Three bands to be featured at Ghostly International Night


The international record company Ghostly will be in Istanbul on Feb. 25. As a part of Ghostly International Night, Shigeto, Heathered Pearls and Lord Raja will perform at Babylon. Founded by Detroit-based drummer Zack Saginaw, Shigeto is the result of Saginaw's interaction with techno music in London. Shigeto, who released a studio album titled "Intermission" and was features in Dave Douglas' album "High Risk," blends hip-hop and funk with a basis in jazz. Heathered Pearls is a musical project by Brooklyn-based Polish artist Jakub Alexander. Its first studio album, "Loyal," was released in 2012. With its new album, "Body Complex," which was released earlier this year, Heathered Pearls promises more energetic techno music. The New Yorker artist Chester Raj Anand took the name "Lord Raja" after signing an album deal with Ghostly International in 2014 and released his first LP, "A Constant Moth." Lord Raja strengthens his hip-hop rhythms with ambient, glitch and synth and has been one of the prominent musicians at Ghostly International. When: Feb. 25Where: Babylon, Istanbul
