Jannis Varelas aka Locke was born in Athens and moved to the city Chalkida at early age. His passion for music brought him back to Athens where he was introduced to the electronic music scene where he got involved organising events all over Greece and working with several labels.
Jannis moved to Berlin in 2007 and kept himself busy throwing underground parties such as Mangali with his fellow Siopis.
In 2011 he gave birth to the “MOVE” project, organising private parties in secret locations with secret lineups hosting names as Levon Vincent, Delano Smith, Vakula, The Persuader Live, Soul Capsule, Margaret Dygas, The Mole, Jef K, Mike Huckaby, Anja Schneider, Marc Schneider, Siopis, And.id and more. The success of the “MOVE” led him to create the “Voice of MOVE”, a weekly radio show broadcasted by Just Radio.
Since day one the “Voice of MOVE” has been associated with quality underground music and has created a big “family” of fans and supporters around the globe.
