One of the most original creators on the British electronic scene, Daniel Avery has been building his own galaxy, sprinkling familiar motifs with his secret stardust, transforming club music into cosmic background radiation, and assembling radiant tracks that shoot into the ionosphere, becoming instant classics.
An exceptional producer and eclectic selector, his DJ sets move from left-field ambience through to great techno strokes, alternating dark and raw tracks with bright or hovering melodies.
His new album ‘Ultra Truth’, has become an instant classic presenting euphoric, dark and heavy beats and atmospheres full of emotions. A wonderful journey from ambient to IDM and techno. A true masterpiece.
This year, the inimitable Daniel Avery makes his reworks debut. We’re proud to have one of the most forward-thinking minds in dance music in Thessaloniki.
MARRØN is always trying to exceed the limits of himself and the crowd, with his fast but extremely rhythmic techno sound driven by his roots.
Highly inspired by the powerful and strong-willed Marrons who freed themselves from slavery to live freely in the primeval forest of Surinam. Starting his musical evolution with Afro Deep, characterized by its African beats and used these elements to connect with techno music. The freedom and diversity of techno persuaded him to really dig into the underground scene and create a name of his own. This sound contains African groove and a powerful but atmospheric techno sound with which he aims to hypnotize the crowd to stay on the dancefloor for hours.
Thessaloniki and Greece absolutely love them. Their music has managed to reach the most sensitive senses of the people and with no doubt ARTBAT are cherished like a few acts in Greece. Today they enjoy global recognition, with performances on key festivals and clubs, while they release powerful tunes via their Upperground record label.
The key to ARTBAT success lies within their characteristic sound of the highest quality. Their tracks have an impressive capacity to fuel both intimate dance floors and huge arenas with energy and drive. Their sets capture exactly that feeling.
Last year they gave one of the most memorable evenings on preworks event. This year ARTBAT returns to the exact same place where they stole our hearts. See you on the dancefloor.
