Apollo Records

The name APOLLO designates a project where several artists and producers get the chance to collaborate in the making of music. The result is a wide variety of musical styles and impressions.The first APOLLO production “PeV mou to s`agapw/Say that you love me” was released in 1998 on CD single and was APOLLO’s first freestyle hit! It was a remake of Stevie B’s classic freestyle song “Spring love (come back to me)” and the combined work of the singer Christos Grigoriadis, the rapper Zed and the producers Chris K. & Tanassi Koulidis. What makes this song truly unique is that the guys wrote their own lyrics to the rhythm of Stevie B’s hit and then recorded the vocals in Greek! The rapper Zed wrote and performed his rap for this song, too.

APOLLO is not just an one hit wonder either. In the year 2000, Tanassi Koulidis (the founder of APOLLO) co-produced the second APOLLO single “Say you will” with 2 other producers – Bob Darwin & Stephan Distel (from T.H.T., Free Team). “Say you will” was released on many different Freestyle compilations as well as on CD single with 6 special versions (2 Freestyle versions, 2 Flamenco versions, 1 Hip-Hop and 1 Ballad). “Say you will” has been the most successful Freestyle remake song in Germany.

After releasing “Say you will”, the APOLLO team continued to grow. Many artists and the producers Tanassi Koulidis and Theo “T.C.” Chalkias worked together to create the first APOLLO album “More Than Freestyle” with an enthusiastic blend of various music styles. For example, it contains the “APOLLO theme”, a high energy Freestyle song produced by Theo “T.C.” Chalkias and Tanassi Koulidis with the vocals from Ximena, Tasrip and Nicki Daniels. The album contains 8 Freestyle songs, 2 Hip-Hop songs, 2 Dance songs and 1 oriental Dance song. Freestyle fans will love the songs “Say you will”, “Don`t make me wait”, “Memories of loving you”, etc. Greek and English Hip-Hop fans will enjoy ZMS’s song “Ela edw sthn gura maV/Join our way” and the dance community will like Modify’s song “Tonight (Rhythm Mix)”.

“APOLLO – More Than FREESTYLE” is only the beginning. Some new APOLLO stuff is coming soon!
