SP-404MKII Beats Sampling Turkish Music in Istanbul
Here’s some SP-404MKII bumps I cooked up in Istanbul sampling Turkish traditional & 70’s soul music. The first two beats were filmed around the İnciburnu Feneri (lighthouse) in Kadıköy and the third at bar called Tarantula (which won my heart coz they had a Street Fighter II arcade cabinet n at 1₺ a game you can play for hours without feeling it). I was really stoked to find how deep the funk scene was in 1970’s Turkey, funny thing is everyone I talked to about it didn’t really know much of it existed n more so couldn’t imagine what part of down this stuff was being performed back then.
Everything besides the drums were sampled from Turkish recordings, here’s the snitch list:
0:00 Beat 1
Nil Burak - Sus (1975)
Taksim Trio - İç Benim İçin (2013)
1:35 Beat 2
Gülden Karaböcek - Artik Sorma Beni (1974)
Edip Akbayram - İnce İnce Bir Kar Yağar (1974)
3:05 Beat 3
Taksim Trio - Yala
