about

AONIAN brings his new single 'Ascent', fusing melodic, trippy electronica with Mediterranean soundscapes.

With references to traditional and folk elements from his home country, the Greek born and London based producer successfully pays homage to our past and present whilst remaining loyal to an ever-changing cultural identity.

"Ascent was inspired by conversations I had with friend, storyteller, and ethnomusicologist Anastasis Sarakatsanos (@nomadmusicamsterdam) back in the summer of 2017, conversations surrounding cultural narrative and identity, especially in times of massive migrations, and how this all kept fuelling folklore stories and traditional music, as well as modern art, in Balkan and Mediterranean cultures. His performance on the Qanun instrument is featured throughout the track and made me overcome my initial doubts in including soundscapes from my motherland in my productions. It's the first track of my debut album, and the entrance to my Aonian world." - Alkis Livathinos

Having already established a trusted reputation in composition across media and brands (including Fendi, Louis Vuitton and Glossier), AONIAN emerges from five-years of conceptual and instrumental experimentation, delivering a refreshing sound.

His recent remix for the Glastonbury brothers - Speakman Sound - has been supported and played by DJ John Digweed in a Bunker Sessions set and his upcoming debut album has attracted interest from the likes of London start-up Remixology HQ and the recently awarded music blog Give it a Spin.
