Day 2 | STEGI.RADIO Takeover 2026

The Main Stage is taken over by “Detroit Love,” a mobile party by the legendary Carl Craig, aiming to showcase the musical heritage of Motor City, the birthplace of techno. Four hours of a b2b set between Carl Craig and the iconic Moodymann, one of the most influential and enduring voices in Black underground electronic music. Before them, DJ Holographic, one of the leading female voices of the new generation of underground dance music, takes the decks. Funk, soul, and house influences are infused with the characteristic Detroit techno sound in an act that will be hard to forget for those who experience it. The evening opens with one of the most talked-about DJs of the Athenian scene and STEGI.RADIO resident, K. Atou, and Ilias Pitsios, founder of the record label Into the Light.

The Upper Stage presents three diverse, unique live performances from the Mediterranean: Nadah El Shazly, who blends experimental sounds with traditional Arabic influences and improvisational rhythms; cellist Nikos Veliotis, co-founder of the group In Trance 95 and collaborator of Giannis Aggelakas, together with violinist Kalliopi Mitropoulou, crafting dream-like atmospheres and noisy intensities; and Prins Obi, co-founder of Baby Guru, reimagining songs from his discography for piano and vocals.

STEGI.RADIO Takeover calls the audience to dance to a feverish amalgam of contemporary club music on level –1 of Onassis Stegi. DJ Travella raises the energy with his take on Tanzania’s frenzied singeli style, while fast-rising UK bass producer and DJ Mia Koden joins forces with legendary dancehall MC Warrior Queen. The night closes with Mauritius-born GЯEG delivering a generous, high-BPM blend of jungle, techno, house, kuduro, and other underground sounds. The stage kicks off with eclectic bass selections from STEGI.RADIO residents Stathis Kalatzis and Figlio Böler.

At +3, a breath of calm arrives with the multi-genre, wide-ranging selections of Giannis Petridis, Guy Veale, and Maria Pappa.

Behind the Onassis Stegi building, at Galaxy Studio, Georgia Taglietti, press officer of the Sónar Festival for over 20 years, will deliver a masterclass for musicians, creative professionals, and individuals involved in music production, promotion, or record labels. The seminar, entitled “Survival kit for emerging artists: A guide to today’s music industry ecosystem,” offers a survival guide for emerging artists in Europe’s music industry.
