In Trance 95 – Code of Obsession (Expanded Digital Edition) [MW]

Originally released in July 1990, Code of Obsession is the debut album from In Trance 95 — the Athens-based duo of Alex Machairas and Nik Veliotis, and one of the rare purely electronic acts to emerge from Greece in the 1980s. Recorded and released on the Wipe Out! label, the original album weaves together minimal synth, early EBM, and industrial textures across seven tracks, including Obsession Day, Shamandance, and Love Thing. A product of deep analog experimentation, Code of Obsession stands as a defining document of the Greek underground electronic scene and a key artifact of the broader minimal wave movement that would later captivate collectors and listeners worldwide. Previously only available on vinyl, this official digital release makes the album accessible for the first time to streaming and download audiences everywhere — expanded to 11 tracks with four additional recordings presented here for the first time.

In Trance 95 – The Move [MW083]

Minimal Wave announces the forthcoming release from legendary Greek electronic pioneers In Trance 95. This special EP features six vintage tracks recorded between the late 80s and early 90s at Airdawn Studio in Athens. A vital piece of the Greek electronic music story, these songs showcase In Trance 95’s visionary approach to analog synth and early EBM sounds. Formed in Athens in 1988 by Alex Machairas and Nik Veliotis, In Trance 95 quickly became known for their stark, minimal synth sound, distinguished by hypnotic melodies, analog textures, and a futuristic edge. At a time when electronic music was still emerging in Greece, they were true innovators, blending the raw spirit of early EBM with a distinctly Mediterranean sense of space and atmosphere. Over the decades, their work has earned cult status among fans of underground electronic music worldwide.

In Trance 95 – Shapes In A New Geometry [MW043]

Minimal Wave announce the release of a cassette of new music by Greek legends In Trance 95. After last year’s successful Cities Of Steel And Neon album release, In Trance 95 came together once again and have been working diligently in the studio on all kinds of new material. Aside from their recent raved about shows in Europe, this cassette is a taste of what they have been up to at Airdawn Studio in Athens, Greece. Quite dark, industrial and sometimes experimental (with glimpses of smokey dance floor atmosphere), these tracks are stark, heavy and cold.

In Trance 95 – Cities Of Steel & Neon [MW029]

Minimal Wave proudly presents Cities Of Steel And Neon, a compilation of early tape recordings by Greek electronic pioneers In Trance 95. In Trance 95 was formed by Alex Machairas and Nik Veliotis when they were just 18 years old. From its inception, the duo shaped their sound using portable analogue synthesizers and drum machines, becoming one of the first artists in the minimal synth / cold wave / EBM vein to come out of Greece in the 80s.
