Transparent Man is a solo music project from Thessaloniki, Gr.

It is a deeply personal project based on electronic downtempo music, characterised by the combination of atmospheric and electronic soundscapes, guitar melodies and inventive rhythms. The artist is in continuous search of those sounds that will help him to create a musical grid, capable of embracing every kind of feeling. Memories and experiences of pain, loneliness, joy and companionship produce a bunch of musical contrasts that are depicted in his work.

His first EP called “Shame” released on April 2020 via “Logarithm Cassette Label”, in a special eco-friendly cassette format.

In the beginning of 2021, he was announced as one of the 3 greek artists that will be nominated for the European awards HEMI MUSIC AWARDS 2021! He was selected among 285 European artists, of whom only 27 were selected by the jury.

Ikaru (TR)

Ikaru is a musical duo and an occasional audiovisual trio that was born out of a pure desire of identification with the expanded consciousness of the expressive qualities.

Originated in Ankara, Turkey; Ikaru gets its main inspiration from the timeless and placeless resorts of human culture, intertwined both with beats and notes of antiquity as well as the mind-bending bleeps of synth-scapes. Insisting upon a genre-free overall style, the sound of Ikaru resonates within a range of eclectic electronic beats, indigenous acoustic instruments, and psychedelic sloth-techno, sometimes revisiting an ambient, downtempo style.

In its essence, Ikaru seeks music that is “capable of expressing the inexpressible after silence” in Huxley’s words. The duo released their debut album ‘Monolith’ on 9.4.21 via Gulbaba Records.
