, Henrik Schwarz, Hyenah, &ME, Adam Port and more. 2019 was an astonishing year for Angelos as he made performance debuts in Tulum, showcased his talents in massive markets such as London, Amsterdam, Dubai, the United States and beyond. He was a regular highlight once more at Hï Ibiza all while releasing music heavily supported throughout the industry on Saved Records, Rise Berlin and Armada Deep. With much relief and hope for the future after the world was put on hold by a global pandemic during 2020, Angelos emerged reinvigorated as 2021 commenced with the unveiling of “Lost” a song collaboration between Black Coffee and Angelos and featuring talented vocalist Jinadu. As the opening track of Black Coffee’s recently released, star studded 6th album “Subconsciously”, and alongside further collaborations with the likes of Pharrell Williams, Cassie, Diplo and Usher, “Lost” builds slowly with lyrics about danger and the unending march of time, all the while keeping a constant rhythmic backbeat with synths and drums. Following release of the album, Angelos and Black Coffee also treated the masses to an official video for single directed by esteemed Parisian filmmaker Laura Marciano. Eye-catching and poignant, the official video for ‘Lost‘ centres around the everyday struggles of life in lockdown and the striking visuals are a perfect match for the melodic, emotion-tinged vibes of the track itself. “We wanted the music video for ‘Lost’ to be as visually evocative of the song as possible,” Black Coffee explained. “Something thought provoking that would urge the viewer to contemplate current circumstances across the globe but also convey the song simply but beautifully.” Watch this space for a slew of new releases forthcoming from Angelos on imprints including Saved, Connected and more as the year progresses. And with life slowly returning to normal, you’ll find Angelos once again dominating dance floors with his unforgettable sound and skill in a city near you this summer.
