This talk explores the roots of electronic music and how different movements were shaped by social and political environments. Stavros will introduce the early waves of electronic music, focusing on how sound emerged from the needs of specific communities, as a tool for identity, expression and, in many cases, resistance.<\/p>
Joining him Johannes Schmitz will share insights into how the city\u2019s clubbing and festival culture has evolved over time, and how it continues to shape Berlin\u2019s cultural identity today.<\/p>
The discussion moves beyond a historical overview, opening a broader conversation around the relationship between electronic music, public space, community building and contemporary cultural expression.<\/p>

My journey with music began in 2013 as a deeply personal need for expression, evolving into an artistic practice that connects sound with collective experience.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Starting as a self-taught producer, I began creating soundscapes that capture internal states, leading to my first DJ set in 2016. Since then, I have been active in the Athens scene, with key milestones being the events at Kerameikou 28 with the Communitism collective, where the rave was approached as a space of freedom and expression.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
My connection to Berlin and my presence through Reign Of Time have further strengthened my international path. In 2024, the performance \u201cOxygen\u201d<\/em> by Giorgos Koutlis at the Onassis Stegi served as a major point of reference, highlighting the intersection of club culture and stage performance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Through MAMA, I focus on creating spaces where music functions as a tool for authentic expression and shared collective experience.<\/p>\n","post_title":"Stavros\u00a0Tsiapos (GR)","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"stavros-tsiapos-gr","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2026-04-26 09:52:15","post_modified_gmt":"2026-04-26 06:52:15","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/www.athensmusicweek.gr\/?post_type=speaker&p=28672","menu_order":0,"post_type":"speaker","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":31954,"post_author":"2133","post_date":"2026-04-26 09:59:10","post_date_gmt":"2026-04-26 06:59:10","post_content":"\n Johannes Schmitz is a well-known figure in Berlin\u2019s club scene.
