Emanuel Satie live at Korai Square in Athens for Nepenthe x This is Athens Festival

Watch a unique, open-air DJ set straight from the heart of Athens, recorded live at Korai Square during our special street takeover for the This is Athens Festival.

We wanted to bring the NEPENTHE energy right into the center of the city. Surrounded by historic architecture and the everyday pulse of downtown Athens, we turned one of the city’s most iconic pedestrian squares into a massive open-air dancefloor.

Emanuel Satie took control of the decks and delivered exactly what the space needed. His sound, deep, dynamic, and full of groove, perfectly matched the concrete landscape around us. He kept the crowd moving effortlessly as the afternoon faded into the Athenian night.

This recording captures exactly what we love doing, bringing cutting-edge electronic music, urban street culture, and an amazing crowd together in the most unexpected parts of the city.
