- Description: In the Machine drops, and it is a full-on rocker, Irene's playing is magnificent, and the song is a keeper. Hoping a new album releases soon!

My morning journeys of Youtube, plumbing the depths looking for great artists, great performances, and just kick-ass tunes has brought me many gems (and it has led me to subscribing to a lot of great artists.)

One of them, Irene Ketikidi, a Greek guitarist who has an in-your-face vibe, tons of chops, and a killer sense of taste as she dishes out track after track of certified rockers.

Here’s the first blush:

[Pleasant surprisesYesterday’s post imploring dudes to be better led me to find a couple of exemplars to share on the problem.![](https://storage.ghost.io/c/11/f5/11f5bb9f-30c4-445e-afa3-85a47d260f6e/content/images/2025/07/6a06ca87-c22e-4b20-85e1-f3150eafc78f_1024x1024-9.png)Sweaty SpiceGeoff Anderson![](https://storage.ghost.io/c/11/f5/11f5bb9f-30c4-445e-afa3-85a47d260f6e/content/images/2025/07/bac8effb-f6fa-469c-84c3-fe90bc247097_1200x1200-jpeg.jpg)](https://www.sweatyspice.com/p/pleasant-surprises)

Anyhow, imagine my surprise when I browse YT, and I see something new from Ms. Ketikidi, and hoo-boy, is it smokin’

If you are struggling to get in the groove, In The Machine will get the pulse racing, with the solid song structure, and a quite awesome production of the accompanying video. Do give it a listen and let me know what you think!

I am beginning to think there might be something in the water in Greece. Gus G hails from the nation with his ripping band Firewind, and Ms. Ketikidi as well. Must be something in the water there.
