Agrio Tracks takes inspiration from the Greek Island of Patmos. Floating in the deep blue South-Aegean sea, this island, once a refuge to the apostle Johannes, has become a modern-day haven for creatives. Here, you can marvel at centuries-old art, experience inspiring performances and become mesmerized by beautiful music wherever you go — whether you’re climbing up to the monastery of Chorá, making your way down to the harbor of Skala or settling underneath a tree at Agrio Livadi beach. About 2500km North West, in Amsterdam, DJ and promoter Tjade sought to distill the creative energy and essence of Patmos and create a space for young and unestablished artists to feel at home. During the ten-year process of launching his own career, Tjade found time and again how cold and distant the music label industry could be. With the launch of Agrio Tracks, he was, quite literally, creating a warm, open space for other artists to find refuge. A place that is all about the heart, the soul and naturally, the music.
