Note: back in October of 1986, night club Silver Screen (L.I.C., N.Y.) pioneered a Greek Night with a DJ playing Greek records all night long and Nikos Karas (DJ Niko) was the first DJ ever... Greek night clubs all over the globe followed this pattern and continue up to date... That Greek night was created by George Barkoutsis (RIP) brother of one of the owners of Silver Screen (Louis Barkoutsis)
