Solo project of Giannis Papaioannou from 1996 onwards. ION’s music was always characterized from its underground repetitive minimalism. Influenced by the techno scene, and especially from record companies such as Basic Channel, ION was probably one of the first Greek artists to appear at live performances with his portable computer alone. 2005 signalled his return to the local techno scene with the release of a new album and a series of live sets along with his darling laptop.
