In the organizer's words:

blue friend is the project of Cologne-based indie pop artist Cansin Terporten, who produces his songs entirely DIY and captures the zeitgeist between excessive demands, closeness and self-doubt with raw lyrics. His sound lies somewhere between Kraftklub, Mayberg and Edwin Rosen, in which he mixes 2000s indie rock, post-punk and modern lo-fi elements. With songs such as "Notting Hill", "so schwer" and "nur für dich", he has already achieved over 130,000 streams, airplay on 1Live & bigFM and editorial playlists on Spotify and Apple Music. blue friend addresses coming-of-age, social pressure and toxic masculinity. always direct, danceable and emotionally raw.
