“Don’t believe the hype, Keep it real! "Hailing from the south side of Athens-Greece, Vangelis got recognized within the years through his music and hard work from a variety of respected personalities such as Mark Knight, Roger Sanchez, Martin Eyerer, John Acquaviva, Rainer Weichhold and more. No, he didn’t pop yesterday...Counting a career of more than 15 years in the music industry, Vangelis Kostoxenakis established his name as a producer under the Angel Stoxx persona and is undoubtedly one of the most successful and respected house/tech house producers coming out of Greece. His catalog counts more than 200 releases & remixes on top labels such as Toolroom, Kling Klong, CR2, Deeperfect, Hotfingers, Definitive & more and in 2011 topped Beatport #5 in 100 general chart and #1 in tech house genre with “I dropped my E on the dancefloor” (Hotfingers). Since then his music regardless if it’s under his birth name, Angel Stoxx or Breaking Toys can be found regularly within charts. Music is music...Vangelis is at best a tri-polar musical personality. If it's grooving and has funk he doesn’t care if it's techno or deep house. That’s why in August 2013 he released with Italian d:vision records a commercial deep house song. “Let Go” saw immediate success with radio stations, DJs and crowd showing their love while the song topped #3 in the International Top Airplay of Greece Chart, #2 iTunes (Greece), #4 in Shazam and over 1.7 million YouTube views. Having conquered several top places in national radio charts, it was only a matter of time for the track to make a success across borders, highlighting BBC Radio 1’s Danny Howards shouting out on one of his shows how dope is the track. Now is considered as a radio classic. Watch out for him and catch him play in a city near you!
