ALTIN GÜN

If you're looking for the textbook definition of “fusion,” flip through the living almanac of bands and stop at the letter “A” — you’ll find Altın Gün. This Dutch-Turkish outfit has spent the last decade reinventing Anatolian rock with fearless energy and total creative freedom.

Their sound is a psychedelic whirlwind: thick, funky basslines, wah-wah-drenched guitars, and a groove that never lets go. Their latest album, Aşk (2023), reimagines traditional Turkish folk songs with a modern twist — a stripped-down, analog warmth that trades electronic flourishes for raw, cultural richness.

Get ready: on Sunday, September 14, their irresistible riffs will turn into a chorus sung in unison.
