SUMMARY:Showcase: Xcellence (GR)
DESCRIPTION:The most innovative artists transform\, evolve\, shape-shift\, and refuse to be confined. 23-year-old Nikolas Papadopoulos\, the mind behind the project Xcellence\, is a shining example of a restless\, multifaceted artist on the European music scene. \nBorn into a musical family in Patras in 2000 and raised in Corfu\, Nikolas showed an early affinity for music\, beginning his journey at the age of eight. Now a classically trained percussionist with a diploma\, he has collaborated with numerous ensembles and institutions as a musician\, soloist\, and educator. Since 2020\, he has also been a member of the European Union Youth Orchestra based in Belgium. His classical compositions\, along with inventive reworks of artists ranging from Hans Zimmer to Ravel\, have come to life on stage performed by these very ensembles. \nNikolas began producing electronic music at the age of 14. As Xcellence\, his explosive future bass tracks—often climbing to the top of SoundCloud and Audiomack charts within hours—transport him from orchestras and operas to the stages of local festivals like the Primer Music Festival. He also blends his electronic music with 15-piece percussion ensembles as a live performer. He seamlessly shifts into introspective downtempo-house with tracks like “Tell Me When\,” released by one of the world’s largest electronic music platforms\, Proximity\, garnering hundreds of thousands of streams. This is followed by “Breathe\,” a bedroom-pop collaboration with Annamarie Rosanio\, which lands on editorial playlists on both Spotify and SoundCloud. \nMore recently\, his cutting-edge experiments bridging classical and electronic music have put him on the radar of industry giants such as Ninja Tune\, Because Music\, Foreign Family Collective\, and Axtone\, among others. His hypnotic debut EP\, afterHOURS\, made waves among audiences and European media alike. His second EP\, EP1\, released independently\, reached #1 on Greece’s Bandcamp Best Selling Electronic Chart and #3 on the All Genre Chart. It was later re-released by Cobalt Music / Warner Music Greece and received early radio support from stations like En Lefko 87.7\, among others.

SUMMARY:Showcase: Moonlight Benjamin (FR/HT)
DESCRIPTION:As a longtime favorite of Martin Gore (Depeche Mode) and Iggy Pop\, Haitian Vodou priestess Moonlight Benjamin explores the roots of blues and rock in this new opus. Carried by a deeper and darker sound\, and by the unique voice of Moonlight—influenced by Alabama Shakes\, Oumou Sangaré\, and Dr. John—the album Wayo is a primal scream\, a mystifying and mystical musical mixture\, almost shamanic\, an incantation of liberation in the midst of raging guitars and propulsive drumming. \nNicknamed “The Caribbean Patti Smith” by The Guardian (UK)\, Moonlight Benjamin plays a powerful and original music blending Caribbean Vodou melodies and a ’70s blues rock inspired by Dr. John\, Alabama Shakes\, The Black Keys\, and Oumou Sangaré. \nThe encounter between Moonlight’s powerful and rebellious voice and the tension of saturated guitars turns the Vodou trance into a new and explosive style. \nBetween 2018 and 2021\, she was named Martin Gore’s (Depeche Mode) 2020 favorite\, received airplay from Iggy Pop himself on the BBC\, was featured on the covers of both Songlines and fRoots magazines (UK)\, and was reviewed by major media such as The Guardian (UK)\, The Financial Times (UK)\, and The New York Times (US). She also performed 65 gigs in 15 countries at major festivals and venues across Europe and North America.

SUMMARY:Showcase: Primo Bake (GR)
DESCRIPTION:Primo Bake’s sound is a sumptuous blend of primitive rock n’ roll (ala Stooges) and contemporary garage rock\, a sound that is best heard live with the fourth beer of the evening in hand. If you’re looking for them\, you’ll likely find them in a cloud of smoke\, jamming away in a glowing echo chamber – that is\, unless they’ve found out that their grandma’s cooked something smokin’ for lunch. The only sure thing is that Primo Bake jointly drive their own psychedelic garage punk bumper car – and they’re coming right at us!

Ραδιοφωνικοί παραγωγοί\, μουσικοί επιμελητές και bookers από κορυφαία ελληνικά ραδιόφωνα και φεστιβάλ φέρνουν στη σκηνή τραγούδια από νέους καλλιτέχνες/συγκροτήματα που τους κέρδισαν κι αποφάσισαν να τους προγραμματίσουν στο airtime ή να τους δώσουν ένα slot ως main/support act σε live ή φεστιβάλ. \nΣε μια ζωντανή κουβέντα\, θα μιλήσουν για τι τους κάνει να ξεχωρίζουν ένα τραγούδι\, πώς αποφασίζουν τι θα παίξει στα ραδιόφωνα ή στα φεστιβάλ\, ποιο είναι το «κλικ» που τους πείθει να υποστηρίξουν έναν καλλιτέχνη και πώς «προωθείς» σήμερα στην ελληνική αγορά ένα εντελώς άγνωστο πρωτοεμφανιζόμενο όνομα. \nΕίτε είσαι ακροατής που θες να μάθεις τι “παίζει” πίσω από τις επιλογές\, είτε καλλιτέχνης ή επαγγελματίας που θέλει να δει πώς λειτουργεί το παρασκήνιο\, αυτή είναι μια σπάνια ευκαιρία να δεις πώς χτίζονται οι επόμενες μουσικές επιτυχίες — από αυτούς που τις φέρνουν στο φως. \nPowered by AMW Academy \nModerator: Panagiotis Menegos
