Tricky Pandonis is no doubt one of Greece's hottest exports. Recognised for his ability to destroy dance floors with a unique blend of banging, euphoric tracks that push each House genre to the limits.

Born Christian Pandonis, in Epsom, Surrey of England, UK, he started his dj career in 1992 at local radio stations and friends' house parties in Corfu, Greece. As he recalls "Back then, the House scene was evolving, but still very hard to find quality House records, so, we set up radio antennas in order to receive music programmes from other countries, made up our own cables and started recording on metal tapes. The tracks were full of horrific hisses and full of Italian radio jingles, but we had something!"

After a short while, Tricky joined Star fm 88.8 and rocked the island every weekday, mixing with tapes, borrowed vinyl and cd`s.Sometimes he booked in 6 hour sets full of House, Trance and Euro. The tracks were ahead of their time and as underground as it got.

Local bars and clubs in tourist resorts soon took in the young dj, which had to please many different age groups and all musical tastes from around the world. "Scandinavians, British, Greek, Dutch were all united together, under the influence of the power of dance music, the feeling was fantastic" he says.

After Tricky`s obligatory army service in the Parachutist regiment, next was the return to his country of birth and he lived in London. The Hard House scene was booming in 2001 with club nights like Just Groove in Club 414, Fevah and Fahrenite delivering the vey best tracks and vibes across the capital. Tricky became a regular face, always by the dance floor, checking what worked and what not.

One year later, Hard House Nation`s resident dj and promoter Sunny, flew Tricky over to Perth, Australia, were Tricky proved that he was made for delivering uplifting and energetic chaos. The first autograph was signed..

Since then Tricky has run a numerous bars and clubs around Europe and recently moved to Norway to be with his beloved son Sebastian,9 years old , a quarter Greek, a quarter English, half Norwegian and 100% little nutter!

Tricky, after taking a break from running nightclubs, has devoted his spare time to setting up his own Deejay & Bar services company, spinning uplifting House around Scandinavia and music production.
