Encounter With Transgressive Music - Session17 - Inside The City: Istanbul Impressions

A descent into Istanbul's underbelly, far from the tourist traps. Explore the sound of its back alleys and hidden backyards, and feel the melancholy creeping through the cracks. From the opening ritual of Orient Expressions to the funeral waltz of Sezen Aksu, this session peels back the glitter to reveal the grit. Here, BaBa ZuLa's droned warnings bleed into Gaye Su Akyol's snarling despair, and the sound of Replikas echoes off deserted streets. I have tried to blend the Arabesque ache with the digital grit. Tune in. Turn down the lights. Feel the city breathe.

Encounter With Transgressive Music - Session16 - Dimensions Of Istanbul

This is more than just a postcard of Istanbul. It is a dive into its bloodstream. From Mercan Dede's Sufi electronics to the powerful intensity of Lalalar, and from the aching heart of Neşet Ertaş to the rebellious glamour of Gaye Su Akyol. From the retro-charm of Derya Yıldırım to the psychedelia of BaBa ZuLa. This is the clash of arabesque grief and futuristic funk, the echo of the Saz dissolving into industrial distortion.
