Dj Angelo
Athens
Greek born, Dj Angelo first ever encounter with dance music and DJing took
place at his uncle’s discotheque. He was barely 5 years old at the time.
Entirely enamoured with the art of mixing by his mid teens and fuelled by the
access a local bartending job afforded, Angelo began buying records and practised
incessantly. Within 18 months, he was earning a living as a professional DJ.
Angelo’s debut DJ gig took place at legendary clubbing institution Mamacas
in 2009. This led to a 4-year residency at the lauded venue and firmly anchored
a lifelong career in music.
Angelo was inspired early on by soon to be DJ luminaries such as Black Coffee,
Culoe De Song, Manoo and Atjazz who were championing a soul stirring, Afro
house sound which has gone on to captivate dance floors across the globe. In
2005, Angelo joined forces with his now manager and sibling Gio to launch
Global Fantasy with the aim of bringing international DJs and artists to tour and
perform in Greece. In 2009, an ingenious invitation brought the then virtually
unknown Black Coffee to Greece for one of his first ever shows outside of SA.
The brothers and Black Coffee forged an indelible connection almost instantly
and went on to play a vital role in growing his European fan base by hosting
Black Coffee’s annual tour to Greece for 10 consecutive years since 2010. In
little more than a decade, the now four-person team has become one of the
continent’s most respected, best know industry touring brands. As co-founder of
Global Fantasy, Dj Angelo has hosted and played alongside the world’s finest
Deep and Afro-House DJs including Black Coffee, Culoe De Song, Manoo, Djeff
Afrozila, Zepherin Saint, Franck Roger, Rocco, Boddhi Satva, Osunlade, Jose
Marquez and many more.
In 2011, spurned by his unrelenting music passion, Dj Angelo ventured into
studio and began producing. Initially churning out just edits and bootlegs, he
honed his producing skills for two years before unveiling his debut track "Let The
Music Play" in 2013. Since then, Angelo has steadily built a solid reputation with
standout releases on respected house music imprints including Tribe Records,
Nulu and King Street. His superb 2018 EP titled "Black Sheep" released by
Connected Frontline garnered widespread support from the likes of industry
heavyweights Dixon, Black Coffee and Danny Tenaglia, further cementing high
regard from his peers whilst exposing him to an ever growing new audience.
2017/18 was a landmark period for Dj Angelo with numerous and notable
summer performances alongside Black Coffee at his Hi Ibiza residency, Scorpios
and VOID Mykonos, in Italy and across Greece. The period also saw him dazzle
dance floors across the globe from Ibiza, London, New York, Miami and the
Bahamas to Berlin, Bucharest, Kiev, Dubai, Cyprus, Beirut and more. Dj Angelo
has graced the decks repeatedly at Miami’s annual WMC since 2013, ADE in
Amsterdam and showcases for Keinemusik, Watergate Berlin, Cavo Paradiso,
Black Coffee’s residency at Hï Ibiza and alongside the likes of Dixon, Henrik
Schwarz, Hyenah, &ME & Adam Port.
2019 was an astonishing year for DJ Angelo as he made performance debuts Tulum, showcased his talents in massive markets such as London, Amsterdam, Dubai, The US and beyond. He was a regular highlight at Hï Ibiza all while releasing music heavily supported throughout the industry on Saved Records, Rise Berlin and Armada Deep.
As 2020 rolls on, Angelo kicked off the year in Tulum before heading to a year-long run of shows throughout Europe, the US and beyond. Expect highly anticipated new music from DJ Angelo in the coming months.
