The Balkans are one dance floor
Brussels has Bulgarian, Serbian, Macedonian, Romanian and Greek communities living a few metro stops from each other, and a music tradition that overlaps far more than the politics does. The same 7/8 rhythm runs through a Bulgarian ruchenitsa and a Greek kalamatianos. A room that knows one usually knows the other.
I'm a Greek DJ based in Brussels, and I speak Bulgarian. That combination is rarer here than it should be, and it is the whole point of this page: I can announce in Bulgarian, read a Balkan floor without a translator, and move an evening between Bulgarian pop-folk, Greek laïkà and international sets without it feeling like three parties stapled together.
- Bulgarian on the microphone — introductions, toasts, requests and the announcements that keep an evening moving.
- The wider Balkan repertoire — Bulgarian pop-folk and chalga, Serbian and Macedonian hits, Romanian manele, and the Greek catalogue I grew up in.
- Mixed rooms — Balkan hours flowing into house, Afro, Latin and RnB, so the guests who came for something else still dance.
Who this is for
Communities & associations
National days, new year celebrations, fundraisers and student parties for the Bulgarian, Serbian, Macedonian and Romanian communities in Belgium.
Mixed weddings
A Bulgarian or Serbian side and a Belgian, Greek or international side, in one room. Getting both dancing is a repertoire problem, and it is solvable.
Restaurants & venues
A recurring Balkan night that builds its own crowd — the same formula as my Greek residency at Papillon Schuman.
Companies
Diaspora staff networks, embassy and cultural-institute receptions where the music has to mean something to the people in the room.
What I am and am not claiming
My track record is Greek: more than 10 years behind the decks, three seasons in Mykonos, a four-year residency at Papillon Schuman, and the Greek communities of Brussels, Vienna, Leuven, Lille and Luxembourg. What I bring to a Balkan night is the language, the repertoire and the reading of a room — not a decade of Bulgarian weddings.
I would rather write that here than have you find it out on the night. If you want a DJ who has played fifty Bulgarian weddings, that is a fair thing to want. If you want one who speaks the language, knows the music and will prepare properly for your evening, start a conversation and judge for yourself.

Frequently asked questions
Do you actually speak Bulgarian?
Yes. I host, take requests and make announcements in Bulgarian, alongside Greek and English. It means the evening does not stall every time something needs saying to the room.
How much does a Balkan or Bulgarian DJ cost in Brussels?
From €500 excl. VAT within Brussels for the DJ, at a venue of your choosing. Sound and lighting are quoted separately, because what a room needs varies enormously, and the full package with speakers, microphones and lighting lands around €1,000. Travel is added beyond Brussels.
Can you mix Balkan music with international sets?
That is usually the right answer for a mixed room. A typical evening runs Balkan hours where the floor wants them and house, Afro, Latin or RnB where it does not, rather than committing the whole night to one catalogue.
Do you play Serbian, Macedonian and Romanian music too?
Yes. Serbian and Macedonian hits and Romanian manele sit alongside the Bulgarian and Greek repertoire. Send me the artists your crowd actually asks for and I will build the night around them.
