Two collectives bring underground sounds together
Founded in Lyon in February 2024, Hecate operates as both a collective and a media platform focused on music and the arts. Through events, street interviews, video blogs, and reports, it highlights different forms of cultural expression while seeking to connect people and organizations across the music scene.
The collective places particular emphasis on diversity and accessibility, with a central goal of bringing people together through a shared passion for music and live events.
Koma, meanwhile, emerged from a desire to unite and showcase the distinctive sounds of the underground scene. Working at the intersection of hip-hop and electronic music, the collective explores the connections between two genres that continue to evolve and influence one another.
Through “Fuζion,” the two groups bring these approaches together, creating a space for Greek and French artists to exchange ideas and explore their common ground.
Homr embodies the event’s Greek-French identity
Among the performers, Homr stands out as a direct link between the two cultures. A Greek-French artist who grew up between Lyon and Athens, he draws on both places in his music, blending the two languages and cultural influences through his lyrics, sound, and visual work.

With five EPs and several singles released, Homr is also a member of Koma. His participation reflects the central idea behind “Fuζion”: bringing Greek and French rap together through artists whose personal experiences cross national and linguistic boundaries.
Homr has also collaborated with Lunar on the track “Success,” while he previously made a guest appearance at one of her live shows at Off The Hook, a music event in Greece.
Lunar represents a new voice in Greek rap
Lunar, one of the emerging voices in the Greek rap scene, will also perform at the inaugural Athens event. She began writing and releasing music at 16, drawing on personal experiences, thoughts, and emotions to shape her lyrics and sound.
Her discography includes 10 singles, two EPs, and one album, through which she has developed a distinctive musical identity.
