Continuing our interview series, dancetoday remains committed to one of its core missions: highlighting artists who are shaping the present and future of the electronic dance music scene, especially in Greece, while giving a meaningful platform to emerging, talented and promising local voices.

This time, we had the opportunity to catch up with SOLR, a Greek DJ and producer we have been following closely over the past period. With his sound moving through melodic, Afro, organic and indie dance territories, SOLR represents a new generation of Greek artists who are not only building their identity locally, but also connecting with a wider international electronic music audience.

Since breaking through in 2021 with releases on Protocol Recordings and Enhanced Music, SOLR has steadily shaped a sound rooted in melody, groove and atmosphere. With music on labels such as Armada, Green Room and Arodes’s Unreleased, and recent releases like “Allè”, the “Obsessed” EP and “Together” with Jamek Ortega on BTRFLY FX, his direction now leans deeper into melodic, Afro and indie dance club sounds.

As a resident DJ at VOID club in Mykonos since 2023, SOLR has also shared stages with names including Maceo Plex, ARTBAT, Adriatique, CamelPhat, Marco Carola, Âme, Dixon, Damian Lazarus and Shimza, while his productions have received support from David Guetta, Armin van Buuren, Martin Garrix, Kryder and Sam Feldt.

With “Together” still fresh and new unreleased IDs available to preview through the videos featured in this article, we spoke with SOLR about his artistic identity, the Greek electronic scene, his evolution as a producer, and what it means to grow as a local artist with international perspective.

SOT_0270 2.JPG

As a Greek DJ and producer now moving between local stages, Mykonos residencies and international musical references, how would you describe SOLR’s artistic identity today?

SOLR is a project I created where I make music from a more romantic, almost cinematic perspective. By cinematic, I mean that my music is heavily inspired by the things I experience in everyday life - my travels, the people I meet, and everything happening around me. The goal of the project is to create music that works on the dancefloor while also making people feel something.

You have played across different dancefloors, both in Greece and abroad. What difference do you feel in the Greek crowd compared to other audiences? Is there something that makes it special, or something that still needs to evolve?

Having played both in Greece and abroad, I'd say the biggest difference is that, unfortunately, people in Greece don't dance as much as they do in other countries. But I think that's something that's gradually changing. As electronic music and club culture continue to grow here, I'm confident that we'll see that change over time.

In recent years, you have been closely connected with Void Mykonos, one of the most important clubs in Greece. What has this experience taught you as a DJ, and what does a booth like that demand differently compared to a more “classic” club set?

This is my fourth year as a resident at Void, and it's truly been a very special and powerful experience. In my opinion, it's probably the most unique club in Greece. Mykonos itself is already a very different place compared to almost every other dance floor in Europe, and even the world, but this venue in particular, with the artists it brings every season, gives you an incredible opportunity to learn. Being around some of the biggest artists from all over the world and watching them perform their music is an education in itself. Just that alone is a huge learning experience. But being a resident at a club like this teaches you even more. You're there almost every night, listening to so many different artists and so many different sets. You see how people react to different styles of music, how they respond to changes in energy, and you absorb all of that. It helps you become a better DJ, evolve your sound, and gain experience that makes you stronger every time you play.

Your musical journey seems to have moved from more big-room/progressive influences, with releases in spaces such as Nicky Romero’s label, toward a more melodic, Afro, organic and indie dance sound. How did this transition happen, and what changed inside you musically?

With SOLR, my music is deeply influenced by what's happening in my life, where I live, and the people I surround myself with. Growing up, I was much more into the EDM scene. I loved festivals and I still do. I also lived abroad for a few years, in both the Netherlands and London, and the first label that discovered me was Nicky Romero's. At the time, that was also the kind of music I was making, more radio-friendly records with vocals, melodic elements, higher energy, and a different sonic approach, not as organic as what I do today. Later, after moving back to Greece and especially after coming to Mykonos, I found myself surrounded by a completely different musical landscape. I became fascinated by the more minimal side of the scene and by the way different styles of music, still melodic in their own way, could affect people.

As I got older, my taste naturally evolved. What excited me as a listener and as a person changed, and that gradually changed the way I approached musicproduction. My sound slowly evolved into what it is today. More than anything, I wanted to create music that I genuinely wanted to play in my own DJ sets, and that's how I arrived at where I am today.

We see melodic and Afro house dominating globally, but at the same time there is a risk of many artists sounding similar. How do you try to maintain your own identity within a sound that is evolving so quickly?

It's true that the Afro House scene has grown tremendously, and it's also true that many producers are starting to sound very similar. That's a natural consequence of so many new people entering the industry. But I believe that, like everything else, things eventually find their balance. That happens when you stop trying to sound like everyone else and instead focus on expressing yourself and making the music you genuinely love. That's when your music naturally becomes more original, more unique, and truly your own instead of being a copy of someone else's work.

So my advice is simple: find yourself. Figure out what you really enjoy making, what genuinely represents you musically, then go into the studio and dedicate yourself to developing that sound. Don't worry about what's happening around you. Block out the noise and focus on your own identity.

What is your view on the Greek electronic/dance scene today? What do you believe it does well, and what should change so that more Greek artists can stand with confidence on an international level?

The electronic dance music scene in Greece is constantly growing, and more and more people are becoming part of it, which is a great thing. That doesn't necessarily mean everything is developing in the ideal way, though. If there's one thing I'd like to see improve, it would be more collaboration between artists, more studio sessions together, more collaborations, and more openness when it comes to working with new people, fresh talent, and fresh ideas. I think that's one thing we're still missing: being more open and willing to support and collaborate with the artists around us. But overall, I genuinely believe the scene is moving in the right direction and getting better every year.

For a new local DJ/producer trying to stand out today, what do you consider most important: production, networking, consistency, personal brand, the right collaborations - or something else that is usually underestimated?

All of these things are important for an upcoming producer. Whether we like it or not, it's not just about the music anymore—but it's not just about networking or social media either. It takes a combination of everything. If I had to choose the foundation, though, it would always be music production. Because even if you have the right connections, you still need something to show. You need to show your identity, your sound, and what you have to say as an artist.

So first and foremost, I'd say focus on making great music. After that, networking becomes incredibly important, and of course social media plays a huge role as well. We all know that by now. At the end of the day, you're building a brand around yourself as an artist.

Was there any difficult period, wrong choice or professional disappointment that eventually helped you evolve as an artist? And if yes, what did it teach you?

