Altin Gün

Altın Gün offer an exciting mix of Turkish folk, psychedelia, funk and rock. After performing in Istanbul, bassist Jasper Verhulst became fascinated by the Turkish sound of the 70s. At that time, artists like Selda, Barış Manço and Erkin Koray combined traditional music with western rock influences. Along with bandmates Ben Rider (guitar) and the bands' first drummer, Nic Mauskovic (drums), Verhulst searched for Turkish musicians to revive this sound. They found Merve Dasdemir (vocals) and Erdinc Yildiz Ecevit (vocals, saz, keys) through Facebook. Jungle by Night’s energetic percussionist Gino Groeneveld joined the group and the band was complete. Since 2018, drummer Daniel Smienk joined the band.

Altın Gün play songs from the aforementioned artists from the 70’s and their lesser-known contemporaries and also make their own arrangements of Turkish traditionals. This way different worlds meet and form a refreshing danceable sound. 

Flagey, Listen ! Festival

Originally from Liège but now firmly planted in our lively Brussels scene, Céline Gillain’s work is a mix of of feminist sci-fi, dark humour and storytelling. The result is undoubtedly pop, but with a twist and a very elegant way of tackling societal issues.
