Biography
The one-man phenomenon And.id (also known as Andreas Dimitriadis) was born and
raised in Thessaloniki, Greece, where was influenced from a young age by his musical
surroundings. After attending a multitude of jazz concerts and finding himself absorbed
in his father’s large collection of records, he began studying music at the age of 10 and
began jamming in local bands, producing tracks for freestyle groups and creating
scores for short films.
In 2002, And.id began his involvement with NON, a Greece-based collective of artists
responsible for the organization of the Reworks Electronic Music Festival and club nights
throughout the country. In 2003 he was invited to attend the Red Bull Music Academy in
Cape Town, and shortly thereafter released his debut EP on Thinner Records and
continued to steadily release 12” tracks and EPs on Matthias Schaffhäuser’s Ware
imprint.
And.id hit his stride in 2008, when he released his debut for mobilee, “One Is Not
Enough,” as well as his critically acclaimed follow-up, “Sand on the Floor,” both of
which showcased not only his intricate production skills but also his unique integration
of live components, the latter of which helping to lend an inimitable sound to his
material.
