Nabu Pera – Soundscapes of Nicosia (Album)
Recorded and mixed by Andreas Matheou – at Hot Soap Studios in Winter of 2025.
Mastered by Sweetspot Productions, Athens
Release: Album ”Soundscapes of Nicosia”
Album Artwork: Poise Design Studio
The Nābu Pēra music project is a Cypriot trio from Nicosia that fuses traditional and modern elements to create a unique sound. Formed by Savvas Thoma (bendir, vocals), Natasa Hadjiandreou (vibraphone, percussion), and Demetris Yiasemides (flute, sylphyo, electronics), their mission is to redefine how we perceive everyday soundscapes. Their debut album, Soundscapes of Nicosia, releases on October 10, 2025 through the Italian label Zero Nove Nove, with global digital distribution and physical copies available in several European countries.
The album transforms the auditory identity of Nicosia—Europe’s last divided capital—into music. Drawing inspiration from the city’s geopolitical complexity and cultural intersections, Nābu Pēra blends ambient flutes, polyrhythmic percussion, electronic textures, and evocative vocals. Urban sounds—footsteps, voices, electrical hums—are reimagined as musical material, encouraging listeners to slow down and reconnect with their environment.
This world music project integrates contemporary classical, improvisation, Mediterranean traditions, and electronic elements into a layered, immersive experience. Recorded at Hot Soap Studio in Larnaca, the album reflects deep research and collaboration. Rather than merely sampling the city, Nābu Pēra listens, deciphers, and reinvents its sound, offering a new way to experience both music and place.

Buzz’ Ayaz – Buzz’ Ayaz (Album)
Recorded and mixed by Makes Pelopidas with assistant engineer Andreas Matheou – at Hot Soap Studios in Summer of 2023.
Release: Album ”Buzz’ Ayaz”
Written by: Antonis Antoniou
Website: https://buzzayaz.com/
Hailing from Cyprus’s divided capital Nicosia, this newly-born project led by Antonis Antoniou – founder of award-winning bands Monsieur Doumani and Trio Tekke – brings a fresh air of Eastern Mediterranean psychedelia, rock and blues.
A dynamic offbeat groove emitted from the tribal-like drumming and the fierce bass clarinet riffs produces a grimy trance-like reverie.
The result is a fuzzy urban soundscape of synth textures and dubby electronics, 70s psych organ allusions, growling reed utterances and microtonal Anatolian melodic spices.
Their debut album has been released September 2024 via Glitterbeat Records.
