Valeron’s 2022 album Aroma frames Greece’s diverse musical history through a contemporary lens and acts as a testament to the current collaborative milieu of the island. It is a dance between the Mediterranean and Middle Eastern instruments, all acoustic and recorded live, with the Mykonos native’s hovering hand on mixers and synths. This is a rare accomplishment for a well-versed hand that has helped shape an island’s electronic music scene and now DJs from a pedestal.
Valeron has spent a lot of time in the Mykonos club scene, initially as a regular attendee and then as a DJ and producer. The island native plans to release his fourth solo album Aroma on September 9, 2022, on the house label Scorpios Music, as a long-term resident artist at Scorpios Mykonos.
‘Fragile‘ is out now via Scorpios Music.
Fragile is one of my favourite Sting songs, so I decided to release it as an official single with Gabriel Russel on vocals and guitar and adjusted synths and vocal phrases. This track holds a special place in my heart and it’s one that has brought the band closer in the past — we always play it as the last track when performing live.
