DJ Andrew - K Bio

Born and raised in Thessaloniki, Greece, Andrew has shown his interest in music
since the first years of his life. In an early age, he takes up piano and theory courses.
International music, as well as collecting records have been amongst his first hobbies;
therefore it was only a matter of time to express his interest in mixing and djing. The
first exposure to the crowd came through his friends’ birthday parties and small
underground private raves.

To move things to the next level, he gets involved with composing and starts
producing his own tracks, which caught Dj Leoni’s interest, who later signs Andrew
to his label, Underground Lessons Recordings. Operating as a management agency as
well, Underground Lessons helped him to make his way to the first proper-organised
gigs, and attract public attention. Starting from local bars and smaller clubs, as well as
joining Leoni to his weekly radio show, makes him enter a new phase in his dj career.

Although his track ‘Reflections” which was originally signed with ULR never sees
the light of release, the same label signs and releases “Inception EP”, which was the
first product of Andrew K’s collaboration with Simon Oates who hails from the UK.
Featuring three original tracks which range from chiller beats to trancey patterns, their
EP is getting aired at most of the local and internet radio stations.

It is that summer when Andrew K makes it into the top 10 rank for new talent djs, in a
competition run by Global Dj Broadcast. His set is selected through hundreds of
entries from all over the world and makes a big impression. The man behind the
contest, Markus Schulz, said for Andrew: "G.Pal has some company in representing
Greece. This set was chalk full of energy. Nice mixes and a solid tracklisting to boot!"

From now on, his sets are hosted in the biggest greek and internet radios,
(Protonradio, Eccenticbeats, Global Dj Broadcast, Safari FM, Dance Nation and
Di.fm to name a few) while he also appears as guest dj to a variety of events all over
his country, Greece.

Spending endless hours in the studio, either alone or with his partners Simon Oates
and Simuck, leads to the creation of many tracks that easily get signed on
international labels. At that point, “Jataka”, falls under the attention of Markus
Schulz. This track was intended to be released on Underground Lessons, but Markus
had something else on his mind. He spends a massive amount of time online with
Andrew, helping him to improve the track. He makes the final arrangements and
includes it in his mix compilation “Coldharbour Sessions”, released on Armada.
International recognition came along, and more labels sign Andrew for his
productions and remixes, as well as well-known djs license his tracks for mix
compilations.

At present, Andrew continues providing the dance scene with new productions and
remixes, as well as playing in major events. In the meanwhile, he operates as A&R
Manager for Pure Substance Records. Still in a young age, with an impressive
discography in labels such as BluRoom, Nascent, Armada and more, he definitely
makes a name to keep an eye and ear open for.
