DJ since the early 2000s, Chill made his debut mixing hip-hop for more than 10 years both on the radio and in club. 2011 marks a musical turning point for Chill, who opened his mind to electronic music after discovering this music through the big clubs in Europe. It was a real revelation for him and it’s in 2014 that begins his adventure within this movement. He’s the co-founder of the collective Closely who launched undergrounds parties in Strasbourg during 4 years. In 2018, he becomes resident at KALT. He likes to move the dancefloor with a nice selection of hypnotic and powerful techno.

Mic Meimaroglou's passion for electronic music began at a young age, sparked by his fascination with the synthesizer's analog sound. As he delved deeper into the art of music production, he discovered that synthesizing and mixing sounds provided him with a creative outlet for self-expression.

As a resident DJ in small bars, Michael's experimentation with various music genres expanded his knowledge and technique in mixing. In 2010, he released his first music demo under the alias "Aithale," which showcased his unique blend of electronica and techno elements.

In 2013 and 2014, Michael curated the electronic music program for the "Beach Street Festival," featuring both Greek and international artists. These experiences culminated in a milestone year for Michael in 2014, as he released his first music on 808 Recordings, Ntrop Recordings, and joined the music roster of Affect Recordings Munich. He also released on DMR Digital Italy.

In 2017, Michael launched USM Recordings with the goal of supporting the Greek contemporary electronic music scene. His music releases have been featured on various Greek and international media platforms, including BeatSelector, 5 Magazine, Electronic Groove, The Letter, mic.gr, and beater.gr.

In 2023, Michael co-founded ΣΥΝTHESIS, an electronic music artist collective platform based in Lesvos island, to inspire and expand electronic music around the island and beyond through events, workshops, conferences and screenings.

Michael's DJ performances are characterized by ambient and hypnotic techno patterns, with the flow of his sets influenced strongly by the crowd's mood and the sound elements that he follows.
