Up Minded, part VI

Up Minded party VI. With the word “Up-Minded” meaning positive and progressive, we Unite with the sound of electronic music in a positive and festive mood on May 20th at Simeion, with the support of B – side and Cannibal Radio. Let’s gather at a premium venue, where we will drink, dance and mingle from 3pm till the early morning hours, immersing ourselves in music played by local DJs. To take you back to the history of electronic music, it all began in underground spaces for diverse crowds that the societies were treating as outcasts. Those parties were seen as the space to bring together different people who did not care about origins, genders, sexuality, style, etc. Music united them and they enjoyed their nights in a free-spirited, non-judgmental, limitless space. Ever since, electronic music has been connected with futuristic movements, and has been known for pushing both musical and societal boundaries. In Greece, the electronic music scene has been gaining a lot of momentum lately, attracting increasingly bigger crowds of all kinds. Young or old, black or white, gay or straight, the electronic music scene welcomes everyone, while there is zero tolerance towards any kind of sexism, racism, and any other negative-ism. We want to unite the electronic music crowd in Athens with the LGBTQI+ community and beyond, and aim to encourage the values of equality that this genre of music represents.
