Introduction
The second day of STEGI.RADIO Takeover fuses melancholy and braininess with fury and explosiveness.
The Main Stage is overrun by the AFRODEUTSCHE’s polyrhythmic compositions, the masterful union of gqom and hip hop sounds by South African trio Phelimuncasi, as well as the ingenious IDM of Warp Record’s iconic band Plaid. The evening opens with an eclectic DJ set by Veil and melancholic pop sounds by Nalyssa Green.
On the Upper Stage, nostalgic synth sounds by Paidi Travma meet both Heith’s ritualistic electro-acoustic ambient and Charbel Haber’s music.
The -1 hosts an experimental, frenzied club night. Prison Religion’s hardcore live electronics, the promising producer Poor J’Darr and “broken” beats by Ice_Eyes pass the baton to the wild percussion rhythms of TSVI. Miss Trouli opens the evening with a sensual, glossy DJ set, whereas Ayshel wraps up the night with her signature sound of heavy techno.
The Foyer +4 hosts a live radio broadcast by young producers BUILTONSOIL; the films “Answering the Sun” and “The Electric Kiss” by Rainer Kohlberger, and “The Atrocity Exhibition” by Jonathan Weiss are screened on the Upper Stage, whereas Galaxy Studio turns into a therapeutic yoga retreat featuring the legendary ambient composer Laraaji with Arji OceAnanda.

Veil
Veil, aka Marina Legaki, formed groups with friends as a child and fantasized about running a newspaper, and being in a band and a graffiti crew. As a member of the fictional Bombers Without Manners crew and Submission punk band, she played out her dreams. The universe somehow brought OMMU and Blind Mind Editions, Inner Life on STEGI.RADIO, Bad Sandwich, and DJ sets at Sklires Indies, Lulu, Latraac, and her personal highlight, Killymeia Festival, which allowed her to create new print and sound fantasy worlds. Love to those who spread our music: Kath, Agent Mo, Eleni Poulou, Matteo, Seou, Kostis, and Hard.
Nalyssa Green
Nalyssa Green is a singer, songwriter, and thereminist from Athens, Greece. She has released two albums: the 2010 lo-fi DIY “Barock” (self-released) and the 2012 folk-rock “The Seed” (Inner Ear). She is known for her gentle and ethereal voice, romantic melodies, dramatic outbursts, and passionate performances. In addition to her songwriting and performing activities, she also composes music for the theater. Her third album, “Bloom,” was released in October 2018 and is her first record in her mother tongue.Plaid
Plaid sit right at the very heart of global electronica. In fact, there’s a very real sense in which Ed Handley and Andy Turner are the perfect encapsulation of what the electronic music of their generation was all about. As Plaid and as two-thirds of The Black Dog, they were central to the “Artificial Intelligence” movement of the early-mid 1990s: Alongside their Warp stablemates Autechre, Aphex Twin, B12, and allies like Richie Hawtin, Speedy J, Kenny Larkin, they brought new rhythmic variation, emotive melody, and sensual textures to electronic music, creating a warm and welcoming counterpart to the white heat of the rave explosion.Phelimuncasi
Phelimuncasi formed in 2012 in the Umlazi township of Durban, South Africa, as a trio of Gqom vocalists comprised of twins Makan Nana and Khera and Malathon. Their music is definitely enchanting and potent, richly imbued with an immense storytelling tradition that harks back to southern African toyi-toyi: Α powerful dance of protest and struggle accompanied by rhythmic singing that was used during an anti-apartheid demonstration to intimidate police and security forces. No surprise that Phelimuncasi have been called to perform at many political functions for the African National Congress and South African left-wing Pan-Africanist party EFF (Economic Freedom Fighters).
AFRODEUTSCHE
AFRODEUTSCHE (Henrietta Smith-Rolla) is a British-born Ghanaian-Russian-German artist, composer, producer, and DJ based in Manchester. Her polyrhythmic compositions integrate a wide array of musical genres, including Afrofuturistic electro and techno, classical solo piano, and Detroit legacy house; all memorable journeys into deep, abstracted sound. AFRODEUTSCHE’s DJ style is a synthesis of Drexciyan and Underground Resistance-inspired selections, intercut with a variety of forward-thinking UK techno such as Bola and Lego Feet.
Charbel Haber
Charbel Haber is a musician, performer, visual artist, and composer from Beirut. His work has seen him collaborate with artists from a wide range of disciplines (film, video art, visuals, theater) both in Lebanon and the rest of the world. In addition to his solo ambient works (released on Discrepant, Scum Yr Earth, Nahal, Ruptured, Al Maslakh), he founded the post-punk group Scrambled Eggs and is co-founder of two experimental record labels (Those Kids Must Choke, Johnny Kafta’s Kids Menu). Haber has collaborated with notable artists from the fields of free rock and improv (Michael Zerang, Mats Gustafson, Jean- François Pauvros, Tony Buck) and is a member of multiple music ensembles (Malayeen, Johnny Kafta Anti-Vegetarian Orchestra, Omarchestra). His latest works are a multimedia release on Nicolas Jaar’s Other People label and “Enfin La Nuit” with Fadi Tabbal, released on Nahal Recordings.
