Locke

John Varelas, also known as Locke, was born in Athens and moved to the city of Chalkida at an early age. His passion for music though, brought him back to the capital of Greece where he was introduced to the electronic music scene in which he got involved through organizing events (all over the country) and by working for (several) labels.

He moved to Berlin in 2007 and kept himself busy by throwing in a whole lot of underground parties such as the “Mangali” with his fellow producer and DJ “Siopis”.

In 2011 he “gave birth” to the “MOVE” project, organizing private parties in secret locations with lineups that were revealed to the crowds after they entered the gig space, never before. The success of the “MOVE” led him to create the “Τhe Voice of MOVE”, a weekly radio show broadcasted by “Home Radio 89.1”. From day one the “The Voice of MOVE” has been associated with quality underground music and has created a big family of fans and supporters around the globe. The show’s success brought the “The Voice of MOVE” into the clubs and on the dance floors. John started playing frequently, sharing his sound with MOVERS all around the world.

As a solo DJ, Locke has already crossed many frontiers of the electronic music scene. From regular gigs throughout Europe, where he was playing alongside well respected artists (such as Ron Trent, Delano Smith, Vakula), to South American Jungle parties, burning hot African Desert raves and underground clubs of Florida to the sparkling coastal shores of Baja California.

Locke never stopped craving to create and so he continued participating in other interesting dance concepts such as “Odyssia Festival” as music director and co - founder on “Walk the Night”.
