Biography of Giorgos Gatzigristos | | | Moniker(s) / | Gatzigristos |
Giorgos Gatzigristos was born in Nijmegen – The Netherlands, and has lived there all his life. After a disappointing Saturday night in the center of Nijmegen, he got lost with some friends and ended up at the famous club Doornroosje, where one of the first Highland Beats label nights had already taken off. After that event, Giorgos interest in electronic dance music grew. He bought his first production equipment, and later on dived into DJ-ing as well.
On June the 2nd, 2004 Giorgos first record got released on the Dutch label of Darko Esser and Ger Laning (DJ LL): Wolfskuil Records. It was a split release with his mate, Piet van Dongen, and was the first step in producing music for the public. After releasing three records on Kompakt’s K2, he got in touch with the Manual Music family and felt right at home. This resulted in the grand performance of the Manual Orchestra in De Melkweg in Amsterdam. Around that time, Giorgos got his Masters degree in Management Science at the Radboud University Nijmegen. But music was his love, so he went for that.
Now, Giorgos is releasing e.g. on Bedrock, Channels Music, Manual Music, Wolfskuil Records, Snejl and Outside The Box. He is always building on past experiences – trying to create a hybrid sound that is universal.
Giorgos can be booked for Live and DJ performances. |
