Ambassadors
I recently caught up with Antonis and Nick, two very good, old friends, they’ve been around since way before Napa’s hey day and I’d say they were a massive part of why Ayia Napa became the clubbing capital of Europe! It was so good to see them back, and with a vengeance !
Summer Vibes
They first met back in ’99 at the Summer Vibes Festival, Cyprus’ first proper Rave at believe or not, White Rocks at Governors Beach in Limassol. They finally decided to link up again in 2010, to create DJScyprus!
Local Talent
They launched DJScyprus as a platform to offer proper clubbing to the island and to boost the local Underground Scene even further. Their aim was and still is, to help promote local talent, working with about 100 resident DJs at this present time!
Sunset tribes Festival
Throughout the years they have organised various successful events on the island! In the summer 2017 they created an annual event called ‘Sunset Tribes Festival‘, which symbolises the official beginning of summer. This year on 2nd June the guys will be taking it one step further by adding International line ups to their agenda! Their promise to you clubbers out there, is that this year ‘Sunset Tribes Festival’ will be BIGGER, BETTER, BOLDER & LOUDER !!!
Sound Foundations
We chatted about the old days and it was cool reminiscing What’s On magazine, days when we interviewed Nicky P, who btw was the first DJ to introduce Acid House/Rave in Limassol CY way back in 1990. Oh and this guy has played at Soho, London, Nissi Beach, Ayia Napa and was resident in the house room at Castle Club for 8 years in the 2000 era, moving back to Limassol in 2009, he started a residency at Guaba. He has also played alongside many a top name such as Above & Beyond on the International circuit.
Pioneers
In 2010 Nicky P formed NN2 and became the sole agents in Cyprus for The Ministry of Sound on Tour.
Goa Trance era
Anthony started playing back in 1994 and co organised his first ever successful event in Melbourne Australia called ‘The Last Exit’, influenced quite heavily at that time by the beginning of the Goa Trance era! On his return to Cyprus in 1995 he tried to push that sound in various bars such as ‘Barfly’ in Limassol and clubs such as Hippodrome and Basement, Limassol
Oz to Napa
In 2001 Antony broke away from the mainstream and started playing Tribal House and Progressive with promotions like Fire Island at venues like Club Memphis and various other Beach Parties around the island! In 2004 he played alongside Terry Francis resident @ Fabric Club, London an event held at Basement Club and in the summer of 2005 he played alongside Dave Mothersole from Swag Records London! He was also one of the Napa square’s residents, 2001/3 at X-Bar in Napa.
Underground Production Duo
Los VetaranosCy, aka Los V
In February 2017 the Boys decided to team up as a back to back DJ duo, but also focusing their attention, ideas and knowledge in their newly built studio! They teamed up with Marios Charalambous, aka Martech, discovering new production techniques and generally having a bit of fun too! Now they are aptly called the DJ and Producing Duo Los V, aka X.t.a & DJ Nicky P, specialising in all the spectrum’s of Underground, House, Progressive and Techno music!
Los V are looking forward to the summer ahead where they will be performing alongside some of the best local talent Cyprus has to offer and international acts such as Sébastien Léger, NUSHA and more TBA, I could tell they were excited! 😉
