🌟 What a weekend! From the vibrating dancefloor in Thessaloniki to the packed house in Larissa, it was absolutely amazing!

A huge hug and gratitude to Nico and Edna for being here and bringing their ultimate vibe to our small community. Nickodemus Edna Martinez love you guys!🙌

This beautiful journey wouldn't have been possible without the amazing people and venues who supported us along the way: Kotetsi and MoNK Cafe Bar for hosting and supporting us once again, Grafix and daltonismstudio for the outstanding work, Nassos, George and all our friends who supported us in various ways.

And, all of you, our beautiful crowd! Your energy, smiles, and non-stop dancing reminded us why we do what we do.❤️

🌴 𝗔𝗙𝗥𝗢𝗧𝗥Ó𝗣𝗜𝗖𝗢 𝙑𝙊𝙇.2 𝙬/ 𝙀𝘿𝙉𝘼 𝙈𝘼𝙍𝙏𝙄𝙉𝙀𝙕 (𝘾𝙊𝙇) & 𝙏𝘼𝙉𝙄𝘼 (𝙂𝙍)

Following the massive first 𝗔𝗙𝗥𝗢𝗧𝗥𝗢𝗣𝗜𝗖𝗢 party a few months ago, we are back with Vol. 2 louder and more explosive at MoNK Cafe Bar in 𝗟𝗮𝗿𝗶𝘀𝘀𝗮! This time, the booth is catching fire with a line-up bridging Colombia and Greece! 🔥

🇨🇴 𝙀𝘿𝙉𝘼 𝙈𝘼𝙍𝙏𝙄𝙉𝙀𝙕 is one of the most prominent figures in the contemporary global club scene and the revival of Picó Sound System culture. Originally from Cartagena and based in Berlin, Edna Martinez seamlessly bridges local history with cutting-edge global electronic music. As a DJ, producer, radio resident (𝘕𝘛𝘚, 𝘙𝘢𝘥𝘪𝘰 𝘈𝘭𝘩𝘢𝘳𝘢, 𝘞𝘰𝘳𝘭𝘥𝘸𝘪𝘥𝘦 𝘍𝘔), she redrafts the boundaries of club music by honoring its deep, organic roots. In June 2025, she released her debut compilation 𝘗𝘪𝘤ó! 𝘚𝘰𝘶𝘯𝘥 𝘚𝘺𝘴𝘵𝘦𝘮 𝘊𝘶𝘭𝘵𝘶𝘳𝘦 𝘍𝘳𝘰𝘮 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘊𝘰𝘭𝘰𝘮𝘣𝘪𝘢𝘯 𝘊𝘢𝘳𝘪𝘣𝘣𝘦𝘢𝘯 on Strut Records. Having toured the world from Latin America and the Middle East to headlining major European festival stages, she is ready to bring her unique blend of raw, tropical heritage and heavy diasporic beats straight to our booth! 🔊

🇬🇷 𝙏𝘼𝙉𝙄𝘼 is a cultural manager, DJ and founder of 𝘗𝘰𝘭𝘺𝘢𝘧𝘳𝘪𝘤𝘢 project. Born in Larissa and based in Thessaloniki, she brings a long history of DJing and deep musical research, drawing on diverse influences. Her DJ sets capture a wide‑ranging musical identity blending psychedelic textures, deep bass, bold percussion, and synth‑driven grooves with the rhythms of Africa, the African diaspora, and beyond. Beyond DJing, Polyafrica has evolved into a cutting-edge event series that hosts label owners, DJs, producers and musicians from around the world, creating a vibrant community where poly-cultural aficionados share their passion for rare global sounds. Notable guests include Burnt Friedman, Hailu Mergia, Samy Ben Redjeb (Analog Africa), Mark Ernestus (Hard Wax), Ak’chamel and many others.

⭐ ℕ𝕀ℂ𝕂𝕆𝔻𝔼𝕄𝕌𝕊 (ℕ𝕐ℂ) 🇱🇷
Although not many words are needed for this legendary DJ, Nickodemus is a traveler at heart and a true connector of worlds. He has been an essential reference of the NYC underground and a pillar of the global fusion and Afro-tropical groove movement since the mid-90s. As the founder of the legendary Wonderwheel Recordings and the iconic TOTH parties, this New York pioneer is world-renowned for his dancefloor-burning DJ sets. With six studio albums, 50+ singles, several compilations and a remix catalog spanning from Bob Marley & Nina Simone to Thievery Corporation, he remains one of the most important leaders of global fusion. Nickodemus seamlessly fuses Latin, African, Middle Eastern, and Caribbean diasporas with heavy club beats, House, and Hip-Hop, so get ready to experience a masterclass in global rhythms! 🔊

Πριν από λίγες μέρες μάθαμε πως πρέπει να αποχαιρετήσουμε ξαφνικά και για πάντα τη Νικόλ. Είμαστε ακόμη μουδιασμένοι∙ η απώλειά της σημαίνει κάτι βαθύ για καθέναν από εμάς ξεχωριστά, αλλά είναι μεγάλη απώλεια και για τη Θεσσαλονίκη, για εκείνο το κομμάτι της πόλης που εξακολουθεί να αγωνίζεται, να δημιουργεί και να πολεμάει το σκοτάδι.

Αυτήν την Κυριακή, στον πεζόδρομό της, στην Γκαρμπολά, την αποχαιρετάμε όπως θα ήθελε: όλοι μαζί σε μια μεγάλη πολύχρωμη γιορτή.

💜 Στο επανιδείν, Νικόλ. Θα ανταμώνουμε στους δρόμους, στις συναυλίες, στα ταβερνάκια, σε όλα όσα αγάπησες και μας ένωσαν.
