Growing the pita: How independent labels in Greece and Cyprus are pushing through and pushing forward

Independent labels have carved out a foothold in a digital world, rising from the ashes of the financial crises and the collapse of the traditional physical music industry. In this round table, their leaders break down what still stands in their way: market gaps, digital shifts, and structural chaos. They also spotlight the wins they’ve fought for and the motivations driving them forward, embracing collaboration and how that can amplify their momentum, making the entire Greek scene bigger at home and abroad.
