You canʼt deny that the combination of the Mediterranean & the Middle East can add a glow to the world of house music. Vinyl Mode, having a combination of both (The Greek and the Saudi) are two disc jockeys and producers that have been formed in 2011. It was a milestone for both these music-enthusiasts when the duo was created…
Harris Mavromatis (The Greek) who lived in Montrealʼs vibrant EDM culture, played in clubs for 3 years and was hosted several times by Gabriel Batz (Ora Recordings) on the famous Montreal Mix Sessions radio show. Through this all, Harris have strongly developed his inner-calling of electronic music. On the other side, youʼve got Muhannad Nassar (The Saudi) who was an established DJ in the Jeddah underground scene, playing Deep and Techno, Together as Vinyl Mode, synergy was built; and the harmony grew as they played together… Team Work, enhanced DJ skills, technical mixing abilities, right track selection, niche crowds, trained listeners, house music groovers, made them reach top levels of prominence in the Saudi Arabian underground scene.
