Chill-out Festival Istanbul 2014
The organisers call it the happiest Sunday of the year. However, how would Pharrell Williams describe Chill-out Festival Istanbul’s eight edition? Let’s have a try:
It might seem crazy what I’m about to say
Sunshine she’s here, you can take a break
I’m a hot air balloon that could go to space
With the air, like I don’t care baby by the way
Because I’m happy
Clap along if you feel the music of Ethio-Jazz pioneer Mulatu Astatke
Because I’m happy
Clap along if you liked Techno ensemble Brandt Brauer Frick’s DJ Kicks compilation
Because I’m happy
Clap along if you cannot stop listening to Canadian grown New York duo Bob Moses
Because I’m happy
Clap along if you danced to Mario Basanov a.k.a. Ten Wall’s summer 2013 hit “Gotham”
Yeah, well I should probably warn you, I will be just fine
Yeah, no offense to you don’t waste your time
Here’s why:
Because I’m happyy
Clap along if you feel Kadebostan’s fusion of Electronic and Pop
Because I’m happy
Clap along if you like to dance to psychedelic Turkish Cosmic Disco by Baris K.
Because I’m happy
Clap along if you feel we need more diverse artists like Ahu
Happy, come on, bring me down
My love for music is too high to bring me down.
Check Chill-out Festival Istanbul 2014 at 25 May 2014 in Sariyer Life Park.
