Having spent most of his professional music career behind a computer screen, a mixing desk or a pair of turntables, the Athens based musician, producer and DJ has been putting in work since the mid-90s in seminal labels such as Nice Up!, True Thoughts, Cookin Records, Good Looking, Pork Recordings, Shadow Records and Instinct Records. Blend Mishkin (aka Giorgos Mantas) began playing the electric bass at 15 and a few years later landed his first record deal with his band Bella Union.
