One of his Demo Compilation Mix CDs gets recognized as one of the Top Readers Mixes in IDJ magazine UK The comments regarding his Set are as follows:

”Despite being a successful DJ in Greece, (even owed his own Club which he sold to move to Blighty) for many years, Alexandros has yet to realize his ambition to get things going in the UK. Funny that because this Deep Progressive Mix has got the lot! Mixing’s as tight as a gnat’s proverbial, it builds like a bastard and the tune selection is nigh on faultless. So promoters give this man the break he needs now, you will not regret it.”
INTERNATIONAL DJ MAGAZINE (IDJ) MAY 2001

These comments plus a demo compilation cd got the attention of Greek promoters (Bullet S.A & Detox Promotions) and booked him for a sponsored by CU Panafon Promotion tour in 14 Clubs around Greece