Heith
Heith’s music crosses many different sonic landscapes, but it sets the ground on a no man’s land of electronic music, where organic and digital clash thoroughly and constantly. Often reminiscing confusion and puzzlement, his music paves the way for a mediated conflict between different practices, something that was extremely clear in his latest opus, “X, Wheel,” released by PAN in October 2022, where synths, percussion, and electronics often occupy and dispute the same space as organic elements, such as guitar. This renders his music extremely textural, thus visual and rhythmic, surpassing the over-explored European tradition of melody-harmony, above all, in a contemporary ritualistic form yet to be mapped.
Paidi Travma
Paidi Travma writes his songs in a high-rise apartment building in downtown Athens. His true identity was revealed for the first time in his new album “Mainstream,” which offers a thorough insider’s view into a family's relationships. His discography includes two more concept albums, namely “Mystikes Horeftikes Kiniseis” [Secret Dance Moves] (2018) and “Tha Katastrepso ton Kosmo” [I’ll Destroy the World] (2020). Following a highly successful music tour for the promotion of “Mainstream,” which culminated with a spectacular live performance in Athens accompanied by strings and brass instruments, Paidi Travma and his band are found in top form. The ensemble presents shows that develop full-blown artistic proposals and stand out for their energy and the audience of hardcore fans.
Miss Trouli
Wannabe pop icon, DJ, and club culture researcher, Miss Trouli is a true dancefloor aficionada. Her inquiries meddle with the embodied experience, healing process, and dissolving of hierarchies taking place on the dancefloor.
Ice_Eyes
Athens-based duo Ice_Eyes formed in 2012. They started producing leftfield electronic music forms and experimenting with modern club territories, techniques, and atmospheres. Since 2022, Ice_Eyes has become a solo project by Anastasios Tatsis. Currently, Ice_Eyes hosts a monthly show on STEGI.RADIO Athens (fka Movement Radio), while in the last few years, the Athens-based producer has recorded many shows on NTS, Threads Radio, Rinse France, Noods Radio, Ma3azef Radio (Tunis, Cairo), and HKCR, among others. At the Onassis Stegi, Ice_Eyes will present “Harmonic Sequences,” a live show featuring the updated material of the project, plus processed/edited works produced in collaboration with other artists.Prison Religion
The Richmond, Virginia duo’s work offers escape while also holding up a mirror to where we’re at societally – and yelling about it. The music, then, is meeting the need both sonically and subject-wise for what they weren’t hearing elsewhere, evolving over the years alongside the conversation of its two members, friends Parker Black and Warren Jones. Their sound is a genuine reaction to the world around them: We are already in the apocalypse. Where once Prison Religion’s songs looked out to space, on their most recent album, “Hard Industrial Bop,” the pair has fallen back to Earth, defecting from the laws of a war-torn planet, fighting against an impenetrable world order of known abusers and fear.
Poor J’Darr
Poor J’Darr is a young and upcoming producer from Athens, looking to find his way in life through electronic music.
TSVI
TSVI, aka Guglielmo Barzacchini, is an Italian DJ and producer living in London; he makes functional, electronic percussive tracks with influences originating from a diverse range of music all over the world. TSVI is a leading light of London’s rave underground scene and co-founder of the UK-based record label Nervous Horizon, which is shaping the contemporary sound of highly percussive, stripped-back club music. His debut album, “Inner Worlds,” released in October 2018, is an exploration of his Hindu upbringing and the Sufi Islam introduced by his partner. In late 2019, Barzacchini debuted his new alias, Anunaku, on London-based label Whites; the project is strictly focused on dance floor material within the 125–130bpm spectrum and explores the use of various drums from around the world combined with elements of the UK underground club music.
Ayshel
Ayshel is a young DJ based in Athens. Her selections are located somewhere between tribal beats, hypnotic melodies, and industrial sounds. Her sets are mostly based on electro, through a constant exploration of dark and ethereal atmospheres while also trying to bridge her metal music origins with techno and acid elements.
BUILTONSOIL
BUILTONSOIL is a collective formed by visual artist ACMAERKL and musician Klearchos Papastylos.
Answering the Sun (2022, 59΄, dir. Rainer Kohlberger)
The invitation is to squint our eyes and allow the most amazing trips to unfold. The work is a bombardment of colored fields and a wall of sound, followed by a hallucinatory, silent, inky-black sequence.
The Atrocity Exhibition (1998, 102΄, dir. Jonathan Weiss)
Based on J. G. Ballard’s novel of the same title, the film follows Travis Talbert, a university professor fascinated with humankind’s history of violent self-destruction. Joined by his colleague, Dr. Nathan, and his mistress, Talbert begins staging elaborate reenactments of humanity’s most grotesque and infamous acts against itself. At some point, Talbert considers using his talents to begin World War III as the ultimate nihilist statement.
The Electric Kiss (2024, 18΄, dir. Rainer Kohlberger)
Rainer Kohlberger continues his mission to explore and push the boundaries of our sensory perception in new and surprising ways. In “The Electric Kiss,” algorithmically generated images are harmoniously paired with a tantalizing score by Jung An Tagen. Richer in text than its predecessor, “Answering the Sun” (screened in IFFR 2022), this work explores the past, the present, and the future while questioning the relationship between ourselves and the constructions of reality.
