Istanbul has a lively cultural life, and it would be a shame to miss out on this summer´s pleasant surprises, especially for music lovers. In the coming months there will be concerts by Massive Attack (13 July), Faithless (July 17), The Cranberries (July 22), U2 (6 September) and the rust-proof heavy metal legend Ozzy Osbourne (30 September).
This year, travelers to Istanbul will also have an opportunity to see one of the Deities of the Trance world, the Dutch DJ Armin van Buuren, who will spin 16 July in the Maçka Küçükçiftlik Park. Van Buuren has been voted best DJ in the world for 3 years running by readers of DJ Magazine, beating the equally famous and well known Tiësto and Paul Van Dyk. In 2008 also was voted as the best trance artist under the Beatport Music Awards and in March 2010 Armin was awarded the Gouden Harp, the highest recognition that musical artists in the Netherlands can win.
Van Buuren began his DJ sessions in 1995 in Nexus club, while he was still in high school. Then he started with his studies in law school, but never lost his passion for music. Since the beginning, he has had his own production studio, and has always combined his dj work with being a producer. Just a few of his hits: “Touch me”, “Communication”, “The Sound of Goodbye”, “Walhalla” …
Armin van Buuren has had a golden career. He has spun in clubs around the world, and was resident dj with Godskithchen of Ibiza, as well as having a popular radio broadcast, “A State of Trance” with millions of fans around the world (it is broadcast in 40 countries and obviously also online.)
It is clear that the event in Istanbul is a must see date for all lovers of trance music, and a great chance to spend time in a magical city to visit. For the best accommodation choose apartments in Istanbul.
