Psych Funk À La Turkish Vol. 1
Psych Funk Á La Turkish is a welcome addition to the many reissues and comps of Turkish Psych and Funk that have been released in the last years (some of them strangely just dropping same well-known songs again).

Elektronik Türküler

With a crack bass player by his side (Ahmet Güvenç from Bunalim & Baris Manco’s Kurtalan Ekspres) & an electrified baglama in his hands, Erkin Koray lets his gloomy baritone voice float over wiry double-reed melodies, bulging r…

Uzelli Elektro Saz
"After Uzelli released its Psychedelic Anadolu selection in 2017, we began working on this second album with our dear friend Osman Murat Ertel. When we opened up this archive to Murat, a lover, aficionado and player of the electric saz, we supposed that he would make a selection under that title.

His wife Esma, who had contributed her energy and experience from the beginn…
