About Midnight Poetry
Midnight Poetry is a Greek dark electro/post-punk duo formed around Cleopatra Kaido and John Spanos. The first release was the single “Black Hole”, issued on March 25, 2024.
Before starting this project, Cleopatra Kaido released “Artificial Galaxy” in 2013 with Drama Queen and “System Anomaly” in 2020 with Meat Injection. John Spanos had already released five albums and appeared in goa/psychedelic trance compilation releases with Radical Distortion, alongside solo work in ambient, chill-out and future-garage material.
The band was also selected to appear on “Resurgence”, a massive 7CD post-punk boxset with the track “Black Hole”.
“Dive into the Darkness” is the duo’s first album. It follows “Black Hole” and “Dracula’s Poison”.
Chief editor of Side-Line – which basically means I spend my days wading through a relentless flood of press releases from labels, artists, DJs, and zealous correspondents. My job? Strip out the promo nonsense, verify what’s actually real, and decide which stories make the cut and which get tossed into the digital void. Outside the news filter bubble, I’m all in for quality sushi and helping raise funds for Ukraine’s ongoing fight against the modern-day axis of evil. Besides music I’m also an SEO and AI content flow specialist and have an interest in everything finance from stocks to crypto. There is music in everything!
Since you’re here …
… we have a small favour to ask. More people are reading Side-Line Magazine than ever but advertising revenues across the media are falling fast. Unlike many news organisations, we haven’t put up a paywall – we want to keep our journalism as open as we can - and we refuse to add annoying advertising. So you can see why we need to ask for your help.
Side-Line’s independent journalism takes a lot of time, money and hard work to produce. But we do it because we want to push the artists we like and who are equally fighting to survive.
If everyone who reads our reporting, who likes it, helps fund it, our future would be much more secure. For as little as 5 US$, you can support Side-Line Magazine – and it only takes a minute. Thank you.
