Playmen‘s original productions have topped the charts and held the “power play” title in most Greek dance-mainstream radios. The production of music that can supreme in the Global industry and electronic dance music (EDM) is their lead concern, since they both have “studied” for years the international scenery, played and experimented in unique house sounds. The need to keep their sets innovating led Playmen into producing unique bootlegs and mash-ups. This is considered to be one of their best figure and have already gained the support of Tiesto’s Club Life with the “Supermode vs Hurts – Tell me why life is wonderful Playmen Bootleg” (Tiesto’s Club Life 186).
Their first breakthrough was in 2009 when “Together Forever” was released through Universal. “Together Forever” entered the mainstream radio airplays, charts, various compilations, reached 12.000 realtone downloads for Cosmote and over 2.000.000 views at YouTube. The same year Playmen also produced a number of Remixes for international Labels and artists like Richard Grey, Offer Nissim, Agent Greg, Star 69, Sound 2 Go and Ministry of Sound.
Just after their live performance at the 2010 MAD TV Video Music Awards together they released their second hit single “Feel Your Love” through Sony Music which once again made a huge buzz in the Greek music scene. This single also reached more than 1.000.000 views in PlaymenMusic Vevo.
