Istanbul 70: Psych Disco Folk Edits By Baris K Vol II vinyl

The first volume of Istanbul Edits from the Nublu imprint didn't spend long at Juno, and rightly so because the killer Anatolian tweaks from Baris K were more than matched by the cover art! The NYC label swiftly serves up a second helping from the Turkish disco lynchpin which maintains the standards set with aplomb. There's a real devilish charm to all the tracks present here, with the overtly dramatic vocals on Cem Karaca's "Nem Alacak Felek Benim" complemented by a subtle filtered sensation from Senor K - you'll love the slight slip of acid wigout that appears midway through. After that you get sultry twilight slink (Ikimiz Bir Fidaniz), something approaching proto house (the revelatory "Disko Kebap" from Urfali Babi) and perhaps the mosty overtly disco track in "Dalkavuk" from Senay. If you're a fan of the more obscure disco sounds out there this record will hit the spot perfectly.
