Matheos

Matheos' eclectic and modern approach to energizing original productions and remixing has made a unique niche in the genre of electronica and dance music. Whether it's twisting classic sounds with modern beats, or updating past legends with fresh remixes, he creates a unique vibe for the dancefloor and the lounge scene.

Born to a Greek mother and an Irish/American Father, Matheos has had the benefit of being raised in various places around the globe, such as Texas, Germany, Crete, Italy, California, France, Ohio, Thessaloniki, and New York, which is what has led to this new eclectic and worldly method of production and remixing. Being exposed to many different environments and cultures has had an impact on his music and creative process.

After high school, which is where he started Djing at school dances and outdoor events, he went on to college at 17 in New York City at Parson's School of Design. For the first year in NYC he was a regular on the show Club MTV, which allowed him the opportunity and exposure to such diverse artists as Big Daddy Kane, Sheena Easton, DJ Easy Rock, Souxie Soux and the Banchees, The Dead Milkmen, Information Society, Samantha Fox, to name a few. His second year of college was spent in Paris, France, where he immersed himself in the European dance scene of the late 80's. He then came back to New York City to finish his degree at Parson's and upon graduating, he landed a high profile design job in Munich, Germany. After 4 years there, he came back again to NYC to work for Tommy Hilfiger. Coming back to NYC is when he started to pursue his production and remixing passions in the studio.

Matheos' first project was producing an original album fusing opera and electronica. During this time he also started working with the Greek-Cypriot singer, ALEXIA, producing 3 new original tracks, and remixing her retrospective CD.

On the remix front, his first project was remixing ANN MARGRET's remix project, which was used for her North American tour. After doing a remix for MERV GRIFFIN in L.A., and upon Mr. Griffin's suggestion, he was inspired to compile a remix project entitled, 'REVIVA VEGAS', which includes remixes of Vegas legends such as Sammy Davis Jr., Dean Martin, Frank Sinatra, Cher, Freda Payne, Peggy Lee, Wayne Newton, Tom Jones, and Liberace.

Matheos continues to branch out on various projects such as his new 'GREEK TRAVELS' album, which fuses ancient Greek instruments and elements with modern electronica, 'Electro-Mythology'. Also in the works is a Greek remix compilation titled 'HELLENIC FLAVA', with modern club remixes of such famous Greek artists as; Haris Alexiou, Marinella, Aleki Youvouklaki, Despina Vandi, Anna Vissi, and Elli Kokkinou.

His productions and remixes have been played in clubs and lounges around the world such as London, Mykonos, Munich, Los Angeles, Athens, New York, Miami, Paris, and Las Vegas. Matheos is deeply involved in the worlds of Fashion, Art, and Music, and will continue to gel and fuse in new ways the broad arena of global culture.