There have definitely been moments that slowed me down or made me question things. Sometimes life pulls you backwards, whether it's because of your personal life or simply the circumstances you're living in. But every time, I've always found something that keeps me moving forward instead of staying stuck. I won't point to one specific event because there have been many different challenges, including everyday life and living conditions. But I think the most valuable lesson from all of those experiences is learning how to adapt, keep going, and never lose sight of your ultimate goal.

Συνεχίζοντας τη σειρά των συνεντεύξεών μας, το dancetoday παραμένει πιστό σε μία από τις βασικές του αποστολές: να αναδεικνύει καλλιτέχνες που διαμορφώνουν το παρόν και το μέλλον της σκηνής της ηλεκτρονικής μουσικής, και δη στην Ελλάδα, δίνοντας ταυτόχρονα ένα ουσιαστικό βήμα σε ανερχόμενους, ταλαντούχους και πολλά υποσχόμενες τοπικούς καλλιτέχνες.

Αυτή τη φορά, είχαμε την ευκαιρία να μιλήσουμε με τον SOLR, έναν Έλληνα DJ και παραγωγό που παρακολουθούμε στενά το τελευταίο διάστημα. Με τον ήχο του να κινείται ανάμεσα σε melodic, Afro, organic και indie dance κατευθύνσεις, ο SOLR εκπροσωπεί μια νέα γενιά Ελλήνων καλλιτεχνών που δεν χτίζουν μόνο την ταυτότητά τους σε τοπικό επίπεδο, αλλά συνδέονται και με ένα ευρύτερο διεθνές κοινό της ηλεκτρονικής μουσικής.

Από το 2021, όταν άρχισε να ξεχωρίζει με releases σε Protocol Recordings και Enhanced Music, ο SOLR έχει διαμορφώσει σταθερά έναν ήχο βασισμένο στη μελωδία, το groove και την ατμόσφαιρα. Με μουσική σε labels όπως Armada, Green Room και την Unreleased του Arodes, καθώς και πρόσφατα releases όπως το “Allè”, το “Obsessed” EP και το “Together” με τον Jamek Ortega στην BTRFLY FX, η κατεύθυνσή του σήμερα κινείται πιο βαθιά σε melodic, Afro και indie dance club ήχους.

Ως resident DJ στο VOID club της Μυκόνου από το 2023, ο SOLR έχει επίσης μοιραστεί stages με ονόματα όπως Maceo Plex, ARTBAT, Adriatique, CamelPhat, Marco Carola, Âme, Dixon, Damian Lazarus και Shimza, ενώ οι παραγωγές του έχουν λάβει support από David Guetta, Armin van Buuren, Martin Garrix, Kryder και Sam Feldt.

Με το “Together” να είναι ακόμη φρέσκο και με νέα unreleased IDs, τα οποία μπορείτε να ακούσετε μέσα από τα videos που ακολουθούν στο άρθρο, μιλήσαμε με τον SOLR για την καλλιτεχνική του ταυτότητα, την σκηνή της ηλεκτρονικής μουσικής στην Ελλάδα, την εξέλιξή του ως producer και το τι σημαίνει να μεγαλώνεις ως local artist με διεθνή προοπτική.

SOT_0270 2.JPG

Ως Έλληνας DJ και παραγωγός που κινείσαι σήμερα ανάμεσα σε local stages, residencies στη Μύκονο και διεθνείς μουσικές αναφορές, πώς θα περιέγραφες την καλλιτεχνική ταυτότητα του SOLR σήμερα;

Το SOLR είναι ένα project που δημιούργησα μέσα από το οποίο γράφω μουσική από μια πιο ρομαντική, σχεδόν cinematic ματιά. Όταν λέω cinematic, εννοώ ότι η μουσική μου επηρεάζεται έντονα από πράγματα που βιώνω στην καθημερινότητά μου - τα ταξίδια μου, τους ανθρώπους που γνωρίζω και όλα όσα συμβαίνουν γύρω μου. Ο στόχος του project είναι να δημιουργεί μουσική που λειτουργεί στο dancefloor, αλλά ταυτόχρονα να δηµιουργεί συναισθήµατα για τον κόσµο.

Έχεις παίξει σε διαφορετικά dancefloors, τόσο στην Ελλάδα όσο και στο εξωτερικό. Τι διαφορά νιώθεις στο ελληνικό κοινό σε σχέση με άλλες χώρες; Υπάρχει κάτι που το κάνει ξεχωριστό ή κάτι που θεωρείς ότι χρειάζεται ακόμη να εξελιχθεί;

Έχοντας παίξει και στην Ελλάδα και στο εξωτερικό, θα έλεγα ότι η μεγαλύτερη διαφορά είναι πως, δυστυχώς, στην Ελλάδα ο κόσμος δεν χορεύει τόσο πολύ όσο σε άλλες χώρες. Παρ’ όλα αυτά, πιστεύω ότι αυτό αρχίζει σταδιακά να αλλάζει με τα χρόνια. Καθώς η ηλεκτρονική μουσική και η club κουλτούρα συνεχίζουν να αναπτύσσονται εδώ, είμαι σίγουρος ότι θα δούμε αυτή την αλλαγή να συμβαίνει με τον καιρό.

Τα τελευταία χρόνια είσαι στενά συνδεδεμένος με το Void Mykonos, ένα από τα σημαντικότερα clubs στην Ελλάδα. Τι σου έχει μάθει αυτή η εμπειρία ως DJ και τι απαιτεί διαφορετικά ένα τέτοιο booth σε σχέση με ένα πιο “κλασικό” club set;

Αυτή είναι η τέταρτη χρονιά μου ως resident στο Void και πραγματικά είναι μια πολύ ιδιαίτερη και δυνατή εμπειρία. Κατά τη γνώμη μου, είναι πιθανότατα το πιο ιδιαίτερο club στην Ελλάδα. Η ίδια η Μύκονος είναι ήδη ένα πολύ διαφορετικό μέρος σε σχέση με σχεδόν κάθε άλλο dancefloor στην Ευρώπη, αλλά και στον κόσμο γενικότερα. Το συγκεκριμένο venue, όμως, με τους artists που φέρνει κάθε σεζόν, σου δίνει μια απίστευτη ευκαιρία να μάθεις.

