Spase Tous Deiktes (Greek: Σπάσε Τους Δείκτες, English: Break the Hands of Time) is the 20th studio album of Greek singer Katy Garbi, released on 20 December 2017 by Panik Platinum of Panik Records.
This is Garbi's first album release by Greek music label Panik Records established in 2011. It marks the Greek singer's continuation of the Laika/Pop genre since previous platinum release Perierges Meres four years prior. The album also reintroduces Garbi to the Dance genre since 2006, comprising two dance tracks 'Kardia Alitissa' and 'Kaneis San Esena'.[1]
The album is produced by Leonidas Tzitzos, who worked with Garbi on 9 tracks from previous album 'Perierges Meres'. Composing credits include new and past collaborators including Giorgos Sabanis, Ilias Kampakis, Thanos Giorgoulas, Dimitris Kontopoulos and Kostas Miliotakis.
The release of the album coincided with Garbi's live performances at Stage, Thessaloniki and Iera Odos, Athens alongside Vasilis Karras and Christos Menidiatis. The album also featured two tracks penned by Karras, one of which was recorded as a duet between the two called 'Oute Leksi'.[2]
