Bridge:
K.atou Aesthetics: Athens-Detroit :: Detroit-Athens 

This Wednesday was our closing show for summer. Katerina Mortzou, one of the central female figures in the Underground Electronic Scene in Greece, presented her sound aesthetics through an Exclusive set and revealed in public her deep ultimate connection with Detroit. We commonly decided to make this show, in an immediate response to the filed for federal bankruptcy protection of Detroit, the onetime music powerhouse of House Music itself. This city, along with Chicago, was the place where everything started for the House Scene world while.
Bust your eardrums,
Magda T. for Ordem's R. Show

K.atou BIO:
Started collecting electronic music oriented records at the age of 17, djing at the age of 18. Then back to Corfu she continued with frequent parties and a radio show every weekend as well as a series of parties. The sessions lasted a year, till she moved to UK due to a university scholarship. In UK it seems she found one of the most inspiring friends. In the meantime she performed in different venues in Athens as well as famous Synch festival of contemporary electronic arts on the Red Bull Home Groove stage. In 2006 the NY label Goosehound assigned her as "foreign diplomat". After a trip in US and CAN for music meditating, as she likes to claim, started working on production. First found its roof at the respected Berlin based Einmaleins musik label.K.atou changed her base during 2006 from Athens to London and in summer 2007 moved to Berlin. Her online mixtapes, as well as her yearly appearance at the Detroit Electronic Music Festival’s after-hours parties have become staples of the underground house and techno scene, and has played at almost every major city in the US and Europe, as well as festivals such as Glastonbury and Rizzla event.
This Athens-born young lady is responsible for bringing fresh four-to-the-floor beats to her city's clubs, but quickly outgrew her territory and transplanted to Berlin and the UK where her career skyrocketed to international recognition. Today she’s a globe-trotting DJ femme-fatale with a vault of Chicago and Detroit house gems that have become the core of her creative house-based sets. She shows off just how tasteful and passionate she is about good house music.

Bridge: Koan Dialogues
A kōan (公案? )pron.: /ˈkoʊ.ɑːn/ is a story, dialogue, question, or statement, which is used in Zen-practice to provoke the "great doubt", and test a student's progress in Zen practice.
Example of a Zazen Koan:

Toyo (Student) wished to do sanzen also.
"Wait a while," said Mokurai (Teacher). "You are too young."
But the child insisted, so the teacher finally consented.
In the evening little Toyo went at the proper time to the threshold of Mokurai's sanzen room. He struck the gong to announce his presence, bowed respectfully three times outside the door, and went to sit before the master in respectful silence.

"You can hear the sound of two hands when they clap together," said Mokurai. "Now show me the sound of one clapping hand."

Ordem Radio Show 22nd May on Westradio.gr_ Koan Dialogues*

Researcher # Columnist # Radio Producer # Mixing Performer

Magda K. Terzidou a.k.a. Ordem had her studies primarily on History of Art. Complementary studies were made also on Psychology, Philosophy and Theatre. 

Electronic Music conquered her life in the early 90’s, where ambient contemplation and crazy parties were a state of being, a way to resist and revolt. The triggering point for getting involved more seriously with music was not the dance music by itself, but the body and mind expression that evoked. The great role of the “appropriate” dance Music and it’s impact was certified in 2002, when she became an executive assistant in the Conseil International de la Danse of UNESCO, where she met and interviewed many of the top dance world performers. Her personal experience as a choreographer came some years later by being responsible for the Dance & Choreography teenager Team in an NGO for almost 3 years. 

This deep connection continued in Klimax Plus Radio and Westradio.gr in which she was hosting the Ordem e Progresso Radio Show for 4 and half years trying to present and promote House Music through thematic unities and interviews of local and European artists. The main concern of the show was the qualitative House stage in Greece and worldwide, its roots in the warehouses of Chicago, Detroit, Manchester and Berlin, the spirit of revolving to western industrialization and social discrimination by spreading the spirit of unity and equality through dance parties. The structure of the Shows were built accordingly in thematic unities that tried to convey the impact of inner states of a human being, such as: “Broken Promises”, “Acrobats”, “Leaving Weight Behind”, “Persephone is Back”, “La "Malédiction" de Jacque de Molay”, “Unique does not fit”, etc. The presentation on new promising artists and well-established ones as well as conceptual festivals and alternative ways of interaction between arts was the high priority in this shows. 

Far away from the mainstream and fake glamour of these days, Ordem strives to support the true Deep qualitative spirit, through arthrography and interviews of artistic teams and electronic composers at UrbanStyle Magazine. She is a true booster of creative Greek teams and a deep visionary personality that believes and gives an honest fight for the revival of the Greek Electronic Scene, by her all means.
