About DJ Orestis
From Mykonos beach clubs to Brussels boardroom receptions — one constant: a dance floor that works.
The story
I started where DJs are forged the hard way: Mykonos. Three seasons in the island's nightlife taught me to read an international crowd in seconds — because on Mykonos, you don't get minutes.
Six years ago I moved to Brussels, and the city became my home base. Today I hold a residency at Papillon Schuman — now in its fourth year — and I've played rooms across the city: La Place 33, Capital, Kosmos, YAYA, Meatropolis, Machina, AKT and more. Every summer I still return to Mykonos for guest sets.
Alongside club work, I built a second specialty: events. I co-founded Sounds Greek Events, hosted the Brussels Greek Food Festival twice, and became the go-to DJ for Greek communities across Europe — Vienna, Leuven, Lille and beyond. Companies followed: I've played corporate events for Freshfields, Boston Consulting Group and other major firms in Brussels.
How I work
Preparation first
Every event starts with a conversation: the occasion, the guests, the moments that matter. The playlist is built for your room, not recycled from the last one.
Reading the floor
A great set is a dialogue. I watch the floor constantly and adjust in real time — energy up when the room asks for it, elegance when the moment calls for restraint.
Five music worlds
Greek, electronic, Afro, Latin and RnB — genuinely, not as tokens. That range is why mixed and international crowds are my speciality.
Professional, always
Punctual, discreet, properly equipped and properly insured. The standard corporate clients expect — brought to every event, including private ones.
Community & culture
Music is also how I give back. I play pro bono for the Brussels Greek Community, Dames Hellènes and Hellenic United Women, support the Greek Choir of Brussels and local theatre groups — including with photography and video — and cooperate with the Argo Hellenic diplomat network, AHEPA and other organisations of the Greek diaspora.
