Chickn is a rock band formed during the Christmas holidays of 2012 in Athens, Greece. It’s a shape that evolves in time, occupying its necessary vital and expressive space while denying any prediction. It’s a game, or at least it always starts as a game. The main pillars of Chickn’s music are improvisation, as well as their tendency to embrace the unexpected. They have developed a large body of artists that they work with and as a result their liquid line-up gets temporarily solidified by their current expressive needs. Their self-titled debut album, released in October 2016, received praising reviews in Greece and abroad and the first pressing sold out within a month.

At the beginning of the 2000s, a new wave of music spilled into the cocktail bars and lounge music was born. The band DePhazz quickly became the insider tip darling of television and radio editors, who liked to put the band's retro-electronic sounds on heavy rotation among their lifestyle and news reports and thus enveloped the entire nation in an aesthetic carpet of sound. Through numerous samplers such as "Buddha Bar" or "Cafe del Mar", songs like The Mambo Craze reached the whole world.
