Intimate Sessions

Pinwheel Valley, the reimagined moniker of KAIS, returns to Hot Soap Studios three years later for Intimate Session #11 on July 25th.

Crafting cinematic, genre-blurring music often described as “fairytales for adults,” Pinwheel Valley weaves together Indie Soul, atmospheric Alt-Rock, and textured Folktronica into immersive sonic landscapes. Defined by emotive vocals, intricate instrumentation, and expansive production, the project balances haunting intimacy with soaring intensity, exploring identity, longing, and human connection through deeply personal, dreamlike storytelling.

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.

Copper Mine’s musical journey began in his teenage years, digging through his older sister’s record collection and discovering the timeless sounds of Bob Dylan, JJ Cale, Dire Straits, the Beatles, and Bob Marley. Over time, his love of music expanded to embrace jazz, Latin rhythms, and even opera. For him, every song is a way to capture and preserve a moment in time.

Joined by a powerhouse lineup—Andreas Matheou on guitars, Andreas Antoniou on bass, Kyriakos Costa on keys, and Julien Koukides on drums—the band brings Copper Mine’s vision to life with energy and soul.

Kyriakos is a Cyprus-based pianist, composer, and songwriter. As an artist, he has a holistic artistic vision that combines his own original music material with several art forms such as contemporary Greek poetry and modern storytelling. Kyriakos’s music is characterized by sweet melodies, atmospheric sounds, catchy hooks, and traditional Greek elements, resulting in a cinematic output. Coming from a classical music background and with idiosyncratic yet atmospheric songs, Kyriakos will present a unique heartfelt act, served with rich music.
