It all started in Athens, in 1993. Crooner and Makis P. (members of then Greek indie bands One Night Suzan & Next Time Passions respectively) joined forces with a graphic designer and set up This Happy Feeling, the first ever greek indie pop label. This Happy Feeling released 4 singles, plus some in collaboration with other labels.
By 1996, This Happy Feeling was no more operating as a label, but Crooner & Makis P. kept the initials ( THF ) as the name of their production team. They worked together under the name The Crooner, releasing 2 albums in the USA, Japan and Greece. Their warm electronic bossa-pop sound made its way into internatonal compilations as well, by labels such as Bungalow & L? Apareil-Photo
Now Makis P. & Crooner were already exploring more electronic areas under their new name : Hyplar. Ranging from chill out & lounge to house & electro...