Το να βρίσκεσαι κοντά σε μερικούς από τους μεγαλύτερους καλλιτέχνες από όλο τον κόσμο και να τους βλέπεις να παίζουν τη μουσική τους είναι από μόνο του ένα μάθημα. Αλλά το να είσαι resident σε ένα τέτοιο club σου μαθαίνει ακόμη περισσότερα. Βρίσκεσαι εκεί σχεδόν κάθε βράδυ, ακούς τόσους διαφορετικούς artists και τόσα διαφορετικά sets. Βλέπεις πώς αντιδρά ο κόσμος σε διαφορετικά στυλ μουσικής, πώς ανταποκρίνεται στις αλλαγές της ενέργειας, και όλο αυτό το απορροφάς. Σε βοηθά να γίνεις καλύτερος DJ, να εξελίξεις τον ήχο σου και να αποκτήσεις εμπειρία που σε κάνει πιο δυνατό κάθε φορά που παίζεις.

Η μουσική σου διαδρομή φαίνεται να έχει περάσει από πιο big-room/progressive επιρροές, με releases σε χώρους όπως το label του Nicky Romero, προς έναν πιο melodic, Afro, organic και indie dance ήχο. Πώς συνέβη αυτή η μετάβαση και τι άλλαξε μέσα σου μουσικά;

Με το SOLR, η μουσική μου επηρεάζεται βαθιά από όσα συμβαίνουν στη ζωή μου, από το πού ζω και από τους ανθρώπους που έχω γύρω μου. Μεγαλώνοντας, ήμουν πολύ περισσότερο μέσα στην EDM σκηνή. Λάτρευα τα festivals και εξακολουθώ να τα αγαπώ. Έζησα επίσης για μερικά χρόνια στο εξωτερικό, τόσο στην Ολλανδία όσο και στο Λονδίνο, και το πρώτο label που με ανακάλυψε ήταν του Nicky Romero. Εκείνη την περίοδο, αυτό ήταν και το είδος μουσικής που έγραφα: πιο radio-friendly κομμάτια με vocals, melodic στοιχεία, περοσσότερη ενέργεια και μια διαφορετική ηχητική προσέγγιση, όχι τόσο organic όσο αυτό που κάνω σήμερα.

Αργότερα, όταν επέστρεψα στην Ελλάδα και ειδικά όταν ήρθα στη Μύκονο, βρέθηκα μέσα σε ένα εντελώς διαφορετικό μουσικό περιβάλλον. Άρχισε να με γοητεύει περισσότερο η minimal πλευρά της σκηνής και ο τρόπος με τον οποίο διαφορετικά είδη μουσικής, ακόμα και όταν παραμένουν μελωδικά με τον δικό τους τρόπο, μπορούν να επηρεάσουν τον κόσμο.

Καθώς μεγάλωνα, το γούστο μου εξελίχθηκε φυσικά. Άλλαξαν αυτά που με ενθουσίαζαν ως ακροατή και ως άνθρωπο, και αυτό σταδιακά άλλαξε και τον τρόπο με τον οποίο προσέγγιζα τη μουσική παραγωγή. Ο ήχος μου εξελίχθηκε σιγά σιγά σε αυτό που είναι σήμερα. Πάνω απ’ όλα, ήθελα να δημιουργώ μουσική που πραγματικά θέλω να παίζω στα δικά μου DJ sets, και έτσι έφτασα εδώ που είμαι σήμερα.

Βλέπουμε τη Melodic και Afro house να κυριαρχούν παγκοσμίως, αλλά ταυτόχρονα υπάρχει και ο κίνδυνος πολλοί artists να αρχίσουν να ακούγονται παρόμοιοι. Πώς προσπαθείς να διατηρείς τη δική σου ταυτότητα μέσα σε έναν ήχο που εξελίσσεται τόσο γρήγορα;

Είναι αλήθεια ότι η Afro House σκηνή έχει μεγαλώσει πάρα πολύ, και είναι επίσης αλήθεια ότι πολλοί παραγωγοί αρχίζουν να ακούγονται πολύ παρόμοιοι. Αυτό είναι μια φυσική συνέπεια όταν μπαίνουν τόσοι πολλοί νέοι άνθρωποι στη βιομηχανία. Πιστεύω όμως ότι, όπως συμβαίνει με όλα, τα πράγματα κάποια στιγμή βρίσκουν την ισορροπία τους. Αυτό συμβαίνει όταν σταματάς να προσπαθείς να ακούγεσαι όπως όλοι οι άλλοι και αρχίζεις να εστιάζεις στο να εκφράζεις τον εαυτό σου και να φτιάχνεις τη μουσική που πραγματικά αγαπάς. Τότε η μουσική σου γίνεται φυσικά πιο original, πιο unique και πραγματικά δική σου, αντί να είναι αντίγραφο της δουλειάς κάποιου άλλου.

Οπότε η συμβουλή μου είναι απλή: βρες τον εαυτό σου. Κατάλαβε τι πραγματικά απολαμβάνεις να δημιουργείς, τι σε εκφράζει μουσικά, και μετά μπες στο studio και αφοσιώσου στο να εξελίξεις αυτόν τον ήχο. Μην ανησυχείς τόσο για το τι συμβαίνει γύρω σου. Απομόνωσε τον θόρυβο απ’ έξω και εστίασε στη δική σου ταυτότητα.

Πώς βλέπεις την ελληνική ηλεκτρονική/dance σκηνή σήμερα; Τι πιστεύεις ότι κάνει καλά και τι θα έπρεπε να αλλάξει ώστε περισσότεροι Έλληνες artists να σταθούν με αυτοπεποίθηση σε διεθνές επίπεδο;

Η ηλεκτρονική dance σκηνή στην Ελλάδα αναπτύσσεται συνεχώς και όλο και περισσότερος κόσμος γίνεται μέρος της, κάτι που είναι πολύ θετικό. Αυτό, βέβαια, δεν σημαίνει απαραίτητα ότι όλα εξελίσσονται με τον ιδανικό τρόπο. Αν υπάρχει κάτι που θα ήθελα να δω να βελτιώνεται, θα ήταν περισσότερη συνεργασία μεταξύ των artists, περισσότερα studio sessions μαζί, περισσότερα collaborations και περισσότερη ανοιχτότητα απέναντι σε νέους ανθρώπους, φρέσκα ταλέντα και φρέσκες ιδέες.

