After Hours on Poplie radio - Julee Cruise - Floating Into The Night by Stratos Bacalis on Mixcloud

This After Hours show was dedicated to the Carly Simon album "Hello Big Man: from 1983. It is an old favourite of mine, bringing back lots of memories, especially of the summer of 1984, when, having summer lessons every weekday for my English Cambridge Lower exams, I'd start my day listening to the namesake song from this album before going to class. Still love it to bits.

After Hours on Poplie radio: Prefab Sprout - Steve McQueen - 27/05/2015

This is a show of mine from the After Hours zone of Poplie radio, where each DJ from the station presents one album that he considers special. Again I tried to comment on each and every song and talk about why it is important. not only for me but also for music history, as it is considered one of the best albums ever, finding its position in many music magazines and critics top-100 lists of all-time-best albums.

After Hours on Poplie radio: Siouxsie & The Banshees - Through The Looking Glass

This is one of my all-time favourite albums, and the one I judge all cover albums against. A superb effort by the group in a difficult period for them, a cleansing of their palette that led to the masterpiece called Peepshow.

After Hours: Kate Bush - The Dreaming, on Poplie radio, 16/10/2013

Poplie web radio, int its 5th season now, started having a new midnight show on week days: each day, a different Popliar will present one of his favourite albums, with commentary on it. My first After Hours show was a chance for me to present one of my all-time favourite albums, Kate Bush's The Dreaming. I talk (in Greek) about the recording process, the reception it received, comment on each track and also play the b-sides of all the singles that came out of it. After the album cover, you can listen to the entire show again.
