11-13 May 07, Thessaloniki (Greece)

January 12th, 2008 · No Comments

skg07web031.jpg Once again the MOS came back to the home of some of the most inspiring philosophers… Aristoteles, Platon, Pythagoras and many more. Greece was a source of knowledge and wisdom in ancient times and still is to these days.

Thessaloniki is Greece’s second-largest city and the capital of the Greek region of Macedonia and the periphery of Central Macedonia. According to official data, the Thessaloniki Urban Area curves round the Thermaic Gulf for approximately 17 km

It comprises 16 municipalities and according to the 2001 census has a population of 800.746. The Thessaloniki prefecture has a population of 1,058,000. saloniki07citypic.jpg

No doubt about that! A nice proof is the high-quality spray-paint of our new sponsor coming straight from Athens. You will see. The MOS Greece 007 came over with a new spot and new flavour in the land of the Spartan King Leonidas and his 300 hardcore soldiers.

The Live2store – for a third year in a row – proudly presents the most important Graffiti-Festival in Greece, in the city of Thessaloniki.

As the metropolitan area population expands to over one million inhabitants, so does the emergence of related problems. These primarily include an increase in traffic congestion, the lack of adequate parking facilities as well as an overconstruction of tightly packed, concrete blocks of apartment buildings. The construction of a subway line that will stretch along the city’s central districts began on June 25, 2006 and is expected to be completed by the year 2012. skg07flyer.jpg

The meeting-spot of 2007 is similar to the first place of the greek MOS, but even better. Next by the sea, at a big parking lot at the Aretsou plaza in Kalamaria. The place is located very close at the last year’s festival and it easy to access by cars, busses.

The taxis are increcdible cheap! For a couple of euros you can ride among the entire city. But if you save your money for cans, take bus number 5 which stops outside the place. This year was a very fresh line up for Greece.

skg07web027.jpg The sun was shining, the weather was sweet now… so the Jam started friday with the preparation of the walls and working on the first lines of the concepts.
Most, Rush and San of the spanish Porno Stars have flown in to get a taste of greek Hip-Hop- and Graffiti-Culture, but also to rock a dope production with a spanish buffalo. skg07web019.jpg

While the main wall as reserved for the invites and some local crews, more seperate walls were rocked by Graffiti-Artists from entire Greece. All walls were located around a parking-lot near to the beach with pavillons and little beach-cafés.

skg07web002.jpg All day long DJs were playing the right tunes so music could be herad all over the area. Beside of the Graffiti-attraction, a pipe had been build up for a skaters- and BMx-contest.
Eventhough the sun was burning among 2000 people came along to watch, to chill and to chat. Everything was smooth and the atmosphere signed by communication and colaboration. SKG07web017.jpg

As the sun went down people were ready for the Balkanian Battle of the year that spcied up the night with a lot of unexpected moments. Sunday was the day and time to add the last details on the pieces and productions and those who were done at that time simply moved on to another Hall-Of-Fame in this beautiful city.

Beside the Porno Stars, Skank & Spider from Birmingham in the UK came to visit and to rock! From Greece its been among 100 writers of the finest and most active on the scene.
