It's the year 2017 and we're proud to present „Nebula“ - the second full on artist album on Upon.You Records and the longplay debut for our Greek longtime friend Petros Manganaris, better known under his Echonomist moniker to all followers of electronic club music, who first appeared on Upon.You Digital back in 2009 and contributed to our catalogue on a regular ever since.

Born, raised and still located in the scenic city of Thessaloniki the Greek producer started his electronic explorations at a young age when he was gifted a basic synthesizer by his family, with the intention of him learning to perform traditional music for family entertainment purposes. But obviously plans didn't work out as intended and young Petros was rather interested in creating weird and twisted sounds and laying down early tape recordings.

Progressing from this raw beginnings he evolved into Downtempo later and recorded three studio albums with his band / electronic fusion project 'IνΦο' until 2009 – all of them well received in the Greek electronic music scene. Throughout this time and heavily influenced by artists and labels Maurizio, Carl Craig, Black Dog, Underground Resistance, Echocord and the likes of, Petros picked up on DJ'ing and created his Echonomist moniker which combined his freshly acquired accounting diploma then meant to be his real life profession and his love for echo-heavy Dub and DubTechno music.

This combination surely was a lucky one as his production efforts under the Echonomist name soon were recognized by labels like Dessous Recordings, Time Has Changed, Resopal and Upon.You Records and others, his career both as a producer and a DJ picked up pace and lead to a string of numerous bookings, releases and remixes ever since.

In his longplay debut „Nebula“ we see Echonomist not only provide a space-themed title for an album but also pay homage to the artists influential to him with an masterly crafted array of classic Techno tunes as well as excursions into Ambient- and Electronica-informed territories.
