Thank goodness DJ Cam did not pursue business studies as a young buck. If he had, a club packed with Greek trip-hop fans would not be getting their groove on this Friday, June 1 (2007) in Athens’s own One Happy Cloud (Aristofanous 12, Psiri, +30-210-3222-256).

Yes, that’s right, you jazz-hip-hop-abstract-trip-hop-acoustic-electronica-instrumental-beat-loving music fans: thanks to Noiz Productions, French maestro DJ Cam will be performing live at Psiri’s intimate hot spot, One Happy Cloud. If you attend, you’ll expect to be shoulder-to-shoulder with about 200 Greek folks, but no more than that. One Happy Cloud is a small joint, perfect for hearing some of the world’s greatest DJs perform live. If you don’t get there early (we suggest by 11 p.m., although he may not hit the decks until midnight), you’ll surely miss your chance.

And trust us, One Happy Cloud is the perfect venue to check out DJ Cam if you want to be close enough to him to feel the steam evaporating from his skin and hear his remixes and original rhythms deep into your sleep hours later. Yes indeed, Greece-trodding international music lovers, the bar is appropriately named: while you’re there and long after you leave, you’ll be happy.

Calling all fans of technically-skilled DJs and of the Invisibl Scratch Picklz! If you’re in Athens this week, here’s some good news: DJ Qbert is in town! If you’re unfamiliar with Qbert, check out the documentary DJ Qbert For Intellectual Dummies or pretend to be him by playing his character in Tony Hawk’s Underground video game.

Tuesday and Wednesday nights he’ll be performing at One Happy Cloud (Aristofanous 12, Psiri, +30-210-322-2256) beginning at midnight. Tickets are only €15 per person—not bad for a legend—and if you want to make sure you get in, go early, as only 100 people will be admitted to the club each night.
