NAME: PETROS MANGANΑRIS Born in Thessaloniki in 1979, Petros Manganaris is considered as one of the most promising talents of Greece's contemporary electronic music scene. With production work spanning many and diverse musical styles through his numerous aliases, Petros releases dubby techno & electronica as the "Echonomist", chill-out/downtempo grooves as a member of the popular "INFO" project, tech-breaks via the "The Scientifics" trio plus some quality minimal tech-house as half of the "Petter Pann" duo. With residencies at the Elvis Bar and Liebe.! club, Petros is famous for his groovy dj sets which incorporate the whole dance spectrum, from deep house to minimal techno, while his stunning and energetic live performances with his laptop and elaborate set-up are always received with excitement, expertly combining atmospheric rhythms with experimental and complex musical programming and pumping, crisp beats.

Dimitri Batsis (aka Dans Mon Salon) reveals his''living room'', his ''personal space'', publicly through the energy of sound since the early 90's. His affection and dedication to dance as well as other forms of music, is a relentless quest for purity. By his very nature, his steps on electronic music began with the purchase of a keyboard at the age of 12, as his relation to synthesizers and electronic devices of all sorts soon became a main need. Occasionally breaking through the limits of style and form, his dance affiliated creations are referential to his background: 80's, funk, soul, tech, hip, house, disco, breaks... A diverse blend where global and personal energies mix and match and eventually electrify the inner senses. His appearances and releases may involve vocals and instrumentation through his intrinsic involvement in collaborations and projects. From fashion shows to warehouse parties, Dimitri is an emerging talent, with a idiosyncratic taste on sound, yet so original. Read more on Last.fm.
