Astyplaz is a neologism.|It is composed of the word ‘asty’ which in Ancient Greek means city and the French word ‘plage’ meaning beach. With this neologism, more or less a poetical metaphor of beach culture to the city is achieved (city beach).
Astyplaz is an Athens based 4 piece electronica/synth pop outfit.
