Yiannis 'John' Douskos aka Dousk is a great producer indeed! He just released an artist album called D.I.Y. a while back. I recommend to check it out. It's quality for all its 79+ mins length and easily one of my fav albums of 2005.

You're still doing your best to sell copies of his album, eh?

No, Dousk isn't B.I.G.

B.I.G. = Dimos Siavelis & Michalis Siavelis
Dousk = Yiannis Douskos

The mp3 you have is most likely 'B.I.G. - A Promise (Dousk Vandalismic Mix)', just mislabeled as what often happens with mp3s. Original Mix is 9:12 and Dousk Vandalismic Mix is 8:16.

Dude, you got me hooked on Klik Records too!

I just bought Nikos Diamontopoulos - A New Life on ebay for $3 today

Can you recommend some more deep house / house from the label? (i'm not really a fan of prog house)

Posted by GrimReaper on Dec-30-2005 13:25:

Hehe nice nice. I think after A New Life you got, the most housey release is Silicone Soul - Staring Into Space which got out on Soma in the UK earlier this year but was also released on Klik Records at the same time. Klik release has a wonderful case/packaging like all the Klik CDs, making them differ from the standard jewel cases.

I guess out of the original Klik artists, Nikos Diamantopoulos is indeed the most housey/deep housey one. His first album A New Life is absolutely brilliant but his second album Moments In Dreams doesn't quite get up there to the same level with the first but still is very good in its own way. Most Klik artists combine different Mediterranean flavoured styles on their albums from prog, and many kinds of house to breaks to ambient/downtempo with a hint of trance thrown in.

B.I.G. combines mellow prog and techier house with breaks and rather ambient material on Mindscapes. Acropod combines everything from ambient to leftfield to prog and drum'n'bass on Tales Beyond The Unknown. ION goes into the deeper house and prog territory with No Camera. Klik Records' label sampler One Nation gathers Greek artists of various styles and sounds on a double CD with magnificent results. Chris Nemmo took a mixture of house styles and breaks with a hint of prog on Forbidden Paths.

I don't really care for genres, what is what as long as the music is good. Check the klikrecords.gr site for more detailed info about the albums and audio samples.
