%100 Müzik Sunar: Kae Tempest at Turkcell Stage on November 22!

Mercury and BRIT-nominated poet, musician, and writer Kae Tempest is one of the most original voices of our time, creating across literature, theatre, and music without boundaries. Their journey, which began at the age of 16 on the streets and open mic nights, has since grown into international acclaim with the Ted Hughes Award-winning Brand New Ancients, the best-selling novel The Bricks That Built The Houses, and albums produced by Rick Rubin. From Glastonbury to the National Theatre, Tempest’s stage presence has always been defined by the courage to tell their truth.

Born and raised in Lewisham, London, Kae returns to the stage with their fifth studio album, Self Titled. What began spontaneously with Grammy Award-winning producer Fraser T Smith evolved into a dialogue between Tempest’s past, present, and future selves, turning into a story that is deeply personal yet profoundly collective. The album features the epic James Bond-inspired opener “I Stand On The Line”, the high-energy “Statue In The Square” that nods to their MC roots, “Breathe” co-produced with Young Fathers, and “Bless The Bold Future” featuring the soulful Tawiah. Standout moments also include “Diagnoses”, a striking exploration of neurodiversity, “Hyperdistillation” which opens with a Carl Jung sample, and two surprise guest collaborations.

With words, music, and performance that leave a lasting mark, Kae Tempest takes the stage with their new album Self Titled, on November 22 at Zorlu PAC with the contribution of %100 Müzik. Step into the universe of this unmissable performance!

%100 Music Presents: Weval at %100 Studio on December 6! Amsterdam-based electronic duo Weval, made up of Harm Coolen and Merijn Scholte Albers, has been globally recognized since their 2013 debut for their emotionally rich, multi-layered productions that blend analog warmth with forward-thinking sound design. With roots in film and a cinematic approach to storytelling, their music exists in a space between introspective electronica, psychedelic pop, and atmospheric dance music. On their fourth album Chorophobia, the duo leans into what once held them back—dance music—while continuing to carve out their unique sound outside the mainstream club scene for over a decade. Known for their immersive live performances, Weval has played major festivals across Europe and the US, including Primavera, Pukkelpop, Lightning in a Bottle, Lowlands, and DGTL Amsterdam. In their hometown, they’ve sold out iconic venues like Paradiso and the Royal Concertgebouw. Refusing to be confined to a single genre, Weval keeps evolving—and they’re bringing their one-of-a-kind performance to the stage on December 6!

One of the iconic names of modern techno, DJ and producer Marcel Dettmann will be at %100 Studio on December 19, with the support of %100 Müzik!

Closely associated with Berlin’s legendary venues Berghain and Hard Wax, Dettmann began his musical journey in a small town in former East Germany. Inspired by acts like Depeche Mode, The Cure, and Front 242, he developed a deep passion for electronic music at an early age. Today, through his labels MDR and Bad Manners, he continues to push the boundaries of techno while creating space for emerging talent.

A defining figure of Berlin and the Berghain scene, Dettmann has made a significant impact on the world of electronic music with two albums released under Ostgut Ton, along with countless singles and remixes. His collaborations with artists from diverse genres — such as Junior Boys, Fever Ray, and Moderat — showcase his versatility.

Beyond the club scene, Dettmann has made a name for himself through interdisciplinary projects. He has created sound designs for contemporary dance performances with the Staatsballett Berlin and for an exhibition by photographer Frederike von Rauch.

As one of Berghain’s leading resident DJs, Marcel Dettmann blends minimal and hard-hitting sounds with emotional and unexpected moments in his sets. Masterfully fusing techno and Chicago beats for over 25 years, he is set to deliver an unforgettable night at Zorlu PSM %100 Studio on December 19!
