DA MIKE - Interview

Da Mike (Michalis Balios) is considered one of the most talented DJs in the House music scene in Greece.
He joined Global Fantasy in 2012 and has already collaborated with some of the best House DJs and producers in the world.
Shortly before his appearance in Vandal in Pyrgos, he answers some questions … to get to know him better!

Hi Michael ! Tell us a few words about yourself first … you are and you are called … 🙂

Good evening, my name is Michalis Balios, I was born and live in Athens, I am a member of Global Fantasy, which is also based in Athens, and I am professionally involved in Djing and music production.

How did music and DJing come into your life, when did you start your career and what were your motivations?

From a young age I started playing music and Djing, it was the natural evolution of things. As a professional DJ, I have been in the field for the last 5 years as I count a total of just over 10!

I have a particular weakness for Funk, Soul, Jazz and Ethnic listening.

All of these items have contributed to the sound I represent today!

In which category of dance music would you classify yourself? and what kind represents you?

My music is House my sound Afro, Deep.

Tell us a little bit about how you feel when you’re behind decks? tell us about this feeling … the feeling !!

Whatever concerns me does not enter the booth with me, there I am, the music and the people in the space to listen to me! It’s something that fills me, gives me the opportunity to channel my energy into the audience and I wouldn’t change it with anything !!

A few words about your future plans, what is your relationship with social media, the internet and what is your opinion about Vanilla Radio!

I am in a creative phase and I have already signed two music productions, which are expected to be released in the new year. I have accounts on almost all social media, it is one of the advantages of our time as anyone can easily promote their work.

Finally, I wish Vanilla Radio to do the same good and quality work, to support good music and to give a step to all professional artists.

Da Mike

CJ JEFF * Interview to Vanilla Radio

CJ JEFF - INTERVIEW

CJ JEFF, Nikos Zafeiris comes from Veria and has studied Sociology at Panteion but has never been involved in it professionally, in fact he is not involved in anything other than music.
He doesn’t like hurried and rough moves, and he believes that everything is gained gradually and those who make serious and measured moves step by step in the end are justified!

Just before his appearance at VANDAL in Pyrgos, CJ JEFF answers some of our questions… so we can get to know him a little better!

Hey Nick!
How did music and DJing come into your life?
When did you start your career and what were your motivations? and where did your nick name come from?

Hmmm, I’m not good at dating … it must be about 15 years ago when I started playing music, although I always remember myself being “addicted” to music. The nick name existed as JEFF and just in the process was CJ added?)

In which category of dance music would you classify yourself? and what kind represents you?

I think that especially today it is a bit inappropriate to talk about labels … it is better for people to come and hear you about all the sounds you present.
But tech House would definitely be a category you could join me in!

Tell us a little bit about how you feel when you’re behind decks? tell us about this feeling … the feeling !!

I feel like I’m in my natural environment, comfortable but also with enough stress!
I think I will never get over that for as many “flight” hours as I have …

Apart from DJ, you are also a producer and in fact very successful! Tell us a bit about the tracks you have released and the response they have from other DJs and fans!

It’s something completely different and definitely just as exciting, there’s always a bet if you’ll be able to tell and convey to the listener, in the dancefloor, how you feel when you write that particular piece.
When you do, it’s a really scary feeling.

You have ‘played’ in many stores in Greece and abroad, tell us a little about the differences in relation to Greece!

Many differences and many commonalities, I generally believe that every night and every audience is something special and that’s how I deal with them.

A few words about your future plans, what is your relationship with social media, the internet and what is your opinion about Vanilla Radio!

Travel, music, reading … these are my plans,
as for Vanilla Radio … you are the pleasant surprise, keep up the great work you are doing … Full Support from me!

LIVA-K * Interview on Vanilla Radio

LIVA K - INTERVIEW

Liva K (Livathinos Konstantinos) is considered one of the most talented DJs and producers of his generation. At just 22 years old, Beatport ranks him as the # 10 Best Nu-Disco Producer in the World for 2016.

Many of his songs have been released on various major record labels such as BunnyTiger, No Definition, LouLou Records, and it is not uncommon for great artists such as Carl Cox, Robin Schulz, Sharam Jey, Kolombo, Lost Frequencies, etc. to support his productions and play the pieces in their various appearances.

In 2015 he signed his official remix of Nina Simone’s ‘Feeling Good’ with Universal Music, while a little later the official remix was released on the No. 1 hit ‘Lost On You’ by Lp with Cobalt Music.

LIVA K shortly before his appearance at VANDAL in Pyrgos answers some of our questions … so that we can get to know him a little better!

Hi Kostas ! How did music and DJing come into your life?
As long as I can remember, I’ve been listening to music everywhere. In a cd on the walkman then, on the radio and I always liked to deal with it. DJing started a little later when I was growing up and I tried it and saw that it was really what I liked to do.

When did you start your career and what were and are your stimuli? In which category of dance music would you classify yourself? and what kind represents you?
I listen to house music more, I love nu disco because I like melodies and disco elements in music. I also like tech house music is more groovy more danceable for a night shop.

Tell us a little bit about how you feel when you’re behind decks? tell us about this feeling … the feeling !!
The most beautiful feeling really. Be back there and try to make the whole world have a good time, drink, dance.

Apart from DJ, you are also a producer and in fact very successful! Tell us a bit about the tracks you have released and the response they have from other DJs and fans!
I started production 3 years ago. It was just a “need” to give some pieces my own character or even original productions with my own elements. In a short time I have seen many artists such as Carl Cox, Robin Schulz, Lost Frequencies, but also well-known Greek DJs playing my own songs. It’s really a recognition and a terrible feeling to see that what you do has a response

You have ‘played’ in many stores abroad, tell us a little about the differences in relation to Greece! Tell us about your experience this year from Mykonos!

The main difference you can easily see is the need for people abroad to have a good time. They don’t have their face behind a cell phone screen, they drink and dance because they just want to have a good time. This is exactly how it is in Mykonos as the island is full of tourists. Unfortunately in Greece it is more difficult for the public to dance to electronic music, whatever genre it has, and it is purely a matter of culture and mentality.

A few words about your future plans, what is your relationship with social media, the internet and what is your opinion about Vanilla Radio!
Now that the summer season is over, I will start some parties in Greece, Cyprus and abroad and in my free time I will prepare new tracks for release. I forward all the news from my fb page, and all my pieces to the soundcloud. It’s easy for people who want to keep in touch with you easily.

Vanilla radio is really my first choice when I sit at home and I want to relax, open the pc and listen to something else, something different, depending on the mood I also choose the Deep or Smooth channel. It is one of the few radios in Greece that supports Greek producers, and promotes electronic music in the best way.

Costa, thank you very much and we only wish you success!
