Popkomm 2008 “Berlin-Istanbul Alternative Electro Night“
With the title „DJ POPKOMM - Berlin Istanbul Alternatively Electro Night“, presented Popkomm together with the Club Commission on the 11th of October the Berlin club night.
The programm in Maschinenhaus of the Kulturbrauerei traded in this evening under „Berlin Istanbul Alternatively Electro Night“. No less than the DJ Ipek Ipekcioglu very popular in the Berlin club scene has decisively helped in the choice line-ups. Thus stood with “Norrda” and “Gevende” two outstanding bands from Istanbul on the stage.
Beyond the musical mainstream scene in Turkey which exists predominantly of pop, rock and folk music the more and more sprouting and for Istanbul had to do very stamping, musical Underground scene to point.
Beside these both live bands, have been a part Berlin DJ’s duet Electric Migration, Ipek Ipekcioglu and VJ Soner Ipekcioglu. www.popkomm.de
