Athens - Greece

Lamia, the hometown of dj Tim, is a small city lying in Central Greece whose youth soon developed an interest in electronic music, though the city lacked in clubs and leading local artists. Efthimios Efthimiou, born on the 2nd of April in 1978, was one of those -eager to explore new music paths- teenagers, so at the age of 16 he started working as a resident jockey in cafes and bars and contributed to the dance awareness of his city.

“Few cared and even less understood what electronic music was about, but that never stopped me from involving. Quite the opposite. It helped me realize that I mostly needed and wanted to do this for my personal satisfaction...”

Tim then went a step further and promoted several gigs (without any special guest djs) in Lamia with the precious help of J. Stathopoulos and D. Laspia. And it proved to be a gratifying experience, which lasted 3 years and provided him the know-how needed, in order to proceed after the year 2000 into promoting some of the hottest dance events in Central Greece. His effort was strongly encouraged and supported by a fellow promising young artist, known as dj Sergi.

In the meantime, his skills as a dj became more and more appreciated by leading Greek djs such as G-Pal, Mikele, Christo Z and many more, who gave Tim the opportunity to play with them in prestigious clubs and massive parties. Moreover, he shared the decks with superstar djs such as Hernan Cattaneo, Anthony Pappa, Terry Lee Brown Jr, Danny Howells, Lexicon Avenue and others. “Music was a hobby to me. It kept me happy and that was all I wanted. I didn’t expect much more and I certainly never imagined that I would someday be playing next to Hernan Cattaneo!”.

Tim’s involvement into the Greek electronic scene, indeed, proved more effective than his initial intentions were. And it was probably his low profile, steady moves and true love for music, which led to his success and recognition after all. Being the proud host of his own two hour show in MCR 91.2 Central Greece Radio Station since 2001 should at this point be mentioned. During the last couple of years he dedicated the last hour of his set to numerous popular artists like Anthony Pappa, Tone Depth and Mikele offering his fans the best possible updating and entertainment, while some of his mixes enjoyed the hospitality of Emanuel Phaz Transport Show at eccentricbeats.com.

His gigs in important clubs across the country augmentative continued (Fuse, Luv, Gossip-Athens, Aqua Nova-Katerini, Red Room-Ioannina just to name a few and in Magique-Bucharest, Romania as well) and brought Tim closer to the legible Control team in 2004. In other words, he joined the roaster of the oldest progressive party in the Greek clubbing scene, whose basis is Athens, but systematically tours all over the country. That’s how he met Patra´s favorite dj, Freespirit and has been collaborating with him ever since.

But last year was a definite breakthrough for Tim regarding his professional evolution. He soon decided to leave the Control team and expand his horizons by enrolling into Trust Entertainment, the most demanding booking agency -among other things- in Greece. Working in the studio for his own productions is another step towards this direction and at the same time a creative way to express his musical maturity. David Kassi, Tim’s friend and partner, is an important factor in this effort and their first single will be out by Tony Mendez’s label, Inprogressive Recordings, while their first digital e.p. has already been signed at Samer’s Pangea Recordings.

2005 has brought Tim closer to the Athenian dance scene, playing at Luv Club with DJs G.Pal, Anna Maria X, Stel, Tone Depth, Christian Cambas and many more! Moreover, the work in the studio goes on and on, signing tracks to well established and fresh progressive house labels such as Helvetica, Behold, Acute and with massive support from various jockeys! Finally, the radio show guestings at various worldwide stations such as DI.FM and Frisky Radio are more than often and pretty successful!

The increasing interest in Tim’s work is undoubtedly a pleasing outcome possible to be strengthened promptly, since he only recently started devoting time and energy into the production scheme. The show has just begun…

Andi Vasilos, 24 years old dj/producer, was born in Greece. Has been following his passion for music and honing his talent for more than nine years. He has mastered the art of Djing and proven his producing and remixing abilities to some of the dance music industry’s most critical ears.

At the dawn of 2002, Andi started his recidency at Athen’s club MIRROIR which gave him the opportunity to play along with the best dj’s of the world and move on to the underground dance scene.

Two years later Andi Vasilos and Valandi Pangea co-found the Adult Music Greece, a sub label of Adult Music and collaborate with top German djs and producers like Mark Vision, Ralph, Taugher and many others…

Andi’s debut was marked with the release of Tendencies and Wicked Tribe with Valandi Pangea, an EP featuring Hiras & Danny Alpha at Influential House records, peaking the release promo charts at 6. There has become a huge demand for Andi’s remixes and so after declining a remix for Federico Epis with Dj Tim, he did a great remix for BP Zulauf – Petit mouche, which have been played by everyone!

2006 was a very good year for Andi, after the collaboration with Dj Tim, he did some good releases and remixes with his partner at Fiberlineaudio, Spinifex, Helvetica and Acute records. As a result Dj Tim&Andi Vasilos gaining respect in the electronic dance music industry.