Νομίζω ότι αυτό είναι κάτι που ακόμη μας λείπει: να είμαστε πιο ανοιχτοί και πιο πρόθυμοι να στηρίξουμε και να συνεργαστούμε με τους artists γύρω μας. Παρ’ όλα αυτά, συνολικά πιστεύω πραγματικά ότι η σκηνή κινείται προς τη σωστή κατεύθυνση και γίνεται καλύτερη κάθε χρόνο.

Για έναν νέο local DJ/παραγωγό που προσπαθεί να ξεχωρίσει σήμερα, τι θεωρείς πιο σημαντικό: μουσική παραγωγή, networking, συνέπεια, προσωπικό brand, σωστές συνεργασίες - ή κάτι άλλο που συνήθως υποτιμάται;

Όλα αυτά είναι σημαντικά για έναν ανερχόμενο DJ/παραγωγό. Είτε μας αρέσει είτε όχι, δεν είναι πλέον μόνο η μουσική, αλλά δεν είναι και μόνο το networking ή τα social media. Χρειάζεται ένας συνδυασμός από όλα. Αν έπρεπε όμως να διαλέξω τη βάση, αυτή θα ήταν πάντα η μουσική παραγωγή. Γιατί ακόμα κι αν έχεις τις σωστές επαφές, πρέπει να έχεις κάτι να δείξεις. Πρέπει να δείξεις την ταυτότητά σου, τον ήχο σου και αυτό που έχεις να πεις ως καλλιτέχνης.

Οπότε, πρώτα απ’ όλα, θα έλεγα να εστιάσεις στο να φτιάχνεις καλή μουσική. Μετά από αυτό, το networking γίνεται εξαιρετικά σημαντικό, και φυσικά τα social media παίζουν τεράστιο ρόλο. Αυτό το γνωρίζουμε όλοι πλέον. Στο τέλος της ημέρας, χτίζεις ένα brand γύρω από τον εαυτό σου ως καλλιτέχνη.

Υπήρξε κάποια δύσκολη περίοδος, λάθος επιλογή ή επαγγελματική απογοήτευση που τελικά σε βοήθησε να εξελιχθείς ως artist; Και αν ναι, τι σου έμαθε;

Σίγουρα υπήρξαν στιγμές που με πήγαν πίσω ή με έκαναν να αμφισβητήσω πράγματα. Μερικές φορές η ζωή σε τραβάει προς τα πίσω, είτε λόγω της προσωπικής σου ζωής είτε απλώς λόγω των συνθηκών μέσα στις οποίες ζεις. Αλλά κάθε φορά, πάντα έβρισκα κάτι που με κρατούσε σε κίνηση, αντί να μένω στάσιμος. Δεν θα αναφερθώ σε ένα συγκεκριμένο γεγονός, γιατί υπήρξαν πολλές διαφορετικές προκλήσεις, μαζί με την καθημερινότητα και τις συνθήκες ζωής. Νομίζω όμως ότι το πιο πολύτιμο μάθημα από όλες αυτές τις εμπειρίες είναι να μαθαίνεις να προσαρμόζεσαι, να συνεχίζεις και να μη χάνεις ποτέ από τα μάτια σου τον τελικό σου στόχο.

21:T2836,

With major international headliners and prominent artist names like Paul Kalkbrenner, Argy, Adriatique, Ben Klock, Maceo Plex and Indira Paganotto among this year’s bookings, Reworks has plenty to attract anyone planning a few days in Thessaloniki. But its ⁠completed programme, announced on 8 September, also gives us good reasons to look beyond the most immediately recognisable names. From the opening hours of its afternoon events to the final stretches of its club sessions, Greek artists have been placed throughout the five-day programme, proving that Reworks continues a relationship with the city’s electronic music community that ⁠began in 2005. And this year is another chance to hear just how varied those artists - and the scene they come from - really are.

19 Artists, Many Directions

The festival’s announcement highlights 19 Greek or Greece-based acts: ISON, Momery, Athineos, Agape, VaJohn, Myrophora, Penny Morado, Modal Cat, Pinelopi, Cnthia, Decø, Thravsma, Nases Morur, Low F Signal, Vertical Slope, Bellas, MayDay, Kiki Botonaki and Dest.

Their presence stretches across different venues, stages and moments of the festival rather than being limited to a single local showcase. More importantly, these names do not represent one uniform “Greek sound”. House, melodic electronics, dub techno, acid, breaks and the deeper or more forceful ends of techno all have a place within the programme.

Inside the Greek Lineup

ISON connects much of that history. A founding member of NON and one of the people behind Reworks, he has helped develop the environment in which many of these encounters take place. Behind the decks, his references stretch across house, techno and Detroit, giving his sets a range that is difficult to reduce to one genre. His Saturday-night appearance in BLOCK33’s Warehouse, directly before Modeselektor, is worth catching for that breadth alone.

Momery offer another perspective on the relationship between Thessaloniki and the wider electronic circuit. The duo’s melodic techno has travelled through releases such as “Ophelia,” selected by Mind Against for the first release on HABITAT. It is a useful introduction to their balance of atmosphere, melody and dancefloor tension. On Friday, they appear at LABattoir’s Atrium directly before Adriatique, making their set a natural choice for listeners already drawn to that side of the programme.

There is reason to arrive before them, too. Myrophora opens the Atrium with a musical vocabulary that moves through progressive and melodic house, techno influences and occasional pop references. Her set gives the afternoon a more open starting point before Momery and Adriatique gradually take it elsewhere. Rather than treating the earlier slot as waiting time, the sequence works better when experienced from the beginning.

The programme becomes particularly interesting when artists with different instincts share the booth. Agape’s background in DIY parties informs selections moving between acid, house, electro and indie dance. VaJohn brings techno and breaks influences, alongside experience rooted in Thessaloniki’s Roxy Club. Their joint Friday-night appearance at BLOCK33’s Club offers a chance to hear where those approaches meet.

Local club experience also runs through Saturday’s pairing of Pinelopi and Penny Morado. Pinelopi’s approach centres on hypnotic progression and controlled intensity, while Penny Morado’s rolling techno retains a strong interest in groove, informed by earlier listening across soul, hip-hop and funk. Their 17:30–19:15 set at the Atrium gives them enough time to establish a direction together. If the later techno names are already part of your plans, this pairing deserves to be part of the afternoon as well.

