Nabu Pera – Soundscapes of Nicosia (Album)
Recorded and Mixed by Andreas Matheou – at Hot Soap Studios in the 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.

Rooted in deep and melodic house with a techno edge, Nativalien crafts immersive sonic journeys shaped by his rich, cross-continental background spanning Amman, London, Vancouver, and now Cyprus, where he leads Hot Soap Studios Ltd. With a foundation in classical music, a singer-songwriter’s sensitivity, and a DJ’s sense for momentum, his sound is unmistakably his own.
‘On & On’ is a lush, vocal-driven cut, combining bold piano hooks, sleek grooves, and bursts of urban texture. Designed for both movement and introspection, it pulses with sunset-soaked warmth and late-night depth. ‘On & On’ isn’t just a track, it’s a fusion of passion and precision set to resonate far beyond the dancefloor.”

Pinwheel Valley – Run Wild (EP)
Recorded by Andreas Matheou / Co. Produced and Mixed by Qais Khoury & Andreas Matheou – at Hot Soap Studios in the Winter of 2024
Written by Pinwheel Valley
Mastered by Robb R
Release: Single ”Run Wild”

Pinwheel Valley unveiled a cascade of neo-classic electronica consonance in their Go Your Way EP
Pinwheel Valley exhibited their most cinematic sound to date in their two-track EP, Go Your Way, which launched on November 28th
In the opening title single, the frantically paced neo-classical piano keys cascade within the arcanely diaphanous atmosphere. Hymnally timbered vocals sporadically weave in, leaving introspective mantras to linger within the sublimity-soaked score, marking a new wave of alchemy in the signature Pinwheel Valley sound. At the mid-way mark, the composition echoes nuances of orchestral art rock with ambiently off-kilter time signatures that amplify the thematic sense of confliction within the viscerally affecting piece.
Track two, Run Wild, is a confessional counterpart to the opener, which juxtaposes the neo-classical elements with undercurrents of trip-hop-leaning leftfield indietronica, ushering the invitation to get swept up in the momentum of the artfully arranged instrumentals as they veer ever closer to an intense crescendo of filmically industrial-esque discordance.
Each note in the EP is poised to ensure the listener’s surrender to the flow of the evocatively arranged installations of unfeigned expression, emboldening them to explore the depth of their own emotions, guided by abstract lyrical imagery.
Tea Dragon – Tea Dragon (EP)
Recorded by Andreas Matheou / Produced and Mixed by Qais Khoury – at Hot Soap Studios in the Spring of 2024
Mastered by Robb R
Release: EP ”Tea Dragon”
Written by Tea Dragon

Tea Dragon Orchestrated a Symphonic Parable of Dualism with the Instrumental EP, Tea Dragon
Qais Khoury continues to be an incalculable entity in the music industry; the fluidity of their creativity refuses to be dammed, evidenced by their panoramic symphonic narrative of an instrumental 2-track EP, Tea Dragon.
The prelude piece, Void, eases you into the profoundly unexpected EP; the opening chapter of a story told in melody, set in the dusk of desolation arrests through the tenderly ruminative guitars filtered through ambient reverberations, intersected by classical strings and electronica aesthetics of cinematic serenity.
The title single contrasts the quiescence caged within Void; lush tonal transcendence precedes the art-rock crescendo which unflinchingly extends throughout the intricate rhythmic visceralism of the release, the contorting time signatures become emblems of fortitude as they meet resistance with resilience.
Side by side, Void and Tea Dragon become a manifestation of the dualism between introspection and action.
