AP: My friends were calling me princess of clubbing cause I’ve always been a person who loved going out, having fun, dancing all night and spinning. A big magazine in Greece began reporting on my events and they too used that title to name the articles. I thought have begun to love it. So much that I now is also on my bio for my website (www.angelapandelis.com).

EM: How is Athens and Thessaloniki's nightlife compared to other cities you have visited?
AP: Both cities have great nightlife. Many bars, clubs and a huge crowds goes back home very early in the morning (we don't have limits in working hours). Compared to other cities and countries, Athens and Salonica are a little more tame with respect to dancing crowds. Greeks tend to enjoy more just listening to music while they relax and chat.
EM: What is your other favorite genre of music aside from what you spin?
AP: I love several different kinds of music apart from House music and a bit of RNB that I’m spinning. It depends on my mood and the occasion. When I’m driving especially at night I prefer lounge, when in gym, I get crazy with progressive and mellow techno, when in bed I enjoy instrumental and all time classics such as from Barry White, Frank Sinatra, Sade, even Andrea Boccelli...
EM: Where does your inspiration come from?
AP: From life of course and its good and bad moments. Inspiration also comes from my being a day-dreamer, I love making scenarios and scripts in my head and I wanna make them true. Not to mention that I’m too ambitious and full of energy to achieve more so, motivation turns to inspiration.
EM: Where is the most memorable place you have spun at?
AP: I've got so many memories from fabulous parties and places that it’s hard to pick one! Definitely I loved the party last summer in Space Mykonos, the gig also in Nikki Beach at Koh Samui Thailand (I was spinning and I was also diving in the swimming pool next to me!). Also the vibe and the excitement in my UK gigs are awesome (with the most recent in Nottingham and Leicester) and among my favorites are the parties in Chicago-we have mutual love with my crowd!
EM: What places would you like to DJ at that you haven't had the chance yet?
AP: There are many nice places and clubs around the globe, but for sure I would say Ibiza in Spain. It is one of my next 'targets'.
EM: What do you think is missing from the scene?
AP: I haven't thought about it ever!...I guess that sometimes I wish people were a bit more loose when they go out so that they have real fun. I mean, they don't need to think how expensive their outfit are or that they make impression and show off. They shouldn't also worry about what others will think about them and how they act.
EM: Some have thought of you as 'Superwoman' going from a mild manner reporter for Espresso daily newspaper in the daytime, to a club DJ at night. Is it difficult to balance these two?
AP: Not difficult at all, on the contrary, it is very easy cause I’m an entertainment reporter (for Espresso newspaper the past 10 years) and since my life is involved so much with night - like a vampire - I know very well how to report it! I 'm part of nightlife, I enjoy both reporting and spinning and that is why readers and nightlife businessmen like my reports and trust my opinion!
EM: How has your big experience as radio producer helped you as a DJ?
AP: Being on the radio on a daily basis on the biggest Greek stations, for a decade, I’ve learned a lot about music but what I learned more is having better communication with people which is important while spinning in clubs. You don't talk to them, you don't chat with them but you have to 'touch' their soul, make them feel the rhythm inside them and dance all night which shows that they are 100% satisfied.
EM: What do you want your fans to know about you?
AP: That I love to love, to be loved and being respected! Only that...
EM: What are your near future plans?
AP: My current priority is the success of my very first dance song 'Follow me' in Europe, USA and Canada. The song was released and the new video for the song has been shot and we should be done with editing it any day now. And off course my upcoming gigs around the world.
