Tuesday, July 8th, 2008
At this years Amsterdam Roots Festival we recorded the concerts of Orient Expressions, who were accompanied by Turkish singer Aylin Aslim, and the renowned Amsterdam Klezmer band. Recently the entire video recording has been archived on our website.   

Right now the Orient Expressions concert and the Amsterdam Klezmer band are in one video. The Amsterdam Klezmer band will soon get it’s own page. Until that time, just skip to track nine. That’s where the Amsterdam Klezmer band starts.
   

  About Orient Expressions
Orient Expressions is a project from Istanbul, Turkey. The band is a collaboration between Dj Yakuza, Cem Yldz and Richard Hamer. The three combine electronic music with Turkish folk music with jazzy vibes and traditional percussion rhythms.   

At this show, Orient Expressions will be performing with Turkish singer and fellow citizen Aylin Aslim. Aylin was born in a village called Lich in Germany and decided later on to move to Turkey. There she started her musical career releasing her techno-pop album ‘Gelgit’. After this, she switched to pop/rock music.

Get in the mood with our Lowlands Fabplayer!

Tuesday, June 24th, 2008
The sky is blue, the temperature is high and the grass is green. That can mean only one thing… Festival season is here!

The first festivals already took place weeks ago, like Rock Am Ring and Pinkpop. And a lot of great ones are planned. Rock Werchter, Glastonbury, Sziget and of course Lowlands are coming up.

Lowlands is one of the hottest festivals here in Holland, with the most interesting acts and new talents. Most of us here at Fabchannel have been there and/or are going there. A lot of artists that are coming to Lowlands this summer have also played in front of our camera’s. To get in the Lowlands mood we’ve created ourselves a fabplayer with all Fabchannel artists who perform during this year’s Lowlands festival. Of course we are kind enough to share it with you.
