Active Member is a pioneering Greek hip-hop group that has been actively shaping the soundscape of Greek urban music since its formation in the early 1990s. Founded by rapper and producer Michalis Mitakidis (a.k.a. B.D. Foxmoor) in Perama, Piraeus, the group initially started as a quartet but eventually settled with B.D. Foxmoor and DJ MCD (Michalis Mytakidis) at its core. Over the years, Active Member has come to be not just a band but a symbol of the low bap genre, a term coined by Foxmoor himself to describe the band's unique sound, which combines introspective lyrics and social commentary with deep beats.

Active Member has consistently released music that reflects their ideological standpoint and commitment to social issues. Their extensive discography communicates messages about politics, personal struggles, and societal norms, refusing to conform to commercial trends. One of their key thematic series in recent releases is showcased in "8 ΚΛΕΙΔΙΑ" (8 KEYS) which involves several parts, including "ΗΛΥΓΗ (ΣΚΙΑ)" and "ΜΕΣΑΥΛΙ," leading listeners through a conceptual musical journey. Each installment of the series can be thought of as a musical chapter that contributes to the overarching narrative, inviting listeners to delve deep into the group's artistic and ideological universe. Active Member’s enduring influence is evident as they remain a vital voice in Greek music, decades after their initial emergence on the hip-hop scene.
