DJ Nova

Dj Nova is a Greek-based DJ, tastemaker, compiler and radio personality whose name is a homage to the famous French Radio Nova. Founder of Nov(A)voN, #balearicforyou and co-founder of Cala Tarida Musica, for both teamed with Adam Warped.

A music lover since a very early age, Nova met the airwaves in December 2003 when he started broadcasting his "Nova Planet" radio show every Wednesday evening on "Rodon FM 95" at his hometown of Serres, Greece. The two-hour show took the listeners on a journey through a broad spectrum of electronic music genres: Nu jazz, Lounge, Deep House, Afro, Latin, Funk, Balearic, Chill Out, Brazillian, Disco, and Japanese. Thanks to Nova's exquisite music style (and with some help from the internet) the show quickly gained worldwide popularity to become one of the authoritative destinations for electronic music aficionados in Greece and beyond. Nova has held live interviews with Michael Reinboth, Nicola Conte, Fabrice Lig, Ralf Droesemeyer, Christos Kedras, Truby Trio, Deladap, Tobias Meggle, Christian Prommer, S-tone Inc, Intuit, Carouge, Eddy Ramich, Felix Laband, Helmut Neugebauer, Dealers Of Nordic Music, Milto Eph, Heiko laux and many others. He has also been responsible for the broadcasting of six international radio shows on Rodon FM 95: “Beyond Jazz”, “Urban Landscapes”, “Basic Soul”, “Migrations”, “Soilsound Chronicles”, ‘’Peacelounge Sessions’’ and “Beat Philosophy”.

Outside Rodon FM, Nova has participated with exclusive mixes in soulseduction.com radio days. His "Casa Del Sol" chill out show has reached as far as Canada's PUSH RADIO webradio. He compiles periodic podcasts under two series: "Labelology" (focusing on a specific music label) and "If I was a Balearic DJ" (focusing on balearic-influenced releases). He also runs the internet label "MoRNiNG SuN:TouCH" whose releases are available as free downloads under a creative-commons license. Working with labels from all over the world Nova has a number of compilation CDs under his belt like "Night & Day" on Prominence Records (Greece), "Tokyo Fashion District" on Cool D:Vision (Italy), the "Nova Planet House Sessions" EP series on Kapa Music (USA), the upcoming ''Red Carpet Lounge Vol.2'' on Peacelounge (Germany) and more.
