The Spell

On the heels of "Smoldered Out" comes the Spell's latest release, "Everything I Own" , “Everything I Own” is a touching and authentic tribute to the original Bread song from 1972. The Spell recorded it as a duet, trading verses and phrases back and forth between members Kenny Marquez and Tara B. They sprinkle their harmonies throughout like a chef wielding a shaker of fine spice. Since it was released it has reached #1 on the Apple Music Charts in both France and Denmark.

Midnight Fuel

Midnight Fuel is a rock band from Thessaloniki, Greece. Formed in 2013 when vocalist/songwriter Gio Dimitriadis collaborated with keyboardist Aggelos Abatzis and guitarist George Kyrou. A while later, drummer Babis Kalogiannis and bassist Jim Zacharof joined the band after the invitation of Gio Dimitriadis.

Influenced by a wide spectrum of musical styles, Midnight Fuel's sound include rock, indie, blues and alternative elements.

In July 17, 2017, the band released digitally the debut album "River Busted". The production was independent, made by Aggelos Abatzis, while the compositions are written by Gio Dimitriadis*.
The album includes 7 original compositions and a reprise-alternate take version of the "One More Day" original track.

In May 2022, after a long 5-year of being inactive, and with two member replacements, Apo Vamvakidis (guitar) and Vaggelis Katsis (drums), the band ascended with a new powerful album, titled “Figures In The Dark”. It consists of 8 new tracks, two of which are instrumental and once again, the flexibility of the band’s style allows the making of an album with sounds fluctuating from experimental to classic.”

Rozina Pátkai

Rozina Patkai's "Taladim" is a groundbreaking project that redefines the boundaries between genres, offering a unique fusion of poetry and jazz.

With its thoughtful instrumentation and commitment to the authenticity of the poetic word, the album stands as a remarkable achievement in contemporary music. One of the most remarkable aspects of "Taladim" is its commitment to preserving the integrity of the poems. The lyrics are presented in their original language, which not only honors the poet's original expression but also adds a layer of authenticity to the musical interpretation. This choice enriches the listening experience, allowing the emotional and cultural nuances of the poetry to shine through, unfiltered and potent.