Elsewhere, Thravsma and Nases Morur bring their shared connection to Ergotherapy to LABattoir’s Air stage. Both work with techno built through atmosphere, repetition and gradually developing tension, while Thravsma’s move to Berlin adds another thread between the Greek underground and scenes beyond it. Later, the ALEMAO connection appears through Decø and Cnthia, whose acid, trance and groove-led techno influences take over BLOCK33’s Club after Anetha. Their closing placement is a useful reminder that discovering local artists can sometimes mean staying until the final set, not only arriving early.

For a fuller picture of the artists and info about them, stages and set times across all five days, explore the full list of artist and the official Reworks 2026 programme.

Beyond the Booth

Reworks’ role is not limited to assembling a DJ lineup. Making its Greek debut on Friday, The Talk (AV Show) brings together Heith, Günseli Yalcinkaya and Andrea Belosi in a performance inspired by the Antikythera Mechanism. Combining live music, spoken word and audiovisual design, the project explores the ways technology influences perception and the stories through which we understand reality. Its development with Nuits sonores and Terraforma through TIMES also shows how festivals can participate in creating new work, rather than only presenting it once it is finished.

What Comes After

Being included in a festival of this scale can place an artist in front of new listeners. What follows (new releases, return bookings, collaborations and an audience that stays interested) determines whether that moment develops into something more lasting.

Some lineups make sense because the artists sound alike. Others work because they bring something different to the same room. Full Circle’s September 19 return belongs to the second category.

WhoMadeWho arrive with more than two decades behind them and a Hybrid DJ Set that sits somewhere between their identity as a band and their understanding of the dancefloor.

Avangart Tabldot arrive from almost the opposite direction: three artists whose story is still being written, and who are currently moving through one of the strongest periods of their career so far.

Put them together at Playground 260, start at 17:00 while Athens is still in daylight, and let the event develop until 23:00. That is where this one starts to become interesting.

WhoMadeWho: A Band That Learned to Speak Club

WhoMadeWho have always been difficult to place neatly into one category. Tomas Høffding, Tomas Barfod and Jeppe Kjellberg came from different musical backgrounds, with electronic music meeting rock, jazz and songwriting inside the same project. Over the years, that combination has allowed the Copenhagen trio to move naturally between concerts, festivals and club-focused electronic sets without feeling like a band simply trying to enter DJ culture.

More than twenty years after forming, they are also far from operating on nostalgia. Their 2026 calendar alone has taken the Hybrid DJ Set through Sónar and a long list of Ibiza dates alongside artists ranging from Carl Cox and Anyma to Vintage Culture, while July brought “ENERGY,” their collaboration with GORDO.

And the word Hybrid matters here. The format combines the freedom and continuous flow of a DJ set with the approach of musicians who have spent their career writing and performing songs. Vocals, melodies and recognizable songwriting remain central to WhoMadeWho, but so does their long relationship with electronic club culture.

Athens knows them well by now, and so does Full Circle. The relationship goes back at least to their 2022 live appearance at the Benaki Museum, while Full Circle brought them back in 2025 for a four-hour set alongside Carlita at Goudi’s Army Park.

September 19 adds another chapter, this time in a different setting.

Avangart Tabldot: Catch Them at This Moment

If you have been following Avangart Tabldot’s sets and releases recently, you probably already understand why their name deserves equal attention on this lineup.

The Istanbul trio have built their catalogue across labels including Innervisions, Siamese, TAU and Ultra, but the last couple of years show something more important than a list of label names: momentum. In 2025 they joined Tripolism for “Groove On” on Ultra and again for “All Hearts Beat”, while their remix work returned them to Innervisions.

In 2026, Avangart Tabldot have continued building around their own community. They are among the people behind Istanbul-based Crib Records, where July brought “I’m Tango,” while just eight days before the Athens show comes “Love.exe", their new release on Exit Strategy.

That matters because this is often one of the best stages at which to catch an artist: established enough to have a clear identity, but still moving quickly enough that their sets don’t feel settled. Their own platform is growing, new music keeps arriving and their catalogue continues to spread across respected corners of the electronic scene. They aren’t simply the other name alongside the more established act on the poster. Their current momentum is one of the reasons this date is so well timed.

Why Playground 260 Fits the Idea

Full Circle has always paid attention to the space around the music. Its history in Athens, from the Benaki Museum to large-scale events at Goudi’s Army Park, reflects an approach where the setting forms part of the event itself.

Now Playground 260 offers a different environment. The wider Peiraios 260 complex is a former furniture factory and a surviving example of 1970s industrial architecture, later established as one of the main homes of the Athens Epidaurus Festival. Large former industrial buildings and sheds give the site a character very different from a conventional club.

And the schedule works with that setting. Doors open at 17:00, with Greek DJs/producers MAARKK and Man With The Speaker, both part of STYX Agency, the agency of Full Circle, handling the first tunes before the main acts. That gives you a good reason to arrive early, support the local artists and watch the music, crowd and space develop naturally as afternoon turns into night.

Why September 19 Is Worth Your Saturday

There is a nice balance to this lineup.

WhoMadeWho bring the catalogue, musicianship and years spent moving between band culture and electronic dancefloors. Avangart Tabldot arrive at a very different point in their story, with new releases, their own growing platform and plenty still ahead of them.

And Full Circle brings both together for six hours at Playground 260, from daylight into night.

There is also something to be said about how accessible the event remains. With the €26.50 first release already sold out, tickets have now moved into the second release at €35... still a very fair entry point for what the evening brings together.

Two days left until one of the biggest electronic music weekends of the year takes over Athens.

Two days, two stages and enough musical territory between them to make choosing where to be one of the hardest parts of Zamna x Primer Music Festival 2026.

On September 4 and 5, PRIMER returns to OAKA for a special edition created together with ZAMNA, bringing the Mexican festival brand’s darker, immersive electronic identity into PRIMER’s large-scale Athens format. The Helios Stage operates as the outdoor festival arena, while the Lunar Stage takes the experience indoors and deep into the night, running until 06:00.

The lineup stretches from foundational house and festival EDM to melodic techno, indie dance and psytrance. So rather than attempting to see everything, these are the sets dancetoday believes deserve priority... not simply because of the names on the poster, but because of what each artist represents, what they currently sound like, and how difficult it may be to recreate the same experience another time.

FRIDAY

AFROJACK - Helios Stage

There is a difference between hearing the records that defined an era and hearing them played by one of the people who actually helped create that era. Afrojack belongs firmly in the second category. Nick van de Wall was one of the producers at the centre of electronic music’s explosion into global festival culture during the early 2010s, with a catalogue that helped establish the enormous, highly engineered mainstage sound that dominated that period. PRIMER itself describes him as one of the defining architects of festival-era EDM.

