Info: For quite a long, Infaderz crew contribute actively to the Greek electronic music scene. It all begun in the year 1992 when the Jungle/Breakbeat music first appeared. Ever since, Infaderz crew also known “Cyber Future Sound” / “Short Circuit”/ “Underground Movement” spread and support Drum & Bass music as well as Breakbeat/Funk/Electro and similar sounds. The period 2001-2002 was a major Breakthru for the crew, since it participated to the Break Sessions project at Mylos Art|house, a memorable event with great success. After that, Infaderz started working with Art|House – Alisida where they booked a worldwide known D.J. / producer Mickey Finn. They continue by setting up a Breakdance contest among other local gigs and later on they invited another big Drum ‘n’ Bass name, Gavin King aka D.J. Aphrodite. Collaborations with other Greek and foreign D.J. crews never stopped, leading Infaderz outside Greek borders. 2009 ended with the best possible way for the crew, as it appeared alongside Ltj Bukem at Thessaloniki’s Block 33 venue,and the new year started the same way with the successful “new years eve” party also at block 33. As for the the near future, Infaderz promise many gigs with loads of fun, dancing and quality electronic music, elements that characterize their events thru the years.

Info: We are Parafiestas, a group of 4 young musicians from Larissa, Greece. We started playing in early 2008 and our playlist consisted only with cover songs. Early in March the same year we appeared at Stage music club (Larissa) in a school band contest it held, winning the 1st prize; a free recording of 1 song. So in June of 2008 we recorded our first song called “Stop It”. After a couple of appeareances in Larissa we decided it was time to enter the studio once again in the end of the year. So eventually in February, 2009 we uploaded in our myspace page our second song called “The Real Side Of Life”. Then we gigged in Larissa and not only numerous times at Clubs and Festivals. That’s how 2009 passed and at Spring of 2010 we entered the studio once again to record our 4 song demo called Breaking the Cage. Finally after one month of recording we released our demo when we played at Under The Bridge Festival in Larissa. Now we continue our activity and enjoy playing our own music along with wide known song covers.

Info: The trip begun in summer 2008 from when the party is collecting experiences and ideas which they are continuously filtering reaching to today’s shape; finding Phase delivering this tight alloy of music, which the press tends to call psychedelic / alternative / progressive rock. Apart from their own, on and off their country’s borders, successful shows, they’ve shared the stage with historic acts as well as for contemporary, established artists close to their idiom like Jeff Martin (The Tea Party – [CA]), Danny Cavanagh (Anathema – [UK]), Anneke van Giersbergen (The Gathering – [NL]) and many more. In the beginning of 2010 their digital single “Perdition” was selected to participate in Microsoft’s “Playlist Seven” program while worth of mentioning is Duncan Patterson’s (Anathema, Antimatter, Ion – [UK]) effort on “Ibidem”, a musical statement of their debut LP “In Consequence”; a dark, rolling, mysterious album where rock music meets folk and industrial sounds covered brilliantly by an awarded artwork entitled “The Tree of Li(f)e” brought to our cognizable dimensions by Aris Liapis. Turn off your mind and relax tripping among Phase’s frequencies… Share Shape, Space… Phase. Share Shape, Space… Phase.

Info: Οι Groove είναι ένα φρέσκο νεανικό συγκρότημα με έδρα την Λάρισα που κινείται κυρίως στον χώρο της ελληνικής αλλά και ξένης mainstream Pop – Rock σκηνής.

Όλα ξεκίνησαν τον Οκτώβριο του 2009 όταν ο Αλέξης (φωνή) και ο Θάνος (πλήκτρα) ύστερα από αρκετές εμφανίσεις μαζί αναζητώντας ένα ολοκληρωμένο και επαγγελματικό σχήμα έφεραν στην παρέα τον Νίκο (μπάσο). Ο Γιάννης (ηλεκτρική κιθάρα) και ο Στέφανος (τύμπανα) ήρθαν να συμπληρώσουν το group και πράγματα πήραν την τωρινή τους μορφή!

H λέξη Groove είναι η αίσθηση του ρυθμού που προκαλείται απο το αρμονικό παίξιμο όλων των οργάνων της μπάντας που σου δημιουργεί την θέληση να κουνηθείς, να χορέψεις να νιώσεις την μουσική. Σημαντικό να επιτευχθεί και ακόμη πιο σημαντική η μετάδοσή του στον κόσμο!

Οι Groove το καταφέρνουν και κάνουν κάθε live εμφάνισή τους μία δυνατή εμπειρία!

Αλέξης Παπατάσιος: Φωνή, Γιάννης Μπάγιος: Hλεκτρική κιθάρα, Θάνος Παρασκευάς: Πλήκτρα, Νίκος Αλεξίου: Μπάσο, Στέφανος Πάλλας: Τύμπανα.

In their live shows, Locomondo try to capture the energy and the feel of a party, where the crowd and the band share the common experience of a great “fiesta”. Many of their songs have been big hits in Greece.
