The weekend in Alsancak begins in the industrial hall of No. 57 by Studio House. Open from 22:00 on Saturday, 7 November, the venue hosts Sali Chandler, one of the long-standing names of Istanbul's house and disco scene. Sali Chandler is known for sets shaped over many years under the minimüzikhol roof. In his selections, the warm bass lines of disco, the deep textures of deep house and the patient tempo of minimal meet along one line; the venues he has played include Six Senses Kaplankaya, Lucca and By the Sea. He has shared those stages with names such as Chez Damier, Honey Dijon, Natasha Diggs, Jacques Renault, Traumer, Akufen, The Mole, Djebali and Johnny Rock. The artist, who uses the alias Tuff Choice for his productions, is best known in clubs for these long, layered selections. No. 57 by Studio House, increasingly talked about in Izmir's nightlife, sits at 57/A on 1469th Street in Alsancak. Its concrete texture, wide dance floor and acoustics suit a night built around house and disco. There is a single name on the bill: Sali Chandler. The tempo flows uninterrupted from one DJ's hands all night, keeping the selection whole from opening to close. For anyone who wants to enter the weekend from the warm side of disco and house, the programme starts at 22:00 and runs late into the night. Ticket and up-to-date information are on the event's Resident Advisor listing. The location, within walking distance of central Alsancak, also makes it easier to plan the journey home by public transport at the end of the night.
