Release Athens 2022 welcomes the beloved Parov Stelar on Saturday June 18th 2022, at Plateia Nerou. The famous artist from Austria and his wonderful band guarantees a night of delight, dancing and feel-good vibes. On the same bill, one of the top acts in the dance scene of this era, the Ukrainian ARTBAT and the Berlin-based DJ and producer Kevin de Vries. The booking of ARTBAT was finalized for quite some time now, but the events on their country, inevitably, slowed things down. We are extremely happy to have them at the festival and we wish -and hope- that the war in Ukraine will soon be over.
Marcus Füreder is the musical mastermind behind Parov Stelar and the founder of the Electro Swing genre with a series of worldwide hits as “Catgroove”, “Booty Swing”, “All Night”, “The Princess”, “The Sun” and “Matilda”.
For over two decades, his live concerts remain his greatest strength. Together with a fantastic band they have played over 1,000 shows with countless sold-outs at iconic venues like Play Station Theatre in New York, Alexandra Palace in London, Zenith in Paris and the biggest music festivals like Coachella, Glastonbury, Sziget, Lollapalooza and Pukkelpop.
At the same time, he is a highly sought-after remixer and has worked with artists like Tony Bennett & Lady Gaga, Lana Del Rey, Lukas Graham and Bryan Ferry while his music has been used extensively in movies, tv series and advertisements.

ARTBAT were formed by Artur and Batish, two experienced DJs and producers of the underground dance scene of Kiev. Since the emergence of their first single “Mandrake”, they made a splash to the techno scene, getting support from some of the biggest names in the business, like Richie Hawtin and Maceo Plex. Within a year, they’ve managed to take the dancefloors around the world by storm, appearing in the biggest dance events and reaching the top of the Beatport charts worldwide.
They didn’t look back since then. By continuing to evolve their sound and showing their take on melody, the duo released a string of top-class singles on Solomun’s imprint, Diynamic Music, and on Fryhide and by the end of 2019, they were one of the most in demand acts of the international circuit. They were Mixmag’s Stars of the Year, as well as Beatport’s overall Number 1 bestselling artists and Pete Tong would invite them to his iconic BBC Radio One show, to record their first Essential Mix.

Right after his first release in 2015, Kevin de Vries began his ascent in the techno scene, demonstrating a distinct talent for mixing 90s trance sounds with the modern, German take on dance music. In 2016, with the release of "Eternity" things took off, as the biggest names in club music (Adam Beyer, Richie Hawtin, etc.) selected his tracks for every set they played that year.
In 2017, he started playing on the most important dancefloors, from the famous Watergate to Awakenings Festival, and releasing his songs on the biggest labels in the business, such as Sven Vath's Cocoon, Beyer's legendary Drumcode and of course his second home, Afterlife, curated by the Italian superstars Tale of Us. Nowadays, he is considered a special DJ, a sought-after remixer and producer and comes to Release Athens 2022 for a DJ set with incredible intensity and unique energy.

El Siciliano is not a man of big words, his language is finest beats combined with a subtle retro touch. German born with Sicilian ancestors he started his musical career in the late 70s and managed to recycle the 80s sound and bring it to the current party level. "Balearic made" dance music that spreads adventure, freedom and the lust of life of Sicily. Electronic music in its most beautiful form!
