Named one of The New York Times’ “5 Artists to Watch” in 2025, Boys’ Shorts are a Greek DJ and production duo made up of Vangelis (LAGASTA) and electronic recording artist Tareq. Blending house, slow techno, disco, and acid, their sound reflects everything they love to play in their DJ sets. In their own words: “We make people dance!”

They’ve released music on influential labels including HE.SHE.THEY., Polari Records, Permanent Vacation, Future Disco, Iptamenos Discos, Live at Robert Johnson, and most recently, Correspondant.

Boys’ Shorts have delivered remixes for a diverse and high-profile list of artists including Alison Goldfrapp, Poolside, Yuksek x Polo & Pan, Kasper Bjørke, Woolfy, Boy George, Local Suicide x Lena Platonos, Daddy Squad x Zoot Woman, Casey Spooner, Joe Goddard and more. 

Touring extensively across Europe and the US, they’ve played iconic venues such as Berghain/Panorama Bar, London’s E1, Le Bain, Basement, Good Room, House of YES, and festivals like Lost Village and WECANDANCE. They’ve also opened for Hot Chip at the Knockdown Center in NYC and supported Alison Goldfrapp on the UK leg of her Love Invention tour.
