In the summer of 2017, I hit the road in order to explore the alluring relationship between experiential events such as live concerts & nostalgia in the context of my favourite music band Depeche Mode. The resulting MSc research paper was awarded with a Distinction / First Class grade by the Business School of the prestigious University of Edinburgh.

This website is dedicated to the project and presents the full academic research as well as some band-related imagery focused on their live performances throughout the years.

I am currently in the planning stage of expanding further the presented work in order to publish a full-scale topic-related book. If you are interested to contribute or hear more, feel free to reach out via the Contact tab.

If you want to check out some of the other music-related projects I have been part of during the years, follow the links below:

Druzhba Records / Vinyl-only house & techno label which I co-founded back in 2016 while living in Berlin, Germany. All releases are limited to few hundred copies and some of the artists that have released with us include Rick Wade, Len Lewis, Vern, Rinaldo Makaj, Patrice Meiner, Maik Yells, Laughing Man & many more.

Fuueihou / Solo project of myself that sees me performing DJ sets across the world and recording mixes that almost feel like a dream.

Fuzoku / A music duo I co-founded while living in Berlin, Germany with own productions released on labels such as Sake & Vinyl Only, Baile Musik, Yoruba Grooves, Hypnotic Room Japan & more. In addition, Fuzoku tracks have been remixed by established artists such as Hideo Kobayashi, Marko Nastic, Nicolas Duvoisin, Satoshi Fumi & more.
