Summertime in Athens..

..to me means cocktails by the pool or by the sea, listening to some subgenre of house music.

This year Deep House and Nu-Disco are all the rage.

If you ask me, it was about friggin’ time.

For the past year I’ve been posting to FB all the little gems that I was coming accross, but then I realized that FB is useless when you need to actually keep track of what you are posting.
So I’m starting a series of posts here that will do the same thing, but hopefully keep things more organized. It took me a couple of days but I have managed to cover what has happened these last 12 months. Here it goes:

NuDisco & House Mix, April 2013 by Dimitris Dimitrakoudis on Mixcloud

It is indeed rough, done with no preparation and no PFL, so be lenient.. 🙂

UPDATE!

Here is part 2 of the mix:

Duke Dumont feat. A*M*E – Need U (100%):

Aeroplane, Compuphonic, Mario Basanov, Perseus, Goldroom

Better late than never… This is loads of fun!!! Aeroplane August 2012 Mix:

Plus the first track from above, it is just amazing: Compuphonic – Sunset (DJ T. Remix)

Moving on: Mario Basanov – We Are Child Of Love

Another excellent track: Perseus – Seychelles

..and Friendly Fires – Hurting (Tensnake Remix)

Going back to Perseus, he put out an awesome EP about a year back, the Russian Girlfriends EP. It is just excellent. Listen here:

Finally, we have Goldroom. These guys are great at remixing. Check out this classic track:

The Magician, KeeMo

While everyone is going batshit crazy over Gangnam Style, I am re-discovering The Magician. This is the guy who made Lykke Li’s I Follow Rivers a huge hit last summer.

He has a lot of original stuff as well as remixes, but he is best known for his Magic Tape series:

One of his tracks stands out to me: Memories

Plus we have a Greek track that kind of stands out: KeeMo feat. Cosmo Klein – Beautiful Lie
