Because Mustafa (Voltron Organiser) is not facing the truth and he is directly attacking me for my "behaviour" I decided to put my side of the story everywhere on i can so people can know the truth and stay away from this idiout.
I arrived in Istanbul for the first time in my life and was expecting for somebody to wait for me at the airport (like any other normal festival or a party) but nobody was there & i personaly asked him 10 days before the festival to wait for me at the airport and pay me my fee before i start playing to not make a mistake like some other festivals this year for his own reputation.
There was no wireless on the Airport so i called the organiser on the phone i asked him where he is and why there is nobody to wait for me at the airport, he couldn't articulate a normal answer for 7 minutes of talking on the phone & asked me to buy a flight to Dalaman Airport & somehow come to the festival...
First of all me and most of the artists didn't even know that the festival is 1000 km away from Istanbul....
I refused to buy a ticket to Dalaman because it was 130+ Euro and transport to the festival is not my problem...
After few calls we agreed for me to go in a hostel in Istanbul where one of his friends "Ali" a fullon artist known as "Midi Junkies" works.
I was really sick from diarrhea and i didn't have a lot of energy in me to move, but i catched a bus from the airport to Taksim, just because this is his first festival and he is lost in space.
And offcourse this guy Ali didn't want to pick me up from the airport, or wait for me in Taksim Square where the bus stops, so i had to search for the hostel on my own with my 3 bags full of equipment and clothes and i was very very sick...
After i found the hostel (which was really difficult to find because most of the people don't know english there) i was given a room from this Ali guy and i waited for my ticket to be sort out. I asked for a plain rice & jogurt to eat because of my condition, and just waited and waited and wait some more, and asked him 4 times to get me this food (not that he didn't understand english, but somehow he forgot to bring it to me for some lame excuse like "you should have asked me" or "why didn't you come down" or something else...
After 8 hours waiting for my food i came to the bar & i asked him for the 5th or 6th time: " Are you fucking with me?
Seriously are you fucking with me i asked you 5 fucking times for a rice & jogurt and you just give me bullshit excuses!" Then offcourse he went and bring the food in less than 2 minutes, because you need to behave like an asshole with assholes so they can understand you...
After that i waited for 3 more days in the hostel & quit the idea to get food or anything from this guy & waited for my ticket to Dalaman.
Then Kashyyyk, Arcek, Philoso & Mor came to Istanbul Airport surprised like me that there is nobody there to wait for them & they were freaked out, so i called them to come in this hostel & tried to fix free room for them with Ali...
The next day Megalopsy came. Every morning the guys that worked in the hostel were screaming at my face: Check out! Check out! Check out! And every morning i had to explain to them that Ali is taking care of my stay.
After 3 days waiting there we went with the guys at a local beach to relax & when i came back there was somebody else in my room i stayed & all my bags were not there in the room.
Megalopsy found them at the laundry place in the hostel... I was tired from this guys at the hostel & i was really sick so decided to spend the next days at one of my friends that i met in Goa. She was really nice with me & i am really gratefull for her hospitality.
Nobody got the flights to the festival, some of the artists were stuck in Istanbul, Antalya & Dalaman Airports, most of the artists who showed up at the festival didn't get payments at all, and some didn't even had a flight out of Istanbul & i think that even now there are few artists in Turkey...
From the people that went to the festival & heard that it was the worst festival they ever been in their life! Without normal food, only 2 toilets & showers, no music for a long time, bad soundsystem, generator quit working all the time, most of the artists didn't show up, no enough water, no higiene, and crazy big prices for everything! Now the organiser call us handicaped & lazy for not coming at the festival, calling us acidheads, spastics, and now he is iven threating us that he will do something bad to us for not showing up at the festival.
I'm going to write this story everywhere so people can know the truth!
You can see all the comments from the people, artists and the organiser here: https://www.facebook.com/events/254510511233676/
Pls moderators to not remove this topic so people can see how shitty this guy is!

Sounds like a wonderful time, why did you not fly home the second day?

Bad story but seriously (sorry for being harsh here).
"and some didn't even had a flight out of Istanbul"
Who in their right mind go to a foreign country without a return ticket and 50% in advance?

sounds about what I expected when I first heard of this festival. Somebody I know was approached to DJ at it but he received advance warning of fail factor somehow and pulled the plug before going over.
It's shitty when this happens.

you are like talking too much women, your worth is just booking fee that you couldnt get ! just think that, other guys had also same situation but they dont cry like you in everywhere!
and you still aint realise that i am not voltron fests organizer... so you r such an idiot !  )
if you have such a big problem , you should write it to organizer directly.but as everyone can see that you behave like 15 years old girl...talkin so much in everywhere...
and you still couldnt realise that it wasnt my responsibility to hospitalize you in istanbul...But i did you favor ( actually i helped to my friend ...) and why dont you write that ALI who you try to blame , met you and found you a place to stay and paid your accomodation and food from his salary ?
once again :
Your worth is your booking fee that you couldnt get !!!
and you wrote that you r professional and have been making art or music for 9 years...
I think you just wasted your time ... and now you r stealing my time...
coz i had guests from russia and ukraine they also couldnt go to voltron fest but we had really great time in istanbul together...try to be friendly first !
and its seen that who has great ego !
my words are still valid ...
kiss you baby ...
ali / midi junkies
ps : if you continue to cry, i will send you your booking fee from my salary to stop you crying )))))))))) |

I don't need your stupid money and i never asked you for any money, i just asked for respect, actualy i begged for respect...
You introduced yourself as Ali from Voltron Festival, i said ok it's not so bad atleast they have a guy there.
You didn't want to pick me up from the airport, so i had to catch a bus and search for the hostel with my 2 bags.
Then you failed to give me food for 8 hours and 5-6 times of begging.
Every morning your boss was coming in my room and screaming in my face: Check out! Check out! Check out!
You lied to me that you will buy a ticket for me to go to the festival.
On top of that i was kicked out from the room, and your boss told me: Ali - Dalaman, he don't pay for the room.
Pls tell me where is the help and hospitality here.
Im enough from the bullshit from you and mustafa and from this festival and i will not write any stuff here anymore.
Apology is still welcome!
