On Saturday 26 July, Istanbul’s Volkswagen Arena will host an electrifying night of techno as Klangkuenstler brings his signature event series LINEAR to the city for the very first time. Organized by Jeton Records, the evening promises a full-scale audiovisual experience led by one of Europe’s most in-demand names in hard techno. Supporting the Berlin-based headliner are two of Turkey’s most respected figures in electronic music, Ferhat Albayrak, founder of Jeton, and Ece Özel, known for her genre-blending and emotionally charged sets. Together, they will deliver a high-octane journey through sound, energy, and atmosphere in one of Istanbul’s top venues. Tickets available via BUGECE.
Klangkuenstler has become a central force in today’s global techno movement, captivating massive crowds with his raw, relentless sound and intense, fast-paced sets. With a musical ethos rooted in 90s rave culture and industrial techno, he has built a loyal following across the world’s biggest stages, including appearances at Awakenings, Time Warp, and Bassiani.
His LINEAR concept distills this energy into tightly curated nights that balance punishing beats with immersive lighting and a distinct visual identity—hallmarks that Istanbul’s fans will finally get to experience live.
Ferhat Albayrak, a pioneering name in the Turkish techno scene and founder of Jeton Records, brings decades of experience and a powerful, groove-driven style to the night. Known for putting Turkish techno on the global map, Albayrak’s set will offer the perfect bridge between local roots and the event’s international edge.
Opening the evening is Ece Özel, a beloved figure in Istanbul’s underground scene, celebrated for her eclectic sets that traverse post-punk, techno, and breaks with fearless creativity.
With a lineup that speaks directly to both dedicated ravers and curious newcomers, LINEAR Istanbul promises to be one of the standout electronic events of the summer. From the pounding rhythms of Klangkuenstler to the rich sonic textures of its local talents, the night will offer an uncompromising and unforgettable trip into the heart of modern techno.
