THE 7TH GATESaturday 7 March
IT Athens
On March 7th, IT Athens opens a portal into a long-sealed chapter of Greek psychedelic history.
For this special night, Lory (aka Archaic) and John Pegos take over the space all night long, guiding a continuous journey through 90s Goa trance, forest psychedelia and ritualistic underground frequencies.
LORY (aka ARCHAIC)
The Goa trance project of Kostas Kanlis, Lory emerged from the late-80s punk underground of Thessaloniki before diving into breakbeat, hardcore and early rave culture. A transformative trip to London in 1993 connected him with the first wave of Goa and psychedelic trance gatherings, reshaping his artistic direction permanently.
By the mid-90s he was producing analog Goa trance using classic hardware machines, crafting exploratory psychedelic compositions that circulated only on private DAT tapes among a small circle of DJs and mountain party initiates.
Now, with the archival release of The Archaic Tree via DAT Universe (February 2026), these long-lost recordings resurface — raw, warm, fearless — capturing the spirit of a scene still being invented in real time.
On March 7th, Lory returns to the dancefloor not as nostalgia, but as transmission.
JOHN PEGOS
John Pegos represents a different but deeply connected chapter of the Greek psychedelic continuum. Known for his presence at mountain gatherings, coastal rituals in Alepochori, and intimate underground sessions, John has cultivated a sound rooted in atmosphere, progression and dancefloor storytelling.
His sets move organically — from deep, hypnotic foundations into forest-charged psychedelic layers — always maintaining a sense of flow rather than spectacle. There is no rush in his journey; only immersion.
With years of experience playing open-air rituals and underground nights, John understands the architecture of a long set: tension, release, silence, eruption. His contribution to this night is not support — it is co-creation.
All night long.
No headliners.
No shortcuts.
One gate.
