Andi & Pangea
Valandi Pangea
Chrissovalandis Martinidis a.k.a Valandi Pangea was born in Thessaloniki (the second largest city of Greece) on 17 November 1983. From the age of two he lived with his family in Paris where they ran a small business. At the age of nine they moved to Aachen (Germany), where he became interested in music. At 15 Valandi started getting into trance, hardcore and techno.
At around that time he realized he wanted more than just listen to music and started experimenting and playing firstly CDs and later moving onto vinyl.
At 18 Valandi played his residency at the Liquid club in his home town Aachen. During his time at Liquid he built up a following and soon promoters started showing an interest. He was soon moving around the local scene and making a name for himself. The highpoint of this period was playing a large venue party with DJ Taucher (scuba records). Dj Taucher was impressed with Valandi and introduced him to and invited him to join the Adult music community. From that point on Valandi hasnt looked back, playing large venues all around Germany, Holland and Greece. Within a year ahead succeeded in gaining respect around the club scene as a star on the rise.
Valandi Pangea now lives in Greece where he cooperates with Andi Vasilos in producing music and they both became A&R of Monad Music. He is also working as a producer on 88,8 Music Radio (www.radio888.gr) in Serres.
His recordings Andi Vasilos & Valandi Pangeas productions, are getting heavy support from the likes of Djs:
Randall Jones (Bedrock-Renaissance) John Sinclair (Ministry of Sound), John 00 Fleming (Joof records), Jondi & Spesh (Loog Records), Kosmas Epsilon (Audio Therapy / Silver planet), Dj Taucher (Scuba Records / Adult Music).
Andi Vasilos
Andi Vasilos, 24 years old dj/producer, was born in Greece. Has been following his passion for music and honing his talent for more than nine years. He has mastered the art of Djing and proven his producing and remixing abilities to some of the dance music industry’s most critical ears. At the dawn of 2002, Andi started his recidency at Athen’s club MIRROIR which gave him the opportunity to play along with the best dj’s of the world and move on to the underground dance scene. Two years later Andi Vasilos and Valandi Pangea co-found the Adult Music Greece, a sub label of Adult Music and collaborate with top German djs and producers like Mark Vision, Ralph, Taugher and many others… Andi’s debut was marked with the release of Tendencies and Wicked Tribe with Valandi Pangea, an EP featuring Hiras & Danny Alpha at Influential House records, peaking the release promo charts at #6. There has become a huge demand for Andi’s remixes and so after declining a remix for Federico Epis with Dj Tim, he did a great remix for BP Zulauf – Petit mouche, which has been played by everyone!
2006 was a very good year for Andi, after the collaboration with Dj Tim, he did some good releases and remixes with his partner at Fiberlineaudio, Spinifex, Helvetica and Acute records. As a result Dj Tim & Andi Vasilos are gaining quite a bit of respect in the electronic dance music scene. Now his productions are getting heavy support from the likes of djs Randall Jones, Hernan Cattaneo, D-nox, Tyler Stadius, Matt Rowan, Terry Grant, Stel and many others…
