Our trip was a deep-dive into the city rising electronic music subculture. It had me reflecting on micro-economics, being passionate about ones undertakings and my own musical journey.

Here are some picture to kick this blog- post off:

I am, as you might have come to known at this point, fascinated by history, one might say, almost of any kind. While travelling to Greece, I am reading a German classic: “Die Sagen des klassischen Altertums” by Gustav Schwab. It is, as the title suggests, a collection of Ancient Greek tales, put together in great style by the German theologist. Being born in 1792, Schwab was a contemporary of Goethe.

Speaking of Goethe, whose legacy reaches well beyond his own creation our second Gig was at Goethe Institut Athens as part of the Athens Music Week, a festival for connecting organisers, scouts and artists from all over Europe.

Anyhow.

Our first gig though was a party organised by the reflected collective. Special thanks goes to Phanos and Athia, who at the foremost fronts organised the event so well. Here are some cool shots from that gig:

The next day we explored some ancient sites like the Parthenon and the Agora.

Here is a fun thing I was thinking while exploring these: While here (in Greece) there developed a high culture to which we owe our highest philosophical and artistic heir, germans were basically sleeping in swamps and hunting boars (though I am sure the greeks hunted boars, too).

I was also very thankful to be accompanied by Daniel and Mattia from 505. The vibes were always good with them. Since they are both Italian and because of my telling given name, everyone suddenly started to speak Italian with me. So you can imagine we had a lot to laugh.

That’s it this time around!

See you soon, with big news then.

Best,

Fabio
