Tourist ATH is influenced by elements of nature and his travels around the world and he loves to combine the electronic music with all the above.

He has shared the decks with the most renowned artists of the electronic music scene like AME, Black Coffee, Stephan Bodzin, Fideles, BLOND:ISH, Echonomist, Agents Of Time, DJ Tennis, Brina Knauss and more.

Tell us a bit more about you. Where are you from originally? What are your hobbies and your interests?

I was born and raised in a village of about 150 inhabitants in the northwest of Greece. I always loved music, so after I turned 18, I decided to follow my dreams and be involved with it in every way possible. My goal was to be able to turn my hobby into a profession so that I could not only enjoy myself but also make others happy too.

As of my hobbies, I love waking up early in the morning, go to the gym and then following hours in the studio.

 When was the first time you remember yourself being influenced by music?

That was definitely back in the nineties, when my father bought me my first cds. I remember listening to them at home at his high quality sound system, as he was a music lover too. That was something which has had a clear influence on me.

 What inspires you most when it comes to music?

I would say Travelling, which is something I am very fond of.

 This is something I have been working on very hard lately. So yes, we will release new tracks this summer!

As we already know you are based in Athens. Where can we see you playing at during the season?

I have a residency at Zelus Athens, where I play 2 Saturdays per month and it really feels like home to me. 

And what’s next?

I have achieved a lot so far but I never stop dreaming, as I believe that progress and self-development end when our dreams die.

Our favourite boy band is back with new single PUSH and we love everything about it!!

On Monday (June 24), in honor of Kyiv Pride in the Ukraine over the weekend, Kazaky premiered a new song and music video , directed by Alan Badoev.

Their new single PUSH marks their official return with two new members. 'PUSH’ has been the band’s first tribute to the LGBTQ+ community, which “has supported and continues to support Kazaky for nine years, and represent a world of acceptance and self-expression, thanks to which the band has managed to become heard and seen.”

It’s also dedicated to “all those who need freedom and courage to be themselves and have their voice” as Arur Gaspar ( KAZAKY’s lead singer) mentioned.

Michael Jackson will be the theme for the next Louis Vuitton show

Virgil Abloh has just unveiled the theme for his Louis Vuitton Fall/Winter 2018-19 show, which will be presented in Paris in January 2019: Michael Jackson.

The American designer has already demonstrated his admiration for pop culture icons through his own-label as seen at the Off-White Spring/Summer 2018 show which presented colorful pieces inspired by the late Diana, Princess of Wales. The graphic themes, a nod to American graffiti artist, Dondi White, seen in Abloh’s Off-White collection the following year also spring to mind. 

January 2019 will see the theme continued as Abloh is to present his second menswear collection for Louis Vuitton in Paris which will pay homage to the King of pop, Michael Jackson. In an interview with Interview magazine, Abloh revealed that “when I have Michael singing in the background, it’s a different type of shirt, it’s a different kind of boot, it’s a different fit of pants. Music is key.”  The American designer also revealed other news in announcing that he’d like to design a spaceship someday. Mr. Abloh, you never fail to surprise us…

WE LOVE: Britney Spears in the new Kenzo campaign

The princess of pop did it again and this time she goes high fashion!

Britney Spears is the face of Kenzo’s second nostalgia-based La Collection Momento for Spring 2018. The new collection is actually a tribute to the debut of Kenzo Jeans in 1986.

Cropped denim jackets and tops, thigh-high lace-up boots, and a sweatshirt and baseball hat stamped with a #throwback version of the original Kenzo logo have been styled perfectly on Britney who is having so much fun in her first luxury fashion campaign ever!

 The campaign was shot on location in Los Angeles by Peter Lindbergh and the name of it:  #KenzoLovesBritney

The collection is now available on  KENZO.com.

A Year Without George Michael

December 25, 2017 marks a year since the passing of George Michael. A music and fashion icon, an international pop star, a legend.  

During the year there have been many public tributes to the Greek Cypriot pop star around the world, from awards shows to symphonies and fundraisers. It feels like the end of an era but I don't want to forget. I don't want to stop writing about him, listening to his music and posting his pictures on social media.

With his Christmas single LAST CHRISTMAS charting at no. 3 in the U.K today, the pop music pays tribute to his legacy and marks his name on the top of the list for another one year.

Rest in peace George Michael... You will always be 'alive' for us, for the LGBT community and the world, for the music. Xx
