fast-moving times, in which popularity and quality are often equated or commonly confused with one another, aids and abets this imitation game some call conformity, others professionalism. in the end, both paths will end up in predictability. heres where stathis kalatzis, aka mr. statik, comes to play. the resident at athens’ multi-purpose cultural space six d.o.g.s has not only been one of the scenes pivotal figures, but since he started to release his first solo releases in the mid-00s, the now berlin-based greek dj has earned a reputation for being a trend-ignoring, unconventional producer. whether his output for bpitch control, rotary cocktail, or even last years debut ep rogue cherub for away mr. statik enjoys thinking outside the box by crossing his diverse pop-cultural interests and pulling in expertise and perspective from beyond the usual functional formulas. after a decade of not staying in one comfort zone or sticking to one musical direction, he finds himself more comfortable in his producer shoes presenting his debut album metamorphose. housing a few film references in this for mr. statik typical nebulous fashion, the ten tracks not only carrying the narrative potential of an imaginary score, but primarily exploring a versatile array of influences, themes, and contradictions (which mr. statik as an illustrator also united on the albums artwork). ranging from the sci-fi infused album opener insomnia, the first non-dancefloor piece he ever produced around 7 years ago, over?

if you love contemporary minimal music, then you are certainly familiar with the greek artist stathis leontiadis. with his bands human puppets, exetix and plexiglas this musician became one of the stars of the genre. now he is back with doric. with this solo project he already released a single and an album on fabrika and a 10- on domestica. the new release is once again a 10-, this time on peripheral minimal. doric uses a special concept. the a-side is the so-called asleep side and is about loneliness: music that sounds paranoid. sleep of reason is almost unbearable, it s madness driven by minimal electronics. everything is very danceable, but this is the dance of madness. the minimal sound comes straight from the 80s. over my dreamssounds a bit like the early parade ground. simply great! head against the wall (a title that needs little explanation) is slow and compelling.

after the success of the first 2 releases moral fiber is back! this time with: faster, andreas bergmann, archie hamilton & stathis lazarides, silat beksi & not him. experience the sound of these talented artists on this various artists ep!

memo begrüsst stathis kalatzis aka mr. statik, formerly known as mud max. dank zahlreicher ep-releases, einem red bull music academy award und gastspielen in namhaften locations wie tresor, robert johnson oder club 103 ist mr. statik hierzulande kein gänzlich unbekannter

stathis kalatzis aka mr. statik, also known for his collaboration as mud max, is giving full scope to his greek temperament on the >temperamento ep<. on four tracks he bounces and bleeps with great efforts and a broad horizon, constantly changing and constantly different. support comes from geoffroy mugwump, italoboyz, lee smith, jimpster.

second octopus is mr statik with an excellent 3 channels remix, stathis is a greek gentleman of some refinement, his tracks caught our ear on mathias schaffhausers ware imprint as part of the mudmax duo and his talent for combining careful modern production and late night hysteria drew us to him as a future roster artist. then we come to 3 channels,what can we say,they have blown up on crosstown rebels and trapez and their own imprint channel records, their dj sets kick ass all over the place and their remixes, from claude vonstroke to decryptor have proved them as the bright stars of the european house movement. this mix is inspired,relentless, unusually energetic and yet typically 3 channels, aimed straight into the heat and haze of the night
