-AKYLLA
Akylla was exposed to music at a very young age thru his parents love for music, mainly latin, jazz and rock as a teenager he use to receive recorded tapes thru relatives from NYC. These were tapes of weekend dance parties off the radio from Djs like, Jelly Bean, Frankie Knuckles, Larry Levan and others. It was these sounds and evolving mixing techniques that got him into this new form of music, later to be called House. 1987 finds Akylla in NYC right at the time were House music was exploding in Clubs and Radio. He got to attend & witness legendary clubs and parties such as Zanzibar, Shelter, Underground Network, Sound Factory, World, Save the Robots, Body & Soul and many more. His fond memories of this time is going out to all these places and then hunting down the tracks at local record stores. 1994 brought Akylla back to Athens with a mission to expose Athenians to that underground New York sound thru club and radio play. He collaborates with Magna promotion team as the resident dj and music director and later hosts a weekly show at Radio Energy. That results to the success of clubs and parties such us Million dollar Babes, G-Point, Cavo Paradiso, The Lab, Macumba, Paradizzio and others. Also sets the ground for international djs such as Frankie Knuckles, David Morales, Lil. Louie Vega, Francois Kervokian, Joe Claussell, Timmy Regisford, Kenny Carpenter to name a few, virtually unknown by most Athenians at the time to gain great acceptance. In year 2000 launches weekly parties under the name Breathe Deep Athens.
