Still relevant after all these years, Dimosioypalliliko Retire’s ‘On the Administration of Panic’ was reissued in 2016, bringing the band closer to new ears and to a new generation of listeners. With a sui-generis critical approach to both music and the everyday, each new listen offers breaths of fresh air but also raises unforeseen questions.

Their caustic humour brightened us up, and their sharp gaze gave strength and relief to many. The music on the other hand touched us, and somewhat unexpectedly some of it even managed to move a few bodies on a dancefloor or two. But the LP sold out. As we patiently wait for more of the band’s material to come back to the surface, we repressed the first album so that no one would miss it.