That history alone would make the set significant. But nostalgia is not really the reason to see Afrojack. His sets remain designed around scale: aggressive transitions, sudden changes in energy, enormous low-end and the ability to move between EDM, electro, house and more contemporary festival sounds without losing control of a huge crowd.

At a festival like PRIMER, that skill matters. If Friday’s Helios Stage is where you want the full-scale festival experience, Afrojack is one of its clearest expressions.

ARMAND VAN HELDEN - Helios Stage

If Afrojack represents one important chapter in electronic music history, Armand Van Helden represents something even deeper. Long before “EDM” became an industry category, Van Helden was helping reshape house music. From his 1990s productions and remixes to records such “You Don’t Know Me”, "I Want Your Soul" and his later work as half of Duck Sauce alongside A-Trak, his influence stretches through several generations of dance music. His career has also included two Grammy nominations and performances across institutions ranging from Glastonbury and Coachella to Fabric, DC10, Berghain, Ushuaïa and countless others.

And this is exactly why his PRIMER appearance deserves attention. Artists from this generation are not interchangeable with the current touring circuit. You are seeing someone whose records became part of the vocabulary DJs still use today.

Expect house music with personality rather than excessive ceremony: groove, vocals, classics, left turns and decades of dancefloor knowledge condensed into one set. For anyone interested in where contemporary house culture actually came from, this is not merely another name on the lineup.

MRAK - Lunar Stage

MRAK is Carmine Conte’s individual world outside Tale Of Us. And that distinction matters. As one half of Tale Of Us and a co-founder of Afterlife, Conte has helped shape one of electronic music’s most influential aesthetics of the past decade. MRAK allows him to move away from the duo format and expose a more personal musical identity built around emotion, synthesis, atmosphere and cinematic tension.

Afterlife itself describes MRAK as an extension of Conte’s artistic identity characterised by warmth, emotion and depth. The project has developed through releases such as One, Manifesto and the recent Smoke EP. The most important is that he announced his debut album is coming & will include 33 songs. Primer will got a taste of it!

That makes his Lunar appearance particularly interesting. You know the universe he helped build. This is the opportunity to hear what happens when one of its architects operates alone.

MISS MONIQUE - Lunar Stage

Miss Monique has become one of the most recognisable names in melodic house and techno, but her rise is particularly interesting because it was built as much through DJing as through records. Her long-form streamed sets helped establish an enormous international following before that visibility translated into increasingly major festival bookings and becoming the founder of Siona Records and one of melodic house and techno’s major contemporary forces.

Her strength behind the decks is accessibility without completely abandoning progression. Melody is prominent, but so are momentum and tension. That makes her particularly effective with large crowds: melodic enough to create emotional peaks, driving enough to keep the room moving.

On a Lunar lineup full of darker electronic music, she represents one of Friday’s most immediate crowd connections.

STEPHAN BODZIN Live - Lunar Stage

The important word here is not only “Stephan Bodzin". It is “Live”.

Bodzin occupies a very particular place in melodic techno. His music is instantly recognisable through its synth architecture: expressive lead lines, repetition, harmonic tension and the kind of analogue timbres that can turn surprisingly minimal musical material into something emotionally huge. He has spent decades developing that language, and even describes the sound design surrounding Boavista through the analogue instruments and Moog Sub37 patches that formed the album.

But a Bodzin live show is fundamentally different from simply hearing a DJ play Bodzin records. The performance places his own compositions and machines at the centre of the experience, turning tracks into material that can be manipulated rather than simply reproduced.

Among Friday’s choices, this may therefore be one of the easiest to justify: You can see many DJs. You get considerably fewer opportunities to experience Stephan Bodzin performing his music live.

HI PROFILE - Lunar Stage

There is also a homegrown reason not to overlook Friday’s Lunar Stage.

Athens-born Anastasios Antoniou, better known as Hi Profile, has built one of the most internationally established careers to emerge from Greece’s progressive trance and psytrance scene. His journey has taken him to major electronic music stages including Tomorrowland, Ultra, Airbeat One and Green Valley, while this summer he returned to Tomorrowland 2026 as part of the festival’s Planaxis lineup. In 2019, he was also recognised by UNESCO Greece for his contribution to promoting Greek heritage through electronic music.

Musically, Hi Profile brings something noticeably different to Friday’s Lunar lineup. His sound moves between progressive trance, psytrance and broader electronic influences, combining melodic elements with the faster propulsion and euphoric release associated with trance. Over the years, his music has also received support from artists including Armin van Buuren, Paul Oakenfold, Astrix, Vini Vici and Charlotte de Witte.

And for dancetoday, there is another reason this set belongs on the list. Supporting Greek artists does not mean lowering the bar; in this case, the international career already speaks for itself. Seeing one of Greece’s most established trance exports representing the local scene on a lineup of this scale makes Hi Profile a set worth prioritising.

SATURDAY

AXWELL - Helios Stage

If we had to choose one set across the entire weekend, this would be it! Axwell is dancetoday’s most anticipated performance of PRIMER 2026 edition.

Not simply because he is one third of Swedish House Mafia, or because of the enormous catalogue attached to his career, but because solo Axwell has always been something slightly different.

Axwell is fundamentally a DJ’s DJ.

Underneath the records, awards and Swedish House Mafia mythology sits an exceptional understanding of house music: phrasing, tension, release, vocals, groove and (perhaps most importantly) timing. His Axtone years also became inseparable from an era in which progressive house could simultaneously be emotional, technically sophisticated and enormous.

What makes this appearance even more valuable is scarcity. Swedish House Mafia performances naturally dominate much of the collective’s touring presence, while individual Axwell dates remain comparatively selective. Even the official Swedish House Mafia schedule currently shows only a small number of announced solo Axwell appearances around this period, including Athens, Karachi and Tokyo.

That changes the equation. This is not simply an opportunity to hear Swedish House Mafia records in Athens. It is an opportunity to hear Axwell construct a set as Axwell!

For longtime house listeners, producers and DJs - and for anyone who lived through progressive house’s defining years - this is the set around which we would build Saturday. Do NOT miss it!

