Psychedelic Music Explosion
Our community asked us when we’ll return to the saz and bağlama at the Psychedelic Music Explosion, so we have asked our friend, virtuoso, and modern-day Aşık Cem Yıldız to join us at the Jazz Club Moods. He will take us on a journey with his shamanic acid techno improvisations filled with Anatolian mysticism, religious poetry, and ecstatic spacey electric saz progressions.

Cem Yıldız
Acknowledged as a modern-day Aşık, a troubadour, Cem has been relentlessly pushing the boundaries of modern Anatolian music, inspired by poets and folk musicians, such as Yunus Emre or Ali Ekber Çiçek. His idiosyncratic combination of shamanic folk acid, spiritual lyrics, and techno creates a hypnotic atmosphere on stage as well as on the dancefloor: this is where Cem is most passionately improvising with his beloved electric bağlama.
His characteristic sound is deeply embedded in club bangers, such as Stil and Ejma with Acid Arab, and in his earlier works with Orient Expressions and İnsanlar.
Cem toured in Europe and performed, amongst others, at the Montreux Jazz Festival, Sonar in Barcelona, Dekmantel in Amsterdam, or Kilbi.
Dj Bey
A unique musical feast for our ears, this is wat Dj Bey aka Emrah Göktaş promises with his eclectic dj sets. Dj Bey unearths the hidden treasures and back alleys of his country's artistic heritage.
