Τhe grotesque reality unfolds
Indulging into utopia with awkwardness.
Always in doubt, uncertainty rules. 
When I speak no one believes me,
When I write it down, people know its true.

Grotesque Utopia w/ K.Pegro (19.07.23)

“We need jungle I’m afraid”
During an episode of University challenge, a BBC quiz show, Amol Rajan asked for the name of the dance music genre that had developed from the 1990s rave scene and reggae sound system culture.
“Drum’n’bass” was the answer from the University of Aberdeen.
“I can’t accept drum’n’bass - we need jungle, I’m afraid”

Grotesque Utopia - We need jungle I'm afraid 020 w/ K.Pegro (13.02.24)

Footwork or juke are genres that derive from ghetto house and appeared in Chicago the late 90’s. Rapid rhythms and sub-bass frequencies create a frenzy dance style including very fast and chaotic feet moves.

Photo: (location: Voutiro Kapelo, date: maybe 10 years ago), Voutiro Kapelo used to be on the 6th floor of an artisanal building, hosting some of the best parties in town. Music and dance lessons were also taking place.
