SATURDAY 23 MAY 2026A night to remember
Το ξέρετε εδώ και πάνω από 30 χρόνια πως, όταν οι Etnica προσγειώνονται στην Αθήνα, αυτό είναι το μουσικό γεγονός της πόλης! Ο Maurizio Begotti το «Τοτεμ» της underground φυλής των αστικών ξωτικών, θα μετρήσει τα bpm της ζωής του μέσα σε μια κοσμογονία ήχων και ψηφιακών ενορχηστρωμένων μελωδιών. Μαζί του οι The Rolling Stoned γιορτάζουν την super συνεργασία μαζί του ( The Rolling Stoned – Odd Day Road ETNICA RMX / σε κυκλοφορία από τη Spiral Trax) και ξεδιπλώνουν τον ήχο τους, που αγγίζει τις παρυφές του Psy Techno Pagan (έτσι το αποκαλούν) και φτάνει μέχρι τα σύννεφα του Psychedelic Trance. To party ανοίγει το τρίτο μέλος τους, ο Zilaray, με μουσικά όνειρα σε ambient & dub πλανήτες.

Etnica, the story
Legendary Etnica - Pleiadians is a project (Milan, Italy) originally formed by Carlo Paterno, Max Lanfranconi, Maurizio Begotti, and Andrea Rizzo.
Max Lanfranconi was member of the 'Tribe' group and by 1988 he began organizing 'Dance all Night' parties in Italy. Encouraged by the success Max decided to start producing and around in 1992 he met Andrea Rizzo and they started to make music together. Meanwhile, around the same time Maurizio Begotti and Carlo Paterno had started making music elsewhere.
In 1993 they all met in a record shop and decided to produce music together and Etnica was born. Andrea had a solid classical music background that combined with the melodies of Carlo and Maurizio's sense of arrangement would soon lead to the production of some of the most classic goa trance tracks. The band, beside producing music as Etnica, had the idea of creating a party-oriented side project and after some thoughts the name Pleiadians was forged.
They had another side project, Crop Circles, that was a collaboration with another Italian band, Lotus Omega.
In 1998 the band moved its studios to Ibiza where the project would be carried on by Max and Maurizio only. Since 1999 the band has changed their sound to be up to the modern standards of production, following the worldwide trends and trying to achieve a more mature sound, after successfully proving that they could realize some of the best goa trance tracks ever.
Maurizio and Max (Etnica Pleiadians) are still very active in the scene and weekly performing all around the world.
The Rolling Stoned, the story
In this project, we have to do with the homogenization of the two indissoluble and different music personalities of Kostas Pieces and Argy Echosense. The composition and structure of the “Rolling Stoned” Project begun from a back-to-back DJ Set at a festival, which instead of creating competitive vibes between them, it gave them the perspective of the perfect match and collaboration. The student years of Kostas away from Greece and his living in Hungary, gave him the chance to experience the whole 90s alternation in music, from a very small distance.
At the same time, Argyris (Argy) was counting the bpms of Athens, in front and behind the dexx, with his livelihood being journalism, in newspapers, magazines and TV. Their random meeting at a radio station’s booth was the beginning of a collab which was about to determine their mutual, music future. They both are a part of the dance floor. They mix according to the environment and the things happening in front of them. They actually direct days and nights (with samples, sounds, tracks and any form of music source), according to audience’s mentality, time, moment and the music style- character of the party they are. Since 2014 they “have plowed” clubs and festivals, next to top of their kind, such as: Micky (Wizzy Noise), Asimilon (Bom Shanka), Predators, Electric Universe, Wingman, Prana (Matsuri), The Delta, Tsuyoshi, Ordo Ab Chao (Sonic Loom), Hux Flux, Miranda, Etnica – Pleiadians, Logic Bomb, Joti Sidhu – Psychaos, Transwave – Deedrah, Alien Project, Gene Joke, Synthologic, Total Eclipse, Plasmatix, Diksha – Synkronic , Eat Static etc. In 2024, Andrei Nastasa (Zilaray) was integrated in the project, giving a special touch, with the consignment of the knowledge he gained next to the top musician Vangelis (Vangelis Papathanasiou), being his last “student” before the creator passed away. In 2025, the three members of the Rolling Stoned are officially on the “chariots of fire”, under the roof of the “Spiral Trax”.
