All Night Jazz: Jitwam (DJ Set), Grup Ses (DJ Set)
The 35th Akbank Jazz Festival returns to Frankhan for another night full of jazz infused sounds and dance, where the tempo will stay high all night long.
Jitwam (DJ Set)
India-born, Australia-raised multi-instrumentalist Jitwam has cemented his place in the lineage of great composers who merge global sounds with modern production techniques. Known for his signature blend of some of the warmest hip hop, R&B, house, jazz and soul infused psychedelia, Jitwam released his latest album, Third, on Roya / Warp Records in July 2022. Having shared the stage with artists such as Yussef Dayes and Hiatus Kaiyote, he is currently working on a trilogy of EPs that brings him together with friends and peers including Rimarkable, Nikki Nair and p-arallel. As one of the standout figures of the contemporary neo-soul movement, Jitwam will take the stage with his DJ set at the 35th Akbank Jazz Festival.
Grup Ses (DJ Set)
Active since 2008, Grup Ses has so far released six albums in vinyl format, showcasing his distinctive cut-and-paste style. He has contributed to a number of reissue projects, and performed at festivals such as Le Guess Who? and Distortion. Spinning a selection of records from his personal archive, Grup Ses will take listeners on a 1.5-hour journey through genres like jazz, funk, krautrock, psychedelia, and post-punk.
Jitwam and Grup Ses will bring their DJ sets to Frankhan on October 3, as part of the 35th Akbank Jazz Festival.
