The acropolis in athens

Above is the centerpiece of it all, the acropolis –

If ya get to head out to Athens, I’m sure you’ll visit there…

Our gig was held at this massive “Miami-esque” spot right by the beach, by the homies O.T.B. aka billy / The unexpected / and Sthathis aka DJ Noiz . Shouts to them for bringing me out and showing me around! Thanks to the rest of the cats who showed me around… one cat in particular I can’t remember his name right now cause I’m wack… he was like a tour guide and what not, new all the history ;) – ahh yes, his name was john aka el gato negro. Thank u for being the tour guide for you’re great city!

I found this jem on vinyl. The Prize goes to the person who comments what original sample is on this one…

Spinnin in Athens is a different experience then the usual as far as djing goes.

For example – DO THE JERK – New Boyz is a WAY BIGGER CLUB BANGER THEN EMPIRE STATE OF MIND. I kid you not.

You have to play without pretense, because they don’t have any prejudice when it comes to music, they just want to dance…

So for example, pop champagne – you can still play that. Higher bpm, keep’em moving.

Alright my readers, make sure to make Athens one of your next stops ;)
