SELİN + LALALAR . #IE24

Selin . Multi-Lingual Fusion, Global Sound

Turkish pop star Selin hails from Istanbul but lives in London. In her unique way, she blends Turkish and English in her songs, showcasing the rich diversity of both languages and the cultural influences that shape her life. With over 1.5 million monthly listeners on Spotify and recent features in Vogue and Elle Türkiye, she presents a new album filled with ‘Turkish Spice.’

What began with dance tracks for well-known artists like Mahmut Orhan and Trafoier led to Selin's official debut with Warner Music in 2021, with the sleek synth track “Gidip Gel.” The follow-up single, “Cool,” received praise from Rolling Stone, Clash, and Ones to Watch. Having performed on prominent stages in both the UK and Turkey, she has proven herself as a live performer as well. Definitely one to watch!"

Lalalar . Anatolian Beats for the Modern Mind

Istanbul is bursting with energy. From its vibrant streets emerged Lalalar, blending Anatolian funk with fresh psychedelia. Their sound immerses you in a futuristic nostalgia, where retro-cinematic basslines merge with raw electro beats, fragmented vocals, playful guitars, and carefully unearthed samples from Anatolia's rich musical heritage.

Since 2019, these three sonic innovators have been creating music that makes you both dance and think—whether you're in a crowd or lost in your own thoughts. With 10 singles already under their belt, their debut album ‘Bi Cinnete Bakar’ was released in 2022, quickly followed by ‘En Kötü İyi Olur’ in 2023. A concert to completely lose yourself in.
