We’ve called in lots of favours and delved CE Summer Festivals Guide, August 2009– 14

deep into our pockets to bring you the best DJs, groups, music promoters, labels and club nights we have had the pleasure of working with over the past 5 years.

Disco 3000 was born out of a desire to unite these wellestablished organizations and their loyal followers from all across Europe for one reason: to share their love of the music. The festival will be a sun-drenched melting pot for like-minded individuals to express themselves and open their minds to music of all genres. festival tips In Petrcane there are a number of forms of accommodation available to suit every taste.

enTechno Festival when September 5th, 2009 where Cultural Center Greek World, Athens – GREECE website http://www.entechnoathens.gr tickets Ticket for the festival can be found in advance for 20 EUR on Resident Advisor. line up Ellen Allien, Wighnomy Brothers, Argy, And.Id, Chevy, CJ Jeff, GummiHz, K.atou, Kreon, Lemos, Leon Segka, Mr.Statik, Novox and Tolis Q. preview Through the course of the past few years, the new generation of Greek underground dance producers has accomplished something that still remains a difficult feat to the majority of the mainstream artists of the same country. To make a breakthrough in the international dance arena, through releases in renowned foreign labels and gigs in the most esteemed clubs and festivals around the world. What is also noteworthy is the fact that a great portion of the aforementioned artists have more bookings abroad than in the frontiers of their own country. It’s a fact that Greece possesses a vibrant dance scene that still starves for spaces and locations that can promote their

work and their aesthetics. Locations that live up to an alternative mentality, technically apt and familiar to those who refuse to forget and those who crave to know the «rave» aspect of a party.

Apart from the artists who are still based in Athens, many djs/producers have already relocated abroad in cities like London and Berlin, establishing an even closer relationship with the international dance scene and putting together a bio that impresses with gigs at wellknown festivals like Movement, Sonar, Exit, Winter Music Conference (Miami/U.S.A.) and many more.

Therefore it’s obvious beyond a shadow of a doubt, that it is time for the Greek dance scene to receive its kiss of life and to be promoted in the way that it truly deserves, as a unity and not fragmented. This is the basic motive behind the initiative of Panayiotis Pilafas, a new music talent from New York, and Nektarios Ioannidis, the one of the founders of the team reSOLUTE, who after a really successful event series in New York, decided to organize a 24 hour dance event, in their birth place, under the title enTechno, on the 5th of September at the Cultural Center «Hellenic Cosmos». festival tips The city is one of the world’s main centres of archaeological research and has been a popular destination for travellers since antiquity. The city also supports a vast number of music venues, theatrical stages and open air garden cinemas, more than any other city in the world.
