Monsieur M

allo, im Monsieur M. and here are a few things you need to know about me! I was born in Istanbul, 1983, but raised in Athens from Italian mother and a Hellenic rooted father! Weird blend huh? Unfortunately I had not an important influence in music by my house. But in House is where i got into! I started experimenting in mixing tapes at the first mini Hi-Fi my pop brought me. Various music genres and styles passed from me in order for me to end up somewhere. But the truth is that the music journey never ends! I was always trying to be in association with the upcoming trends but something happened in me when I heard Dr. Dre’s “Nothin’ but a G thang” (The Chronic – 1992), back in 1996. That’s was it! Hip-Hop and R’n’B became my shelter! By that time you could find me almost in every event, festival, concert, party or whatever that had to do with my favorite sounds and culture. Though I was always trying to impart my love and taste in music to the world, in 2001 i stand behind the decks of a local bar and I state myself as a Hip-Hop and R’n’B Dj!

From 2001 to 2006 I was hosted at Venues around Athens and Radio Stations such as Planet FM and Atlantis FM but also in big events such as “The Athens Tunning Show” (2006) and “Step In The Arena – Mc Battle Show” (2007) dropping a blend of Underground Hip-Hop, Fat Beats, Oldschool / Newschool R’N’B and today im acknowledged as one of the first Dj's in Athens, who spinned Hip Hop and R'n'B in Clubs! My name was also affiliated with the first official party organizing team (MAD G.Q.) that put Hip Hop and R'n'B Music in Athens’s Clubs… WORD! In 2006 also I co-created my own team (The Benjamins) and started throwing my own events in some of the best Clubs in Athens. As my pursuit in music grew deeper, my need for creation and creativity increased. Therefore I established a band called “Silent Forces” and and our only job that came to light was a mixtape with straight Underground Hip-Hop sound that found immediately followers in the Hip-Hop community! After one more brief stint in Hip-Hop and R’n’B i realized that the music i was so into it had changed a lot and it didn’t inspired me that much anymore! So I did a radical change and I focused deeply and exclusively to the roots of these sounds, such as Soul, NeoSoul, Funk, Rare Grooves and Underground Disco of the late 70’s and early 80’s! As one thing came to another it was a natural thing for me to get involved with House as well…

As i realized the effect House had on me and on people i assured that i have found my second shelter! Whether was Soulful, DiscoHouse, Jackin, Afro or whatever its was all beautiful to me… it was HOUSE! As i gained friction with House, I got a preference in DEEP, DEEP TECH and Nu-Disco and that i keep till now! As a clubber myself and really faithful in the clubbing philosophy (happy feeling and dance) i try to provide that music I would like to listen and dance to! I know its selfish but its really effective if you consider the recognition and the respect that i gainedfrom people around the world for my taste and my feeling in what I do! How I did it? Pure love and… Aw! Through my “MAKE YOURSELF LIKE… HOUSE” Radio shows that are hosted in numerous radios in Hellas and around the globe. (But mostly endless love for music). That’s why i sticked and joined DeepSoul Kollektiv. A collective of producers / djs and people whom aim is to make people go out, dance & have fun! ...to have a valid and widely supported reason strap their dancing shoes on and go get partied up from Athens to Germany, from Czech Republic to England, from Ukraine to Croatia and Slovakia where DeepSoul Kollektiv are participating in events and more! A team that brings artists together, collaborates with the local and national community and is also open to any suggestions and support by it’s fans! After all… dj’s and artists are nothing without the support and music is nothing without passion !!!
