Penelope is one of the first DJs in Greece specializing in Swing Jazz
music and the sounds of the first half of the previous century.
Being
already familiar with Jazz, she started Lindy Hop dance in 2007.
Her
passion for this era drove her deeper into traditional Jazz and she
began to discover and share the world of Afro-American music.
She is
frequently organizing theme events and successfully creates the unique
atmosphere of past decades by combining videos and music and using her
vinyl and shellac records.
She has performed in many big events and
festivals around Greece and Europe as the official Dj of Lindy Hop
Greece.
Also, she’s never missed a single year from the lineup of “Swing
‘n’ Swim International Dance Festival” (Chalkidiki, Greece) for the
last 9 years!
From March 2011 till April 2016 she was producing and
presenting her own live radio show called “Take the A train” at a radio
station in Thessaloniki.

Octopus Garden, inspired
by the famous song by the Beatles, is a startup based in Thessaloniki
(Greece)
and founded by a group of Berlin’s well-known cultural and
creative scene leaders.
OG aims to support the cultural and economic
exchange with Berlin and to capture the potential of this Greek port
city: its liveliness and its openness,
of which it holds a lot in common
with Berlin.
Our project, ‘Sounds Like Thessaloniki', aims to
present the current musical vibe,
trends and activity in Thessaloniki
through collectives, groups, individual artists and DJs who are active
in the city’s music scene,
each representing a different philosophy and
covering a wide range of music styles and activities.
