Resident of New York's Deep Space, Creator of Body & Soul and the owner of the wave music François Kevorkian will be spinning in Istanbul on Friday, May 26, 2006. Tickets can be purchased from Biletix
The French-born NYC resident can be considered one of Larry Levan's disciples and therefore one of the forefathers of house music. If you are into house music and even for a little period of time you turned your face to New York City, checking out what's hot and what's not in the scene, you probably know mr Kevorkian since he permanently stamped his name on House Music history.
Probably it will be in vain talking about his long biography and prelude records, paradise garage, Violator remixes for Depeche Mode, His Tour mate larry Levan and so on, instead I'd like to focus on what he's doing right now for his new weekly Monday night event in New York City called Deep Space which really interesting. Bad news for house lovers but His career as an artist did not stop evolving, as he rekindled his interest for a more electronic sound, and the release of his Sonar Music set in 2002 marked a turning point; he started playing a much edgier and futuristic style, with more to do with Techno and Dub than the House sound he was mostly identified with as a DJ until that time. it was such a turning point that he also started touring along with Detroit Techno legend Derrick May, playing sets together as the 'Cosmic Twins'. His recent appearances at Berlin's Tresor, Manchester's Sankey's Soap and London's Fabric have helped gain him many younger fans that may not have been aware of his previous work.
In these days kevorkian focuses on Dub in all of its forms, and where the format is extremely eclectic, ranging from spaced-out Techno to the deepest Reggae, Hip-Hop as well as Drum& Bass, House and Disco.
