Love Is Wet

This is a new concept night that me and mr.Z are bringing together at the Bios bar. There is also a new movement that we start with a few fellow djs in Athens’ finest low key bars and could have been called something like “spead the love” (in greek translation comes from our catch phrase “δίνεις αγάπη?”). When we use that phrase we mean that we dj records that are deep, sexy and emotional no matter in which genre they belong. As an example a “Love is Wet” tracklist might include:
1.James Blake – Limit to your Love
2.Pilooski – Love Is Wet (re edit)
3.Dreams – Fleetwood Mac (Soul Clap edit)
4.Mini Calcuta – Nico Jaar edit
5.Art Department – Without You
6.Bachar Mar – Kha Life- Oil Slick
7.Space Dimension Controller -Transatlantic Landing Bay
8. Anything from DOP
9.Anything from Arthur Russell and

10.Janet Jackson – That’s the way love goes

*However, the cool thing with this dj concept is that we mix the records in a way that comes natural to drop a slow but sexy and soulful r’n'b track even at 2 am. This means that even after a good 30 mins deep house mix mr.Z and I feel free to drop the “Limit To Your Love” track, (even on our peak time) slow down the bpm and let the people in the place to feel the love vibes…
Hope you can make it to Bios Bar on Saturday night and experience the whole thing.
