Poolside with Bakerman

Your weekend ritual starts here. Refreshing dips, tasty bites, a cocktail in hand, and a soundtrack made for the Riviera.

Every Saturday and Sunday, we’re slowing time down poolside — with Balearic beats, ethnic sounds, organic house, and downtempo grooves setting the tone for an effortless afternoon on the Athenian coast.

This Sunday’s sounds are provided by BAKERMAN.

DJ Bakerman (aka Christos Petrakidis), an Athens-born selector whose musical journey began with classical piano lessons before evolving into something far more soulful. You’d find him spending countless hours digging through the city’s legendary record stores, building an impressive vinyl collection that would eventually shape his musical identity. His vast knowledge spans genres, but it’s his perfect blend of soul and electronic that truly represents his sound, timeless yet contemporary. Having graced venues across Greece and collaborated with Athenian nightlife legends like Street Outdoors and Space Paradise, Bakerman lives by a simple philosophy: everyone is born with a purpose, and his is to share music with the world.

Pull up a sunbed, soak up the Mediterranean sun, and make the weekend last a little longer as the music carries you.
