GIOUMOURTZINA ALBUM STREAM
Greek Duo Gioumourtzina were formed in May, 2014, in Thessaloniki, Greece by Anestis Neiros (synth, vocals) and John Tselikas (electric bass). It all started a month earlier when the two musicians first met in order to create an electronica/shoegaze band rehearsing songs already composed by Anestis. After a series of unsuccessful attempts to find the proper musicians to collaborate with, they decided to start as a duet something new, more flexible and more minimalistic, that would combine their soundings. During the last year the duo of Gioumourtzina became known by word of mouth initially at their base, Thessaloniki, and then on the internet and in the rest of Greece, thanks to the song “Russian Market”, their impressive gigs and their strange name (which is a paraphrase of the name of Greek city Komotini in Turkish).

ADRIAN GALYSH NEW SINGLE
“’Barstool Monarchy’ started with the opening riff, which is revisited throughout the song,” said Galysh. “It’s very much inspired by Jimi Hendrix and Deep Purple.

Into The Blue is packed with nine blues-rock tracks with guitar and vocals that take Galysh into an entirely new musical direction.

“SPACE SHEEP”
King of the new school Oliver Heldens teams up with Dutch house legends Chocolate Puma for new track “Space Sheep” – recently premiered on the 98th episode of Heldens’ acclaimed Heldeep Radio show. Oliver Heldens’ dynamic and youthful approach and Chocolate Puma’s years of expertise and house music heritage is the perfect meeting of minds.
“Space Sheep” combines a melodic beat with vintage arcade game sounds. An old school breakbeat chatters away under vocoder FX in the intro before we drop into a warped concoction of melodic electro bassline, spacey resampled synths, skipping percussion and swathes of metallic texture. Imagine new school breaks meets electro house. The production quality and aesthetic is just as we’ve come to expect from this trio, crisp and large at the same time.
