“Dip” in Greek: Completely, exclusively, totally, wholly...
“Dip” In English: One of the uses could be to immerse for one’s baptism...
“Dip”: In dance... is a move in many different styles of partner dances, often performed at the end of a dance, in which the follower leans far to the side and is supported by the leader!

If we must describe this album in just a few words, we would clearly say that it is a..."dip“ Miltos Marathon album!

The winter of 2012 found Miltiadis Chalkidis at the studio of LRR, producing the new album of Miltos Marathon “Greek fill”.

“Music, and especially Greek music, is really amazing in its entire spectrum” said Miltiadis.
“Divine providence brought Byzantine music, rebetiko, music from Pontos, older and earlier folk songs and later classical music, rock, blues and jazz into my life. My love for these styles of music inspired me to just give a “Greek fill”.

Miltiadis distinct guitar technique and unique voice along with his distinct  Greek accent ... can be clearly heard in the 9 album tracks, supported by Chris Anifantis on the bass , Kostantinos Mitin on the drums,Christos Sagient on the percussion and George Bazanis on the piano and synthesizer. Backing vocals were performed by Sophie Hristodoulopoulou and Otilia Samoulada-Barbulesku.
Additional keys performed by Danai and Dimitris Tsikrikas.­­­­

The very first conception for the song's composition, for the album, started being worked by Miltiadis sometime between 2007 and 2008, although the final recording took place much later, due to the sad event of his father’s death, whose memory is honoured in this particular album… In the meanwhile, the politic and economic situation in Greece was an additional challenge that needed to be overcome, but didn’t manage to influence the Miltos Marathon sincere love for music, so they completed and released “Greek fill” in 2015.

By listening to the album, it can be said that "Greek Fill" is something more than just the new official Miltos Marathon work… It’s a unique record that combines the Greek musical element with the electricity of the contemporary sound, within the spectrum of the Miltos Marathon musical temperament, creating an innovative music style… Indeed, this album constitutes a different “Greek fill”!

Miltos Marathon Progressive Greek rock music for intelligent passionate unique listeners...just like You!

Miltos, short for the greek name Miltiadis…

Marathon, a long-distance running event…

A more romantic perspective, beyond the literal meaning of these words, will give us a deeper understanding of the Miltos Marathon philosophy.

"If life is like a long-distance running race... i'm very pleased that in my case, it is a music marathon!"

The Greek music scene has spawned many talented musicians and performers throughout the years and divine providence has helped many groups to flourish. Miltos Marathon can certainly be counted as one of them.

From the very first day they were formed, they have recorded a series of independently produced albums with music and lyrics written by Miltiades Chalkidis. They have given countless live performances and their unique musical identity has earned them a special place in their fans’ hearts.

Miltiadis Chalkidis was born on the 9th of January, 1979, in Larisa, Greece. He started showing great interest in music at a very early age and his parents, Konstantinos and Sophie Chalkidis, provided him with his first musical stimuli. When Miltos turned 11 his father gave him guitar lessons, which greatly influenced his guitar playing style and helped him, as he quotes, to create his own unique sound. Not long after that, he started writing his first songs, whilst searching for session musicians to form a group that would perform the fruits of his labour…Thus, in 1994, he created the Miltos Marathon.

It can unquestionably be said today that the Miltos Marathon love and excitement for music remains the same as it was 20 years ago. The ideal way to approach Miltos Marathon unique sound is quite simple. Whether listening to an album’s tracks or enjoying a live performance, all that’s required of us is to let ourselves drift into a musical journey, guided by the unique sound of Miltos Marathon.
