About
Kornelia Binicewicz is a Polish record collector, dj, and a cultural anthropologist. In 2015, she moved to Istanbul to explore female music from Turkey and the Middle East. She travels the world in search of mesmerizing music and meaningful stories to tell.
The founder of Ladies on Records, Kornelia curates a multifaceted endeavor to represent women's contribution to global and local music of the past decades. Ladies on Records tells the stories of women through the music they created.
Kornelia is actively involved in multimedia music projects and exhibitions, podcasts, and mixtapes for music festivals and radio stations (Radio Meuh, Radio Nova, Paranoise Radio). She assists in curating music festivals and writes liner notes and essays for culture magazines.
Her sets are packed with obscure dance floor bangers from all around the world, Turkish and Middle-Eastern rarities, and novelties from the global groove genre. Derived from organic music of the 70s, jazz, and global genres, her eclectic selection brings rich worlds in every meaning of the word to the dance floor.
Dropping knowledge and club bangers, we’re excited she joins our co-founder Anıl Özdemir for a fun talk, before she takes over the Dj decks for the afterparty.
Before the concert kicks-off, you can join us, that is Kornelia Binicewicz, Anıl Özdemir, and special guests for an informal talk about music, melancholy, (be)longing, and love.
Our guests are invited to eat Meze, drink Rakı, and join us for the talk.
Seats at the main table will be limited (you will still be able to drink and eat around the main table). Please reserve your sets in advance (CHF 25 for Meze).
