INTERVIEW AND.ID
Tomorrow night in Beirut, The Gärten & Sunsets are teaming up to give you a special showcase that will include Mobilee's master of swung beats, And.id.
Born and bred in Thessaloniki, Greece, Andreas Dimitriadis began reciprocating music from an early age absorbed in his father's extensive record collection. From his musical studies, he applied his training to a range of artistic outlets, jamming in local bands, producing tracks for freestyle groups and creating scores for short films. His new full length album, "Eternal Return" will re-introduce And.Id as he digs deep into his musical roots and depicts his world in newly discovered melodies.
And.Id's acclaimed live show integrates both well-loved and unreleased productions, loops and esoteric grooves into a high-energy affair. Moreover, And.Id's individualized approach is a perfect reflection of the vision, passion, and love of music that continues to drive the extended mobilee team in all that they do, and all that will come.
