Max La Rocca's Tribe

If there was a DJ to rule them all and move effortlessly from street soul to balearic, dub oddities, house and cosmic disco, that would probably be Not in the superstar sense of the word, but as one of those rare selectors who still treats DJing as a living, breathing craft. Born in Manchester and shaped by Ibiza summers and Sydney warehouse culture, Ruf Dug feels less like a conventional DJ and more like a musical universe held together by instinct, curiosity and emotion.

So, for one evening Sarpas Beach transforms into the Radar stage & the spirit of one of Athens’ most beloved bars carried directly onto the shoreline of Aegina, where sea salt, strange records and beautifully loose dancefloor energy slowly become part of the same atmosphere. Joining Ruf Dug behind the booth will be Radar’s own one of the most eclectic selectors Greece has to offer and a central figure in Athens’ underground identity, alongside a familiar face to anyone who truly knows the island, opening the night exactly the way it should unfold: slowly, patiently and with immaculate taste.

Behind the bar, legend returns for his second guest shift of the weekend, this time in a more relaxed setting, at a bar built especially for him directly on the sand.

Later that evening at Ktima Kollatou, we screen the acclaimed road movie “Xenia” by Panos Koutras. Tender, political and deeply human all at once, it became one of the defining Greek films of its generation, sweeping the Hellenic Film Academy Awards with six awards including Best Film, Best Director and Screenplay, before the festival eventually drifts toward Perdikiotika. There, of Kosmos Radio 93.6 takes over the booth with italo, disco and indie dance selections, before the night closes with a long-awaited back-to-back between Pene and Christian Disko, the kind of session where nobody really wants to know what time it is anymore.

All Festival events take place with free admission, with the support of Tito’s Handmade Vodka, Barcelo, Budweiser Budvar, Gin Engine, Kirki beer & Rooster Rojo.
