Saturday 24 October 2026 Echoes of the Upper World Line Up Kostas Pieces Argy Echosense The Rolling Stoned PoEt Dat Oracle ITAthens Σολωμού 30 και Μπότσαρη 9 Είσοδος 10 € At that time in Athens, people had just thrown their drachmas into the past and were dreaming of a future with European fairies and green suns. In a working meadow of endless terragons, behind neat offices and freshly painted cheeks, two teenage speakers were singing a poem by Logic Bomb. The traveler PoEt, a graphic designer by profession, immediately distinguished the sweet Scandinavian lyrics through the rustling of the wind and headed towards the spot as if listening to the Sirens of the Odyssey. To his great surprise, he met an entity named Argy Echosense who may have looked like a graphic designer but was actually a creator of texts and digital video performances in Matrix evening hours. Their acquaintance went through 40 waves, 82 plains, 6,322 clouds, 12,674 lightning strikes and was harmonized when they both met Kosta Pieces at the Dice Radio radio station. This Saturday they will share with you images and sounds from the future but they will not forget to recall some dreams from yesterday. PoEt / SquareLab Music Early Beginnings and DJ Era (1999–2013) The Spark: His journey into electronic music began in 1999 amidst the burgeoning underground movement in Greece. The Format: He started his career as a DJ performing at private, open-air forest and beach gatherings using DAT (Digital Audio Tape) players, which were the standard for underground psytrance DJs at the turn of the millennium. The Evolution: For nearly 15 years, he refined his track selection and mixing techniques, becoming well-versed in the intricate structures of deep nighttime psychedelic music. Launch of the PoEt Project (2014–Present) The Transition: After years behind the decks, Minas transitioned into the studio in 2014, officially launching his music production project under the alias PoEt. Sound Signature: He moved away from standard progressive styles to craft a distinctly heavy, driving form of nighttime and twilight psychedelic trance. His signature style features deep rolling basslines, eerie mechanical soundscapes, and fast-tempo synthetic modular leads. Label Affiliations: His creative output quickly caught the attention of global labels. He has since released music and collaborative tracks with Sangoma Records and is currently signed to the roster of SquareLab Music. The Rolling Stoned / Spiral Trax The Rolling Stoned, the story In this project, we have to do with the homogenization of the two indissoluble and different music personalities of Kostas Pieces and Argy Echosense. The composition and structure of the “Rolling Stoned” Project begun from a back-to-back DJ Set at a festival, which instead of creating competitive vibes between them, it gave them the perspective of the perfect match and collaboration. The student years of Kostas away from Greece and his living in Hungary, gave him the chance to experience the whole 90s alternation in music, from a very small distance. At the same time, Argyris (Argy) was counting the bpms of Athens, in front and behind the dexx, with his livelihood being journalism, in newspapers, magazines and TV. Their random meeting at a radio station’s booth was the beginning of a collab which was about to determine their mutual, music future. They both are a part of the dance floor. They mix according to the environment and the things happening in front of them. They actually direct days and nights (with samples, sounds, tracks and any form of music source), according to audience’s mentality, time, moment and the music style- character of the party they are. Since 2014 they “have plowed” clubs and festivals, next to top of their kind, such as: Micky (Wizzy Noise), Asimilon (Bom Shanka), Predators, Electric Universe, Wingman, Prana (Matsuri), The Delta, Tsuyoshi, Ordo Ab Chao (Sonic Loom), Hux Flux, Miranda, Etnica – Pleiadians, Logic Bomb, Joti Sidhu – Psychaos, Transwave – Deedrah, Alien Project, Gene Joke, Synthologic, Total Eclipse, Plasmatix, Diksha – Synkronic , Eat Static etc. In 2024, Andrei Nastasa (ZILARAY) was integrated in the project, giving a special touch, with the consignment of the knowledge he gained next to the top musician Vangelis (Vangelis Papathanasiou), being his last “student” before the creator passed away. In 2025, the three members of the Rolling Stoned are officially on the “chariots of fire”, under the roof of the “Spiral Trax”.
