Steam Athens, is an infinitely more visible night-time option now than it ever was, for tech house and techno fans at least, having launched with a booking policy to rival techno and tech-house scene's leading players! That's why big name Djs , such as Radio Slave, aren't unusual in Blend nights. Last Saturday, March 12th, Radio Slave took over the decks of Steam Athens, along with Mikee and Manolaco, keeping the vibe going all night long. It was a very special event, because it lived up to the hype. The music was fantastic from start to finish, while the experience of being in the club was...carnivalistic!
Entering Steam, you would be surrounded by the sounds of Mikee and Manolaco, who warmed-up the dance floor for Radio Slave, who kept the energy levels high while still injecting his own personality into the performance. The crowd's excitement couldn't be missed, since everyone was into the carnival mood and the techno grooves. I hope you all enjoyed your weekend as much as we did!

By Mary Turner Last Saturday an unforgettable event took place at Steam Athens, leaving everyone who experienced it with the best memories a party could create! Warming up the place, Nick A. and St.M. filled the Steam with the first techno vibes of the night, building from an empty room, to a packed dance floor! More and more people joined us and by 3 o'clock, right before Fabio Florido took over the decks, the place was crowded. It didn't take long until the Steam was overflowed with sweat, shouting, arms and legs moving to the sound of Florido's techno and tech-house vibes! But that's not all of it! The night's undoubted highlight was when music stopped, and everyone- and I mean every single soul in there- sang “Happy Birthday” to Mikee, who dynamically took over the decks right after Florido, accompanied by a very special “Deep Phase” birthday cake. Last but not least, Jackals Tattoo was running a contest at the party, giving four people the opportunity to win piercings and a tattoo. Can you ask for more? Really, can you? From the intimacy of the venue to the friendly bartenders and the techno grooves, this was a night that will be remembered for quite some time!

Party by definition from wikipedia: A party is a gathering of people who have been invited by a host for the purposes of socializing, conversation, recreation, or as part of a festival or other commemoration of a special occasion. A party will typically feature food and beverages, and often music and dancing or other forms of entertainment. Tomorrow night, Deep Phase invites Fabio Florido, the young rising star of Minus to take over the decks of Steam changing the meaning of the word "Party", along with Mikee (Athens) , Nick A. and St. M. , to create an unforgetable clubbing experience for all techno clubbers (EVENT ON FACEBOOK HERE). Also the event is powered by Blend Athens, for the clubbers who just want to know!
Fabio Florido is a producer, remixer and Dj from Italy. Just like the rest of us, Fabio is a party-animal himself, having nightlife experience when he was a teenager. By 2011, when he made his first release, it became obvious that he truly was an "Alien with extraordinary abilities". Through his never-ending music search, he shaped his very own and very unique techno and tech-house style, that could make most Djs roam "WOW". After releasing many EPs and remixes, he soon caught attention by most of the BIG names such as Richie Hawtin, Luigi Madonna, Dubfire, Sasha Carassi and many others. It didn't take long until Fabio and his productions was the one to listen and dance to at every techno club around the globe! Will you be the one to miss this special Dj set? Probably not! Bellow you will find useful links about Fabio ;) Don't forget to leave your feedback.
