Bio

My name is Thomas Andreas and I come from Thessaloniki, Greece. I first came in contact with music at an early age learning how to play the keys on a yamaha psr something keyboard. The theory was very boring so I did quit after 2 years but I did use some time in the weekends dusting off my keys. When I was 16 I first came in contact with some really basic software on music production that unfortunately was not so able to take me somewhere since it was a sampler really that u could record...stuff...live, no results really.

Fortunately for me, the software companies did evolve their programs, I first had ACID and took part in their AcidPlanet community, when i was able to pull out some basic drum and bass tunes. Communities seemed to suit me, so my big advance as a bedroom composer in terms of skills and ear training happened during my sectionz days, a great community with great people inside that offered very constructive feedback to whatever I did helping me getting better and better use of my equipment and also helping me determine what equipment I needed at what time. So my basic home studio almost got where it was needed to pull off some techno productions, liked by a few people.

At January 2007 and 25 years of my age, I founded my own digital label called Eighty Eight Recordings, with a few friends like klubb krayz, aniki and alex celler and new ones in the way like eimmot, axel karakasis, odessa soundfreaks, john karagiannis and paylipservice.

My Music could be tagged as techno, other times groovy and tribal, not hard though, and depending on my mood I do produce more deep, tricky, tech house stuff. I hope you enjoy my music. Thanks for reading.

MID NOV - FREE RELEASE on DOWNLOAD.COM !
"Hey guys, I started an account to distribute my music for free almost 3 years back...since then this account had my music streamed or downloaded 12.000 times, which i find it to be pretty amazing. I thank all the people that listened to my music in there, it’s really like my own sound diary and I am glad I shared it with you, felt liberating. So, I am uploading 2 new tracks in there, they would go to an album of mine but I splitted it in various ep’s for the near future. You can consider those 2 as a free ep, named after what ever u choose. Enjoy, thank you."
