Greek artist Keep Shelly In Athens has been a force to be reckoned with since the 2011 release of their debut EP “Campus Martius.” After a fruitful decade-long career, which include releases on Forest Family Records, Cascine and Friends of Friends, they launch a new era for the project.
With primary member/producer RPR at the forefront, the approach is more fluid. Here RPR’s production stands at the center, collaborating with different guest vocalists from around the world on each release. The first single in this series is “You” featuring LA-based vocalist Georgia Hurd. Hurd’s languid, echo-y vocals serve as the perfect compliment to RPR’s disco-inspired groove.
We asked KSIA to create a playlist of songs that that inspire their new collection of tracks. Take a listen below to dive into KSIA’s dreamy world.
Nea Kameni – Febueder
This atmospheric masterpiece from Febueder everytime I listen to it reminds me my first summer in Santorini! It seems so distant now though.

That 80’s feeling you get when you listen to this gem!
Mexico City Blondes – Addio
We use to play this song so many times while touring / driving in our last north American tour!
Luvian – Valley Girl
This song is electronic piece of gold. Period.

Nostalgia and melancholy perfectly balanced. In other words Porch Song.

Glasgow, Athens, Edinburgh. Natali, Me, Joy. In other words The Antirealists.
