~DANCE FLORES Vol 1 Sueño Picotero Presenta ~STIVAKO 🇬🇷🇦🇲 @stivako DJ greco-armeno e selezionatore di vinili cresciuto in Etiopia. I suoi set fondono i suoni tradizionali e quelli più contemporanei del Picó — ritmi africani, afro-latini, brasiliani e caraibici degli anni ’60, ’70 e ’80 — ricreando l’energia grezza e l’esperienza delle leggendarie feste di strada del Picó. Dal 2018 ho trascorso molto tempo in Sudamerica, soprattutto sulla costa caraibica della Colombia, dove finora ho assistito a sei carnevali a Barranquilla. Avendo vissuto in prima persona le feste e le verbenas, sono davvero entusiasta di trovarmi attualmente ad Atene per portare questa atmosfera nei miei set. Ho suonato come DJ in vari locali in Colombia (@casamarillacultural, @eldesacatocarnavalero, @subterranea.club, @riohostels al Bonanza Festival a Buritaca), ho suonato anche in Brasile (Santos @salaespecialdiscos, San Paolo @patuadiscos, @balsa, @secilianshop, @casinha.cc), in Messico (CDMX @cafe.denadie), in Grecia (Atene @birdmanathens, @pharaohathens, @okupa.athens, @SNFCC ecc.), Regno Unito (Londra @movimientoslondon, ecc.), Italia (Maloka Festival in Calabria e Sicilia nel 2024 e 2025) e Thailandia. Venerdì 2 Ottobre dalle 22:00 untill LATE 🔥 Dove: @collezionecasamonti @sicurcaivofficial DANCE FLORES bloom your self by @stivako

Sabato 3 ottobre dalle 21 approda in veranda La Saramuya 🎰 Un Picó Sound System che richiama il carnevale di Barranquilla, dove è stato costruito, ora di base ad Atene e itinerante per tutta Europa 🌍 Ad animare il Picó: 📀 Stivako, DJ e selezionatore di vinili di origini greco-armene, cresciuto in Etiopia. I suoi set fondono sonorità Picó tradizionali e contemporanee — ritmi africani, afro-latini, brasiliani e caraibici degli anni '60, '70 e '80 — ricreando l'energia e l'atmosfera delle leggendarie feste di strada Picó. 📀 Defe, attivo dal 2009 tra Bologna e dintorni, ha portato la sua selezione in spazi e festival come TPO, Freakout Club e Mish Mash. Giornalista musicale e co-fondatore del progetto ATLANTICO, i suoi dj set sono una miscela di diversi generi musicali: jazz, african rhythms, soul&funk, musiche latin e caraibiche, hip-hop, elettronica e weird things! 📀 Arktah, batterista, DJ e produttore di musica elettronica, crea un universo unico in cui percussioni organiche, sperimentazione sonora e cultura club contemporanea convergono. Sia da solista che con il suo gruppo Fusaifusa, esplora le connessioni tra il patrimonio musicale tradizionale e la musica elettronica. by @stivako

Attention, les images que vous allez voir dans ce réel sont très sombres… 🌚 Et oui ! C’est la nuit du 14 juillet, tout juste éclairé par la saramuya, qu’on emportera (contrairement à la coupe) comme un précieux souvenir, niché quelque part entre les croques Monsieur de mamie Marlène et le chant des cigales mélangé à l’odeur de la garrigue 🫰 La fête, c’est un monde qui réunit la technique, le lieu, le public, le staff et la musique dans une œuvre éphémère qui n’appartient qu’à l’instant-T, et dont les innombrables variables font osciller la finalité sur une part raisonnablement aléatoire 🎢 Ce mardi 14 juillet, il y avait tout. L’incroyable Pico soundsystem de @stivako (notre plus belle rencontre de 2026) @lasaramuya, le récit musical magnifiquement déroulé entre Afro, Amapiano, Deep, Zouk et tropical de @poiriersound, une crowd débridée qui n’hésitait pas à se mélanger, qui dansait les yeux fermés avec les cheveux mouillés, puis il y avait l’After Beach, ce lieu d’accueil pour tous, sa mixité, ses lumières, son plein air, et sa fermeture exceptionnelle à 4h du matin ⚡️ Quel combo ! On a passé un moment hors du temps, qui se lisait dans les regards apaisés d’un public qui se sentait à sa place, que ce soit derrière les platines, sur la piste de danse ou en train de servir au bar. Merci à tous pour ce moment de partage, c’était fort <3 Le Cartel Del Chipo, ça continue chaque vendredi jusqu’à fin septembre, et ce soir avec @karlhungusulikunkel , ami proche, membre de la communauté Pura Vida de Guts, et DJ qui a déjà retourné l’After Beach à plusieurs reprises. 🙌 by @stivako
