Disko No Disko received an offer we could not refuse: playing a gig in Mitte Karakoy, Istanbul. The concept: music for charity.
One Night in Istanbul: Disko No Disko x Mitte Karakoy

November 2019


Disko No Disko Goes International!

What is Disko No Disko? We are a DJ crew from Berlin – covering styles from wedding/prom music to melodic techno and everything in between. 💃

We organize parties and donate the proceeds to charities (e.g. Lilipad; Maasai Duka).

Below a couple of impressions from our gig in Turkey. 🇹🇷🤘💃


Arrival

First thing in Istanbul: one of our crew forgot his passport in the cab.

It was Saturday, we had 3 hours until opening the night, and our return flight was the next morning. No chance of getting a replacement passport since the consulates are closed on weekends.

Calls, sweat, and tears.

After an hour of uncertainty the cab driver called and said he found the passport and could stop by in 30 minutes. 🎉

We celebrated in style and ordered the cheapest cold beer money could buy. 🍺

Getting Ready


Showtime: Mitte Karakoy

Mitte Karakoy has featured artists such as Be Svendsen, Oliver Huntemann, Bob Moses to name a few... no pressure. 😶

Radical performance.
