This multi-nationality Anatolian rock outfit is fronted by Turkish vocalist and musician Derya Yıldırım. With members from Germany, France, Great Britain and Italy, Derya Yıldırım & Grup Şimşek offers a metropolitan take on Turkish psych rock traditionals, as well as performing original compositions that pick up where heroes like Özdemir Erdoğan and Aşık Mahzuni Serif left off.

On stage, the band perform as a spirited, tight and groovy unit, revelling in propellent take-offs and hypnotic melodies.

The DJ host of the evening is no one else but the Rotterdam based producer, dj and multi-instrumentalist Kems Kriol. He just released his Equanimity EP (Nous’klaer). Clone: “Beautiful downtempo excursions touching on Cape Verdean and Colombian styles with a contemporary electronic approach”. Kems describes his music as: “Gathering essential audio elements to achieve and project unity within the urban context”.
