Not much to say about the athenian DJ/producer and mastermind behind the Material Series.
''Mihalis Safras is concidered to be one of the most high-profiled artists and the most productive techno producer on the planet.'' (DJ Mag245)
He started his career by djing in 1997 to some of the most notorious venues in Athens (Berlin, +Soda, Umatic, Venue) the period when a new electronic age was starting. Quite soon and after many years of successful djing he recognized djing wasn’t enough!

Mihalis appears on at least a dozen 12-inches every year, establishing himself as one of world's most accredited producers through sheer will. The hard work has paid off in the form of releases on celbrated labels like Trapez, Great Stuff Recordings, Soma Quality Recordings, BPitch Control which had proven that he hasn't run out of creative gas. Furthermore he has collaborated for remixes on Ali Dubfire's 'Roadkill' and for a special mix on Britney Spears 'Breathe'.

Mellowing his style as times goes by, getting more experimental and spacey with a fresh style of his own, Mihalis’s production is destined to the wiser dancefloors and most of his vinyls receive international awareness by reaching into charts of the biggest DJs like Sven Vath, Richie Hawtin, Dubfire, Adam Beyer, Ricardo Villalobos and many more.

His astonishing discography and the friendship with the UK 'master' Mark Broom lead in 2006 to the birth of his own label and one of the best techno labels these days, Material Series. A smooth label built on the idea of releasing groovy club tunes with material names, all in coloured 12' vinyl. Material Series presents not only Mihalis' ideas on techno but also famous respected artists that included on Material roster. Also in mid of 2007 Material's 'sister' label, Playmobil, was born to embrace more melodic techno lovers.

DJ-wise, his trade relies on housey & funky techno or what he describes as 'techno combining the hard and funky edges of the groovy minimal'. Travelling and speading his tricky sound around the globe, from Yellow (Tokyo) to Avalon (NY) he becomes a milestone of the international techno circuit.
Once more expect much from Mihalis in 2010!
