Athens-based Stegi Radio and Berlin-based Cashmere Radio present a one-day online exchange event on Sunday 14 January 2024.

Cashmere Radio presents a roster of producers that reflect its experimental nature, while Stegi Radio chooses up and coming producers from Athens, Thessaloniki and beyond that represent the adventurous and genre-defying creative force of the electronic scene of Greece.
