Bosphoroots, Ayenay, and Dubfactor return on February 6 to honor Bob Marley on his birthday at one of Istanbul’s most iconic venues, Babylon.

About Bosphoroots:
With a powerful eight-piece lineup, Bosphoroots blends the warm energy of roots reggae with a modern dub approach, inviting listeners into an inclusive atmosphere through deep bass lines, organic horn sections, and live dub touches. Bringing together Bob Marley’s messages of love, unity, and resistance with high-energy stage performances, Bosphoroots is set to transform Babylon into a true “One Love” atmosphere on this special night.

About Ayenay:
Ayenay is a musical project that brings together ska, reggae, dub, hip-hop, and electronic sounds through improvisation and live performance energy. The project is shaped by the shared vision of Etoloop on vocals and Genjah on electronic production.
This free-flowing stage language—ranging from reggae’s rhythmic calm to dub’s deep, atmospheric space—is enriched by Sıla Çınar on keyboards and Orçun Şeker on guitar. Ayenay offers a distinctive sound universe that draws from the city and is reimagined with every performance.

About Dubfactor:
One of the founders of Outro Music Store, Dubfactor has been performing DJ sets across many of Istanbul’s key venues—primarily based in Kadıköy—since the early 2000s. Focusing mainly on early reggae, roots reggae, and dub selections, Dubfactor takes listeners on a journey to the roots of the music with a vinyl-centered approach, a deep archive, and flow-driven set constructions.
