their own biography
the whole biography
With top-lines performed in English and Greek, their productions explore the world of electronica & UK rave culture, moving through deconstructed club, electropunk, garage and drum & bass. Lyrically, Aphty Khéa bears tales touching on subjects of organised society, sociopolitical commentary, gender identity & queerness, existentialism, matters of the heart, and even...a zombie apocalypse. With a musical background that spans choir from the age of six, studying classical singing and piano at school, winning junior Eurovision TV Song Contest in Greece as a child, moving to London at 18 to study a BA in songwriting at ICMP; session playing for Jordan Rakei and Rachel Chinouriri, to finally find themselves between Berlin and London, community organising and making thought provoking music, accompanied by hard-hitting visuals. Supported on Radio 1 with Jamz Supernova, BBC Introducing Dance with Jaguar, 6 Music with Lauren Laverne, Mary Anne Hobbs and Tom Ravenscroft, NTS, FluxFM and Rinse FM, as well as features on DJ Mag, CLASH, The Fader, KALTBLUT Magazine, Mixmag, Beatport, Music Tech, and guest mixes on Radio 1, Rinse FM, Selector Radio and Worldwide FM. Previous releases were seen powered by Toy Tonics, Future Disco, Psychotic Reaction Music, Squareglass, Slow Dance Records, The Sound of Everything, with longterm music collaborators Arpy Brown, Gabriel Gifford, VEDA BLACK and bluebox.Last at Crack Bellmer in Sep 2025 · often with Bconscious, Guido Iacovitti, Gforty, none of them here that night
