With over a decade of powerful live performance experience across stages from Paris to London, Berlin to Zagreb and Monaco, Echoes Of stands out as one of the most respected collectives on the European funk scene.

The group is widely known for its original and highly popular tribute projects dedicated to the American funk heritage of the 1970s and 1980s: Echoes Of Atlanta, Chicago, Detroit, Dayton, Los Angeles, Miami, Philadelphia, and Washington. The pinnacle of these projects is “Funk & The City,” a residency that sells out every month at Paris’s legendary jazz club New Morning, and has become one of the band’s signature events.

Echoes Of also performs regularly at some of Europe’s most prestigious venues and events, including South London Soul Train Parties (Bussey Building, Omeara, Lafayette), Berlin Heideglühen, Zagreb Peti Kupe, and Monaco.

In addition, since 2019, the group has drawn major attention with its highly acclaimed Echoes Of Prince special tribute show. Echoes Of has also become an indispensable backing band for artists such as Howard Johnson, Junior Giscombe, and most recently Kyoto Jazz Massive. Together with Kyoto Jazz Massive, they tour and record under the name Echoes Of A New Dawn Orchestra.

Recently, Echoes Of has been focusing on their original music with a new project called Jéroboam. This powerful 12-member ensemble delivers the finest contemporary disco funk and rare groove, with releases on respected labels such as Space Grapes, Chuwanaga, and Favorite Recordings, carrying the spirit of legendary 70s and 80s funk bands into the present day.

Hailed as one of the most exciting funk projects of the last three years, Jéroboam promises a live experience that is both nostalgic and completely fresh.

The Ankara Echoes music collective, led by Mertkan Erkan, continues to make waves with its growing fan base and strong impact in a short time. Known for their powerful stage presence, intimate connection with the audience, and the unique atmosphere they create during live performances, the collective will meet listeners at Zorlu PSM on April 18, following Echoes of Prince.

Blending the rock spirit of the 1970s with today’s urban sound, Ankara Echoes goes beyond music at every concert, promising an unforgettable experience from start to finish. Sing-along crowds, performances that linger in conversations long after the show, and a steadily growing loyal audience define the collective, as they prepare to deliver a memorable night within the scope of PSM Loves2Gather.

Don’t miss this special night where rhythm, energy, and collective spirit come together on stage.

Garanti BBVA Genç Konserleri: Girls in Airports & Selût will take place on April 24 at %100 Studio, as part of PSM Loves2Gather!

Originating from Denmark and known for their immersive and transformative live performances, Girls in Airports is an original music collective whose instrumental sound moves freely between jazz, ambient, and folk traditions, while never fully belonging to any single genre. This distinctive sound is rooted in a long-standing collective production practice centered on curiosity, cultural openness, and the patient craft of making music together.

At the heart of the band lies a striking instrumentation: vintage keyboards, saxophone, and a rich palette of percussion inspired by rhythms from around the world. The warm, distinctive tone of Mathias Holm’s Wurlitzer, shaped through analog pedals, combines with Victor Dybbroe’s dynamic approach woven from global rhythms and textures, forming the living foundation of the music. Above this base, Martin Stender’s saxophone and compositions offer a spiritual narrative—at times calm and spacious, at other times energetic and open to improvisation.

Over more than a decade of touring across Europe and Asia, Girls in Airports has developed a rare language of collective creativity based on the bond within the group and their connection with the audience. Their concerts often feel less like a performance and more like a journey, inviting listeners to stay present and be drawn deeply into the music.

Recent collaborations include the Kvæði project with Teitur, in which they radically reinterpret traditional folk songs from the Faroe Islands, as well as a large-scale orchestral work with the Aarhus Jazz Orchestra. Their latest album, Imaginal, recorded in close collaboration with string trio Halvcirkel, further expands the band’s sonic universe and promises a unique and profound live experience.

Multidisciplinary artist Selût, who produces both music and visual illustrations, stands out with experimental stage designs that integrate her own visual world into her work. Blending ambient, acoustic, jazz, and world music with powerful vocals, Selût creates performances that exist at the intersection of sound and image.

