Martyn
As part of the Dutch Delight events held for the 400th anniversary of the diplomatic relationships between Turkey and Netherlands, one of the prominent producers of the modern dance music world is getting ready to perform at Babylon on the 17th of May, Thursday. Martijn Deykers, the DJ and producer from Eindhoven -or as the electronic music world knows him, Martyn- is pointed out as one of the most original names coming out of Netherlands. Martyn started his career as a drum’n bass DJ but then came a point at which he was substantially impressed by the “Sine of the Dub” single of Kode9 that made him fall for the dubstep. He is known for combining house and dubstep adding also techno and jungle elements. Martyn, who has presented the new formula of dubstep to the world with his debut album “Great Lenghts” released in 2009, also has mixed Fabric Compilation in 2010.

He has played for many world renowned instrumentalists and is involved in all forms of chamber music. Helmut Deutsch is a frequent guest at the important music centers and festivals throughout the world and appears on many prize-winning recordings. Romanian pop singer Alexandra Stan's talent for music was discovered at an early age at the “Mamaia Festival” where she impressed the audience with her versatile voice.
In 2009 she released her debut single “Lollipop”, but it was the follow-up, “Mr. Saxobeat”, released in 2011, which really ignited her career; becoming Stan’s first number one single in her home country and entering the singles charts all over Europe. The song has also had huge success in Latin America.  Angelika Kirchschlager mezzo-soprano

Chamber Orchestra Kremlin, founded and led by Misha Rachlevsky, has earned national and international recognition as one of Russia's leading ensembles.
Founded in 1991, the orchestra, comprising some of Russia's finest young string players, has carved a niche for itself under the creative baton of its founder and music director Misha Rachlevsky. Whether it is the highly-acclaimed CDs or its mesmerizing concerts, Chamber Orchestra Kremlin's warmth and high energy create addictive performances that stay with listeners long after the last note has been played.
Misha Rachlevsky
Misha Rachlevsky’s lifetime affinity for chamber music and chamber orchestra repertoire began at the College of the Moscow Conservatory and the Gnessin Academy of Music. Born in Moscow, his violin studies began at the age of five and continued through the well-traveled path of the Russian school of string playing. After leaving the Soviet Union in 1973, he lived and worked in different countries on three continents, and in 1976 settled in the United States, becoming active in the field of chamber music.
Rachlevsky founded the New American Chamber Orchestra in 1984, and led it to international prominence, completing nine European tours in four years. In 1989, Rachlevsky accepted an offer from the city of Granada, Spain—a two-year project under which NACO became the resident orchestra of Granada while, concurrently, Rachlevsky founded and led Granada's own chamber orchestra.
In 1991, in the heady aftermath of Moscow's momentous events of August 1991, Misha Rachlevsky found it impossible to resist an opportunity presented by Claves to record Russian works for this label. When Claves concurred with his suggestion to realize the project with Russian musicians, Rachlevsky called auditions, and Chamber Orchestra Kremlin was created.  Widely regarded as one of the most brilliant songwriters of her generation, Suzanne Vega emerged as a leading figure of the folk-music revival of the early 1980s when, accompanying herself on acoustic guitar, she sang what has been labeled contemporary folk or neo-folk songs of her own creation in Greenwich Village clubs. Since the release of her self-titled, critically acclaimed 1985 debut album, she has given sold-out concerts in many of the world's best-known halls.
Born in Santa Monica, Suzanne studied dance at the High School for the Performing Arts. It was in 1979 when Suzanne attended a concert by Lou Reed and began to find her true artistic voice and distinctive vision for contemporary folk. Her self-titled debut album was released in 1985. 1987’s follow up, Solitude Standing, elevated her to star status. The album hit #2 in the UK and #11 in the States, was nominated for three Grammys including Record of the Year and went platinum. “Luka” is a song that has entered the cultural vernacular; certainly the only hit song ever written from the perspective of an abused boy.
Suzanne co-produced the follow-up album with Anton Sanko, 1990’s Days Of Open Hand, which won a Grammy for Best Album Package. The album’s sound instigated descriptions such as “industrial folk” and “technofolk.”. Suzanne’s neo-folk style has ushered in a new female, acoustic, folk-pop singer-songwriter movement that would include the likes of Tracy Chapman, Shawn Colvin, and Indigo Girls.
In 2007, Suzanne released Beauty & Crime on Blue Note Records, a deeply personal reflection of her native New York City in the wake of the loss of her brother Tim and the tragedy of 9/11and with this album she won a Grammy for Best Engineered Album, Non-Classical.
