Savas Pascalidis has been played over 10 times on NTS, first on 16 February 2014. Savas Pascalidis's music has been featured on 13 episodes.

Savas Pascalidis was born in Stuttgart/Germany in 1970. Inspired by his dad, a Greek DJ, and influenced by disco and early 80's music, he started his career in 1985 as a house/disco/funk DJ in several clubs in Stuttgart. In 1988 he turned more acid and new beat - what was quite popular back then. From 1990 he played the first weekly techno parties in Stuttgart and area and keeped spinning in many clubs. In 1994 he starts producing his own tracks. The first release was released on Affie Yussuf's label, 909 perversions - "The Power of music" and "Masterblaster", became underground hits.

On The Vienna cult label Loriz Sounds Savas released "Helter Skelter" a big underground hit which gave him a lot of attention by many Dj´s in 1997. Richard Bartz hears about Savas Pascalidis and puts out "Sugarland Express" on "Kurbel records" a big hit - licensed in Brazil afterwards. Success and popularity are growing with more and more gigs in Germany and abroad. In 1998 the track "Discotheque" released on the "Kurbel Compilation" comes out like a bomb. The remix of Richard Bartz hits the Groove Magazine top ten list in the category "best remix of the year" and the track is played on the dancefloors all over the world.

In 1999 Savas delivers a great outline of his musical abilities including references to his disco/funk roots with "Sexomatic" also released on Kurbel. End of 1999 Savas Pascalidis creates his own record label: Lasergun records, the perfect platform for this particular kind of music. "Stellar Funk" and "Disco Galaxy" open the way to many successful releases.

2000 is a very prolific year. Savas remixes Sexual harassment's "I need a freak" and Superastronaut's "Dancing in outer space" which is strongly influenced by the 80's. Three days of studio with Lab Insect end up with the ep "Venus" released under the name of "Universal Power". The "Cosmic Dancer" ep also comes out that year on Kurbel, after 12 months of hard work, offering a very well balanced mixture of Savas Pascalidis favourite styles 80's-disco-techno.

Follows a succession of carrying events. Savas hooks up with International Deejay Gigolo records and releases the "Space affair" ep that consolidates his growing reputation and makes him more and more appreciated by the crowd. He also produced remixes for Agoria and for Club MCM .

In 2002 Savas Pascalidis moves to Berlin. He releases the awesome "Galactic Gigolo" album on Gigolo records. The impact is amazing. His popularity takes off. Savas plays every week; he gets a residency at Polar TV in Berlin and Lasergun records is one of the references in matter of record labels. From January to April 2003 he goes on tour with Lasergun artists and plays in festivals such as Sonne Mond Sterne, Benicassim, Lowlands. and more. He makes remixes for Luke Slater, Water Lilly and Binge and Purge; selects the tracks for the first Lasergun compilation and works on a new album.

With such a career and a very promising future Savas Pascalidis is definitely one of the main figures of the contemporary electronic scene…