On April 24, Selût will take the stage at %100 Studio ahead of Girls in Airports, featuring hologram and live tracking technologies. Having previously pushed the boundaries of her stage practice with a full-body live tracking performance at Zorlu PSM’s MIX Festival, the artist continues her production based in London while regularly traveling to Istanbul for projects and performances. Selût’s stage is shaped by a creative team composed predominantly of strong women, spanning the process from production to live performance.

Garanti BBVA Genç Konserleri: The Roop & Nova Norda as part of PSM Loves2Gather, at %100 Studio on May 2!

Rising stars of the Lithuanian pop scene, THE ROOP reshape mainstream pop in unexpected ways. Blending catchy dance-pop melodies with emotional depth and a strong visual identity, the band has quickly become one of the most exciting names in European pop thanks to their layered, modern sound. With numerous awards and a rapidly growing international fan base, THE ROOP are also known for their highly impressive, energetic, and big-stage-ready live performances. Most recently, they once again proved their power by opening for Ed Sheeran’s 2024 stadium tour.

THE ROOP made their international breakthrough with “On Fire,” one of the favorites of Eurovision 2020, dominating charts and alternative competitions across Europe. Returning to the contest in 2021 with “Discoteque,” the band placed 8th in the grand final, bringing their distinctive, genre-blending pop approach to an even wider global audience.

Entering a new era with their 2025 album Momentum, THE ROOP present a more mature and deeper sound. The lead single “Steal Me” stands out with its sleek synth-pop lines and romantic tension, while “Chica Chico” transforms into a joyful celebration filled with Spanish rhythms. The third single, “Just Think About It,” offers a darker, more introspective narrative that explores the struggle to remain human in the digital age.

With their powerful visuals, contemporary pop vision, and magnetic stage energy, THE ROOP continue to push the boundaries of pop music without ever losing the rhythm. This special performance at %100 Studio invites the audience to both dance and embark on an emotional journey.

Opening the night on May 2, Nova Norda, the sincere voice of alternative pop, will transform personal stories of transformation into a collective live experience before The Roop takes the stage. In a performance where vulnerability turns into strength and every word grows larger as it merges with the audience, beloved songs such as “Varım,” “Dinozorlar,” and “Beteri Yok Uslanmaktan” will turn the crowd into a single voice. On Nova’s energetic stage, let go of all your burdens and enjoy the freedom of dancing without restraint.

Garanti BBVA Genç Konserleri: Silvana Estrada – Vendrán Suaves Lluvias & Gülinler As part of PSM Loves2Gather, at %100 Studio on May 15!

Touching the hearts of listeners around the world, Silvana Estrada transforms themes of personal loss, healing, and rebirth into a deeply immersive musical journey with her new album Vendrán Suaves Lluvias. Following her critically acclaimed 2022 release Marchita, which earned her the Latin Grammy Award for Best New Artist, Estrada created this album during a period marked by profound losses and inner fractures after intense touring and major success.

Taking its name from a poetic line meaning “Soft Rains Will Come,” the album enriches its indie-folk foundation with touches of jazz, tropicália, minimalist classical music, and Latin influences. Fully self-produced by Estrada, the album creates a safe and intimate space for the listener through songs that move between anger, grief, vulnerability, and hope. Recorded with longtime collaborators as well as Oscar-nominated composer Owen Pallett and a select group of Montreal-based musicians, the album carries both emotional and cinematic depth.

With Silvana Estrada’s unique vocals and poetic songwriting, Vendrán Suaves Lluvias offers an elegant yet powerful narrative—one that passes through loss but ultimately ends in hope. This special work invites listeners to slow down, feel deeply, and reconnect with the healing power of music.

Following Silvana Estrada’s performance at %100 Studio on May 15, Gülinler will take the stage. For nearly fifteen years, Gülinler has continued to compose, perform concerts, and tour with Büyük Ev Ablukada. During the same period, she also co-founded the short-lived duo heranherşeyolabilir, and has appeared as one of the “angel” backing vocalists on two albums by Ari Barokas.

Don’t miss the performance of this multifaceted artist, who composes music, sings, and dances in various theater productions.
