Inside Istanbul's Thriving Electronic Music Scene | Presented by The Moment &

🇹🇷 Delve into the heart of Türkiye’s thriving electronic music scene, and join us on a journey through Istanbul’s vibrant music landscape - “The Moment Mix Istanbul” shines a light on the Beyoğlu district, a hub of creativity and cultural fusion.

Through the eyes of local artists and music industry leaders, including Jeton Records founder Ferhat Albayrak, pioneers of local radio station NOH Radio, and our Moment Mix headliner & techno legend Lilly Palmer, we rediscover the importance of music, and how this historic area has nurtured a high-spirited community that champions freedom of expression and unity, both on the streets, and on the dance floor.

This is just the beginning of our journey. Join us as we continue to explore underrepresented and thriving local music scenes across the globe, shining a light on music that you didn’t know existed. Next stop in our docu-series: Almaty, Kazakhstan! Subscribe now and don’t miss out.
