  Music For Walking

  Aug 10, 20261h 20m

  So excited to welcome Virginia Tzioti - had the pleaselure of meeting this great dj recently in Todmorden. We now have our own website page where you can donate to Talk Club. www.speakupanddance.com/music-for-walking If this resonates, you can donate as little as £1 towards Talk Club - all funds go directly to the charity. Bio: Based between Athens and London, Virginia Tzioti is a jewellery artist, audiophile, and vinyl selector rooted in Athens’ underground club culture of the ’90s. Shaped by eclectic dancefloors and leftfield electronic sounds, she developed an instinctive, mood-driven approach to music selection that moves freely across sounds, styles, and eras, guided more by atmosphere and emotional flow than genre boundaries. Since the mid-2000s, she has been building a vinyl collection and performing in Greece and internationally since 2015, while also being a regular contributor to the Athens-based online station Fade Radio. Her perspective has been further shaped by New York’s Loft party culture, reinforcing an open-ended and intuitive approach to sound. 1.
