Artemas

Euphoric, black pop party with Artemas in Store VEGA

Artmeas blends sensual darkwave, alternative pop and indie in a universe that brings to mind dark 90s aesthetics. Here, the diary's fragile and at times provocative lyrics meet and lustre a space of pulsating dark, confident pop beats.

In true DIY style, Artemas plays with the contrasts of music and operates with a raw, honest and style-conscious expression. He creates danceable, blue-black pop numbers that seek out both seething desires and nagging doubts. Wrapped up in minimalist yet effective productions that tip their hat to other obscure pop artists such as e.g. The Weeknd.

With his alternative pop sound and huge hits like “If U Think I'm Pretty” and “I Like the Way You Kiss Me”, Artemas has stood out in just a few years as one of the most exciting new voices in alternative pop.

The latter, in particular, became one of the most ubiquitous pop tracks of 2024 and underscored Diamandis' special ability to unite catchy hooks with a cool, understated attitude.

Artemas Diamandis — who is behind the artist name Artemas — has Greek Cypriot roots, grew up in Oxfordshire and started playing the piano as a child. At 16, he threw himself into songwriting and has since honed his craft, developing a sound that today feels both period typical and all his own.

As an adult, he was signed to 10K Projects and debuted in 2020 with the single “High 4 U”. On March 27 of this year, he debuted with the album Getting Up to No Good. A seductive album that draws on references from the hyperpop, breakbeats and euphoric, sweaty club vibe.

On December 1, Artemas takes over Store VEGA with a dark, melancholic and loose hyperpop fest.
