MASTER TEMPO shooting the video "Lene gia mena"
MASTER TEMPO
MASTER TEMPO released their debut album called DOGGY STYLE in 2008. The group was formed in 2004 by PETER D and took its final shape with the inclusion of Zanis in 2006. Performing and producing pop/R&B hits as a solo act or with superstar collaborations, it wasn't until the inclusion of ZANIS's Rapping and top-dollar producing skills in 2006 that MASTER TEMPO became the hottest hip-hop act and a producing force to be reckoned with.
In less than two years they have already written-composed & produced hits & remixes for a diverse set of artists, from Greek Superstars Christos Dantis,Thanos Petrelis, Stamatis Gonidis, Christos Menidiatis, Nikos Vertis, Zafeiris Melas, Nikos Makropoulos, Kalomoira, Xryspa, Giorgos Giasemis, Kostas Karafotis and others to up & coming newcomers Aggelos Andreatos and celebrity top model turned singer Gogo Mastrokosta and Natali Thanou.
With their first album "Doggy Style" out and their productions & DOGGY STYLE parties in demand all over the country, the sky is the limit for Greece's dynamic duo.
WHAT ABOUT DOGGY STYLE?
DOGGY STYLE is the position in which dogs have their sexual intercourse (sexytime-niiice!!!). Other than that, DOGGY STYLE is the official Hip-Hop and R&B show hosted by MASTER TEMPO all over Greece. DOGGY STYLE’s success has led MASTER TEMPO to the top of Greece’s Hip-Hop artists, even before the release of their first album! The hot mix of MC-DJing, special video projections & sexy dancers that the party delivers makes even the non-believers of hip-hop believe.
Look out all over Greece for the hottest Party, MASTER TEMPO are doing it DOGGY STYLE!
ZANIS
Zanis grew up in Germany where he picked up his first Hip-Hop influences. When he came to Greece he
made his first steps as an MC in his hometown of Kavala, soon creating the hip-hop group Sidarta (1995).
The group quickly established it’s own unique sound, leading to their first record deal by the country’s
biggest hip-hop label at the time (Freestyle Productions/Active Member). For the next 3 years Sidarta
performed live all over Greece on their own & with Active Member and also released a number of tracks
included in various compilations. Feeling that the time for a full album had come, Zanis & Sidarta
left Freestyle Productions and released “telika se pio oneiro anoiko?” (“to which dream do I belong?”),
their first album, independently. A year after the release, the group broke up and Zanis went into
music production, studying music engineering at the same time. After a long list of collaborations
with several hip-hop artists he met with Peter_D with whom he worked with on several productions for
some of Greece’s top selling artists. Later on, and because of the great chemistry between them, they
created their studio/label called dB music and formed Master Tempo into their current status.
PETER_D
Peter_D is & has been one of Greece’s top DJ’s for the last 15 years. Living & working at the hottest
spots & parties first in Athens and later in Thessaloniki, he made a name for himself as the one to
call when you need the best. Feeling the need to crossover to the next level he co-created the record
label “4records” in 2003 with 3 other top DJ’s and was one of the very first contributors in the making
of the first DJ’s union in Greece called “Dee-Jay”. First with fellow spinner Dimitris K and latter
on his own, he created several hit productions under the “Master Tempo” moniker (including the massive
cover hit “panta zeis” with greek Superstar Leyteris Pantazis). Leaving 4records at the start of 2005,
he had already seen songs of his at the top of the charts, and his productions licenced to some of
the biggest labels in Greece (EMI, Planetworks, Legend & Alpha records). It was time for something
even bigger… And bigger it was, in the form of his partnership with producer/mc Christian Blazin a.k.a. “Zanis”.
Zani’s top-level Rapping skills where only surpassed by his talent in the studio, and combined with
Peter_D’s smooth flow and deft ear for success there was no stopping them. And stopped they haven’t!
They created productions & remixes for big name artists, made their own studio/label in the form of
dB music and created the hottest parties all over Greece (Doggy Style) in less than a year.
The future looks bright for Peter_D as long as there are more peaks for him to conquer!
MASTER TEMPO's PRODUCTION HOUSE & LABEL
dB music is the love child of Master Tempo. Their love of music that is! Feeling the need to infuse
some fresh air in the Greek record industry’s sound, they built their own studio and created their
own label. In the few months that this collaboration exists, they have already written-composed & produced
hits & remixes for a diverse set of artists, from Greek Superstars Sakis Rouvas & Leyteris Pantazis
to up & coming newcomers Annete Artani & Eya Mpaila to celebrity top model turned singer Gogo Mastrokosta.
Their ambition to become number one in what they do combined with the best ears in the business when
it comes to hit songs is an explosive combination, ready to set the Greek music industry on fire! When
you just need a tune you call someone else. When you need a smash hit, you call dB music!
