Few combinations work as well as a beach setting and the kind of music that defined a generation — and RetroLA has built its reputation on exactly that pairing. This June, the event returns to Akakia Beach Bar in Limassol for what promises to be one of the summer's most nostalgic afternoons, drawing together the greatest hits of the 80s and 90s in a venue where the sea is never more than a few steps away.
The party kicks off at 14:00, with DJ Anagiotos at the controls from the start. His sets are known for their narrative quality — a carefully sequenced journey through two decades of pop, dance and Greek hits rather than a random shuffle through the archives. Alongside him, Kokis Percussions brings live drumming to the mix, a detail that elevates the whole experience considerably. There is something about live percussion outdoors that bypasses every rational filter and goes straight to the feet.
RetroLA has cultivated a loyal following among those who grew up with this music, as well as younger listeners discovering it for the first time. The Greek hits of those decades carry a particular emotional weight — summer holidays, late nights, radio stations crackling through open windows — and hearing them in an open-air beach bar in Limassol gives them a second life that a club interior simply cannot replicate.
Full programme details and ticketing information are expected to be confirmed closer to the June date. Check with the organisers at Akakia Beach Bar for the latest updates.