INNELLEA B2B MORTEN - Helios Stage

This could be the weekend’s wildcard. On paper, Innellea and MORTEN come from two different ecosystems. MORTEN became synonymous with the Future Rave movement developed alongside David Guetta: enormous festival dynamics, dark synths, rave structures and mainstage pressure. Innellea traditionally arrived from the deeper melodic-techno spectrum, but his recent direction has widened considerably. Following The Belonging and 2025’s Finding Home, his 2026 releases including “Slave to the Hype” and “Bounce Music” point toward a less predictable, increasingly genre-fluid phase.

Put the two together and there is no obvious script. And that is exactly why their B2B is fascinating. The pairing is officially listed for September 5, making it one of the edition’s genuinely unusual collaborations.

Will Innellea pull MORTEN somewhere stranger and deeper? Will MORTEN drag Innellea into full festival-mode aggression? Or will they find a completely different middle ground. We do not know. And that is the point. This has all the ingredients to become one of PRIMER 2026’s most talked-about sets.

MIND AGAINST - Lunar Stage

Few acts understand the relationship between melancholy and club music quite like Mind Against. Alessandro and Federico Fognini have spent years developing a sound where techno propulsion meets deeply emotional synthesis and influences extending into IDM and cinematic electronic music. Alongside their long relationship with Afterlife, they have gradually expanded their own artistic ecosystem through HABITAT Records.

Their sets tend to reward patience. Rather than constantly searching for immediate drops, Mind Against are capable of letting atmosphere accumulate: dark passages, restrained melodies and long transitions eventually becoming much larger emotional releases.

At 02:00 or 03:00 inside Lunar, that approach makes substantially more sense than it does on a sunny afternoon. This is exactly the environment in which Mind Against should be heard.

ADAM TEN - Lunar Stage

Adam Ten represents another side of the current electronic landscape. Less cinematic than Mind Against and considerably more playful, his sets move through indie dance, house, melodic elements, unexpected vocals and elastic grooves. Through Maccabi House and releases across labels including Diynamic, Crosstown Rebels and Hot Creations, he has become closely associated with a new generation of dance music that refuses to sit comfortably inside one genre.

That unpredictability is precisely the attraction. Adam Ten sets can feel less like watching an artist reproduce a predefined aesthetic and more like following a DJ continuously test where the dancefloor is willing to go. For dancers rather than spectators, this is one to circle.

OMIKI - Lunar Stage

Omiki may be one of the most strategically interesting bookings on the entire lineup.

Originally rooted in psytrance, he has increasingly collided that world with the melodic-techno ecosystem. The evidence is already in the music: recent collaborations with Argy include “WIND,” “RITMO” and 2026’s “MANTRA,” while his catalogue continues to move between melodic house & techno and psytrance rather than choosing one side.

That crossover gives his sets a particular weapon. Psytrance can inject a level of speed, propulsion and rhythmic intensity that becomes dramatically different after hours of melodic techno.

And sometime deep into Saturday night (or technically Sunday morning) that may be exactly what Lunar needs.

If You Can Only Choose a Few…

Zamna x Primer 2026 has enough depth that there is no objectively correct route through the weekend. But there are performances whose context makes them harder to replace.

Armand Van Helden for the history.

Stephan Bodzin for the live format.

MRAK for the chance to enter Carmine Conte’s solo universe.

Innellea B2B MORTEN because nobody really knows what that collision will produce.

Omiki for the crossover between psytrance intensity and the melodic-techno world - and for the kind of high-energy late-night set that could completely change the character of Lunar.

And, of course, Axwell because opportunities to experience one of house music’s defining artists operating alone are simply not something we would take for granted.

If there is one piece of advice from dancetoday heading into Zamna x Primer Music Festival 2026, it is this: Don’t only chase the biggest drop. Choose the sets you may not be able to experience the same way again.

And one more thing: don’t overlook the Greek support acts. Kalamo on Friday’s Lunar Stage, and Da Mike and FILIPPOS on Saturday, deserve a proper crowd too. If you can, get there a little earlier, give them your energy and support the local scene instead of showing up only when the biggest names take over.

Full Circle: The support of the community is the most important thing

At dancetoday, we’ve consistently emphasized the importance of a strong local foundation in shaping a sustainable and meaningful electronic music culture. Within that context, we spoke with the team behind Full Circle and STYX Agency (Dimitris & Markos) an initiative primarily focused on supporting and developing local artists.

In this conversation, Dimitris & Markos share their perspective on the current state of the scene, their goals moving forward, and what to expect from this Saturday’s launch event at Odeio Athinon, marking the agency’s first official showcase.

Over the past few years, Full Circle has become an increasingly visible presence within Athens’ electronic music landscape. Their activity spans a mix of large scale bookings, open air gatherings, and concept driven events that reflect the scene’s ongoing growth and shifting identity.

A brief overview of their activity over the past four years, beginning in 2022 with their introduction through a debut large scale event at Benaki Museum, hosting WhoMadeWho live. In 2023, they hosted the full Keinemusik crew at Anassa City Events, an event that stood out at the time for both its scale and overall production, and is still widely referenced within the local scene. Till today remains one the most monumental events that took place in Athens in the past years.

Throughout 2024, they revisited Benaki Museum for a live show by Satori, and expanded their scope by bringing the internationally recognized No Art concept by ANOTR to the city for the first time. An indication of their intention to connect the local audience with established international formats.

The following year marked a series of high attendance events. A headline show featuring Adam Port and &ME at Army Park drew around 18,000 attendees across the globe, standing out as one of the largest electronic music gatherings in Athens in recent years. Within the same period, they also hosted Solomun, alongside a free block party that brought approximately 6,000 people together, featuring Carlita and WhoMadeWho.

full circle 2.jpg

Alongside these larger productions, Full Circle has also explored more accessible formats, including free events in central locations such as Thiseio in 2024 with &ME and Zappeio in 2025 with Avangart Tabldot, contributing to the visibility of electronic music in public space.

Their latest step is the launch of STYX Agency, a new platform focused on artist representation and the broader structure surrounding DJs and producers. The initiative appears to respond to the increasing demands placed on artists, as well as the evolving dynamics between talent, promoters, and venues.

The agency will be introduced this Saturday, April 4th, at Athens Conservatoire, through a launch event featuring the agency’s own roster, including Mångata Projekt, Sioma, Maarkk, Filippos and Man With The Speaker.

