Now that the Volcanic dust is behaving itself, it’s time to start thinking about foreign climes and this one looks like one of the best going with Gilles Peterson, Norman Jay, Jamie Lidell, Phil Asher, Rainer Truby and lots more…
What with Peterson and Jay teaming up again after their recent jam with Louie Vega at the Anan?©sworld Album Launch Party last month (see full review HERE) and if you happened to see the recent coverage on Eurosport of the Tour of Turkey along the Mediterranean coast, you’ll be thinking “that would be a great trip to see them and Jamie Lidell, Phil Asher, Rainer Truby and lots more”.
It can’t be far off the ultimate luxury holiday for music lovers? A week at a fantastic design hotel on the Turkish Med promising the best club music in the world!
