N'écoute Pas!

Back in 2012, I befriended some cats from Cyprus. We would smoke weed together and listen to electronic music. I started to learn to DJ. When they returned home to Cyprus, I would visit them, and go to a lot of parties there, which lead to me writing my MA thesis about underground electronic music in Cyprus. As soon as I graduated, I moved to Cyprus and immediately started a project called Crossdressing Diogenes, a fanzine for the scene, which later became a label as well. I found myself catching opportunities; I would take my USB stick to every rave, and if I stayed for long enough, eventually they would run out of DJs, and I would play. By Summer 2023, I was booked every weekend; club nights, raves, after parties, street parties, queer parties, rooftops, outdoor festivals, even the official after party for Pride (twice). As I got older I book more into the books. I closed my music projects and founded a publishing house, Becoming Press. I did keep my radio show going, but that was also becoming more theoretical. After publishing some magazines & the first book, I moved to Berlin to focus. This year, 2025, by some great luck, the radio show found itself a new home on Fade Radio.