What inspired the creation of STYX Agency, and how did the name come about? The evolving demands placed on artists today who are no longer just producers and DJs, but also content creators, marketers, PR managers, and primary points of communication with promoters were a major driving force behind the creation of STYX Agency. There is a clear need for artists to reclaim creative time and maintain a focused, uncluttered mindset. At the same time, the booking process has become increasingly time consuming and complex, making structured support not just helpful, but essential. As for the name, those attending the event at Odeon this Saturday and taking the time to fully experience what we've created in collaboration with Sensory Productions will gain a deeper understanding of its meaning and connection to the agency. We strongly encourage guests to arrive early.

What are you seeking to achieve with Styx?

At its core, STYX aims to establish more efficient and adaptable communication between artists and promoters/clubs. On a deeper level, the vision extends to cultivating a culture of professionalism and mutual respect around the role of the modern DJ. This is a shared responsibility one that involves both artists and promoters.

What challenges do Greek artists currently face that STYX aims to support or change?

This ties closely to the previous point. A lack of structured respect for the profession, combined with limited cultural awareness of electronic music in Greece, often leads to challenging and, at times, uncomfortable situations for artists. Additionally, the rapid increase in competition over recent years has made professional representation a significant advantage, reinforcing its importance within the industry

What do you believe is missing from the current local ecosystem?

A more comprehensive and mature understanding of the scene. In Greece, the perception of events as "just parties" still persists, whereas in reality, they represent something far more layered and meaningful. Shifting this mindset also requires a more progressive approach from promoters though that is a broader conversation. There is also a noticeable absence of landmark venues comparable to those abroad. Such spaces could position Greece as a destination for electronic music tourism, offering local artists exposure to international audiences without the necessity of performing outside the country.

⁠How important is community support when it comes to building and elevating local artists?

It is, without question, the most important of all!!

Will STYX remain focused exclusively on Greek talent, or do you see it expanding internationally in the future?

Just as music transcends borders, we remain open and attentive to new talent globally. That said, our primary focus is to build a strong core rooted in local artists.

What can people expect from this first event on April 4th at Athens Conservatoire, both musically and conceptually?

A highly distinctive concept presentation, something never before experienced at Odeon.

The event will showcase one dimension of the agency through immersive and interactive elements, ambient lighting, and direct engagement with the people behind STYX Agency, its artists, Full Circle, and Sensory Productions.

Musically, the lineup reflects a wide spectrum of sound, highlighting the diversity within the agency.

In collaboration with M-Link Studios, attendees will also have the opportunity to interact with music equipment experimenting with keyboards and other gear installed in a dedicated room.

Finally, producers and DJs are invited to bring their own music, share it with us, and potentially have their tracks featured in future sets by our artists.

27:T2427,

Few artists embody the rise of American techno quite like Sam Wolfe. Atlanta native, a city better known for its hip-hop legacy than four-on-the-floor intensity, Sam has become a driving force in reshaping its musical identity. From local residencies that built his reputation as a charismatic performer to a discography stacked with Beatport Top 10s and releases on powerhouse labels like 1605, Filth On Acid, Tronic, and Experts Only, Sam’s sound walks the line between raw power and emotional depth. With over 24 million streams and global support from names like Adam Beyer, Solomun, John Summit, and Swedish House Mafia, his music speaks to both warehouse purists and mainstage crowds alike. Now, with his latest release on Heldeep Records freshly out, Sam Wolfe stands firmly at the forefront of techno’s next evolution. Proof that authenticity and connection still reign supreme on the dance floor.

We had the opportunity to catch up with Sam shortly after the release to talk about the creative process behind his new track ‘Swipe Right’, what it means to join the Heldeep family, and how he continues to push American techno forward. In our conversation, he opens up about his studio workflow, the energy behind the release, and the importance of community within the EDM scene.

What inspired the vibe or concept of this particular track?

The Techno Scene is changing, and I have been finding club records with a tech house groove, mixed with my signature techno aggression to be working best. The vocal gets the energy going, and the synths have that bite that I love so much.

When you started working on this track, did you already have a sound in mind, or did it evolve naturally in the studio?

All my tracks always kind of evolve over time, I usually start throwing things against the wall, but the most important part is knowing when you can do better, and not being afraid to delete what you have already done in order to make room for a stronger idea overall. I think that is the biggest thing that takes time as a producer to learn to do, so the original demo sounded nothing like this final version.

How did your connection with Heldeep and Oliver Heldens come about?

I actually first spoke with Oliver 14 years ago, when I was in college and he was just getting started. I was a campus rep for the music blog "this song slaps" and he saw that and messaged me on facebook and would send me some early unreleased promo's. I knew at the time his big room sound was going to go far for him. Then fast forward 9 years later I started producing myself, and put my first tracks out right at the same time he launched HI-LO, his techno alias. Fast forward and we got on a few similar lineups, Seismic Dance event, & I had direct support duties for a show in Atlanta. We stayed in touch and then I sent him a few records he likes, including my next release December 5th on HILOMATIK, called the party. Oliver is a really solid dude, and genuinely cares about the music first, which is cool. We vibe well and he is a good dude.

What’s it like working with such a respected label in the electronic scene?

It's nice because they are very on the ball, and very on point and take their work seriously. This is nice to find.

How do you see your sound evolving as we head into 2026?

I think it's a continuous evolution of what I like and what also the people want, which is what is working for me on the dance floor. Hard hitting tracks, but one's that you can listen to in the car or outside the club. Signature Sam Wolfe style, with my bite and aggression, but still fun and enjoyable to listen to.

Are there any upcoming collaborations, remixes, or shows you’re particularly excited about?

I am playing a big 3 hour b2b with Charles D in Toronto November 28th, and my next release The Party on HILOMATIK will be a good one.

What’s one message or feeling you want fans to take away from this release?

For those that have been with me since the beginning, I hope you enjoy the evolution of my sound and all of the hard work I've put into crafting it. And for those just hearing my music for the first time, welcome, and come hangout at a show sometime (that is always the most fun part).

Favorite Heldeep release of all time?

I used to listen to Renegade Mastah back from 2015 all the time, that was a classic, and really fresh sounding for the time.

Dream B2B set?

Got to be Solomun or Eric Prydz.

How important is the role of the communities for the scene?

The Scene is a community, without the EDM community, there is no scene. There is no tech house or techno scene without the Community as a whole. The community is the reason I can travel (as a fan) halfway across the world, and go to a festival like Untold in Romania, completely alone, and meet some of the best people and just vibe out (that is a true story from 2018). So to answer your question, extremely important.

Listen to ‘Swipe Right’ by Sam Wolfe, out now on Heldeep Records.
