MBR436: Ali Kuru - Son Mansour
Release date: 11.06.2021

There’s something about the enigmatic Ali Kuru and his distinctive productions, and we are excited to have him back on MoBlack Records once again. His revival of the legendary Mansour Seck’s 1994 masterpiece, ‘Quinze Ans’ is the perennial summer anthem we’ve long been looking for, just in time for our much deserved homecoming to dancefloor bliss. ‘Son Mansour,’ a remake powered by the remarkable Senegalese singer/musician’s invigorating vocal prowess, is a byproduct of the DJ/Producer’s intuition, dancefloor acumen and a signature touch that has uplifted dancers far and wide. As expected of the Turkish artist, this 5:44 minute journey is pleasingly climactic, swerving ethnic instrumentation, elegant electronic tweaks with penetrating riffs and lush percussion, grooving on mesmerizing bass lines while keeping Mansour Seck’s lustrous essence intact and flourishing. ‘Son Monsour’ is dreamy and exotic, driving and deep, a magical dance gently unfurling, sublime against the sun setting, or rising.

November 2016 :: Mixtape

Few artists can claim to have their own distinctive “musical voice”: a style of composition and production that listeners instantly recognize. For starters, it takes years of experimentation to perfect, and most people simply don’t have the patience, talent or skills to pull it off. 

Ali Kuru is one of those rare producers whose music sounds like nothing else around. The Istanbul-based artist has spent the best part of a decade honing his trademark style – a fragrant and intoxicating aural brew that combines a myriad of influences with atmospheric field recordings and snaking, mind-altering Middle Eastern instrumentation – via releases for the likes of Luxa Flex, Kalisah, Sound Architecture and, most recently, Leng. 

It’s to the latter label that the publicity-shy producer returns with his most ambitious release to date, Egzotik. 15 tracks and 70 minutes deep, it’s not so much a debut album as a statement of intent. From start to finish, it feels like a humid, sweat-soaked saunter through the winding streets of Istanbul in the company of a musician who draws more inspiration than most from his immediate surroundings. 

Those surroundings come to the fore on opener “Bazaar”, where tipsy horns and gently strummed electric guitar passages slowly rise above the sound of a harbourside market. 

They’re present, too, within the souk rhythms and cascading pianos of “Zorba The Greek”, beneath the gentle throb of “Lost Bedouin”, inside the spaced-out, stargazing pulse of “Hiyar”, and around the chiming melodies and mournful strings of hushed ambient closer “Adios”. 

Kuru’s genius lies in his ability to take familiar musical tropes and twist them into unique, Ottoman-inspired shapes. So, while “Tangerine Dream” doffs a cap to the stretched-out hypnotism of the legendary krautrock band of the same name, its reliance on backwards drum hits, locked-in grooves and psychedelic sample loops is a far more contemporary proposition. 

Some may hear the influence of Detroit beatdown in the slow and dubby house grooves of “Le Voyage De Space”, while others could describe the drowsy “Ashoka” as being Weatherall-esque. Yet none of these tracks, layered as they are with traditional Balkan, Persian and Arabic instrumentation, sound like anything other than Ali Kuru productions. 

The result is an album that surprises and enthralls in equal measure. Highlights come thick and fast, from the bubbling, dub-house psychedelia of “Mount Damavand” and haunting deep techno humidity of “Sacred Vallley”, to the Augustus Pablo-in-Ankara shuffle of “Jungle Flower” and potent hookah hit of “Return to Paradise”, where sampled voices rise above a typically tactile groove.

Summer Sol III  Final Mstrs

Mukadderat  - Sol Selectas Summer Sol III Compilation

Sol Selectas is a label famed for its unique sound fusing ambient textures with melodic grooves and rhythmic melodies inspired by ancient folk law.

The label's new release welcomes Turkish artist Ali Kuru who recently featured as part of Sol Selectas recent Summer Sol III compilation, but now returns for a solo EP also featuring a stunning remix from the iconic Satori.

Ali Kuru has also featured on labels such as Exotic Refreshment, Underyourskin, 8Bit and Leng Records, building up a global reputation for being an ambassador of the Turkish electronic music scene, whose innovative approach has helped inspire the country's growing club culture.

Satori needs little introduction within the world of low slung melodic music as within the genre he has helped define the style that so many others draw influence from. Known especially for his remix skills, he has reworked people ranging from Acid Pauli to Damian Lazarus, and this is another fine example of his exceptional talents.

"Mazlum" opens the EP with an expertly produced sound combining Middle Eastern instruments with synthetic sounds and a skilful blend that’s neither too raw or overly polished. Keeping the earthy sound of the instruments, the sequenced percussion adds DJ friendly rhythms perfect for a packed nightclub dance floor.

Satori provides the second track with his remix of “Mazlum” which is set to rival the success of his previous Sol Selectas remix which is widely considered a classic of the genre. Focusing on the Middle Eastern elements, he reinforces the kick drum making for an imaginative rework that paints sonic pictures of Arabic landscapes.

Third of the tracks is “Donuk” with a chugging groove, vibrant percussion and long cello notes amidst an array of bending synths and vocal textures. An epic journey of spiritual transformation, this exquisite track takes on many forms with its enlightening aura of discovery.

The artwork by Helia Jamali takes us deep into a mystical valley of cosmic delights, eclipsed totalities, and outer-dimensional dualities, where your primal emotions rise up to the surface, and guide your path.

Sounds of Sirin Podcast #024 - Ali Kuru

Out now on Crosstown Rebels: lnk.to/CRMLP045

Over a period of seventeen years, Damian Lazarus’ Crosstown Rebels has evolved into a world-renowned institution, garnering global audiences thanks to a consistent schedule of quality releases. Quintessential to the label’s success is the Spirits series, with each edition acting as a musical bastion to showcase the talents of both established and breakthrough artists alike. Now, after much anticipation, the world-renowned compilation will see the light of day once more in the form of Spirits IV, the fourth installment in Spirits’ ever-evolving saga. A mixed version of the album will also be included in the release, as a digital bonus track.

Ahead of its release, label-founder Damian Lazarus described the ethos behind the series: “The Spirits series is a very important platform for incredible new club music, often created by up and coming artists. The tracks are tried and tested over a twelve month
period by myself at parties and no stone is left unturned to ensure the absolute quality of every cut on the album. Deep, twisted
and beautiful music for the dancefloors of tomorrow.” 

That last sentence is epitomised in the compilation’s very beginning, as Alex Kennon and Pete Tong’s Apache leads with a stirring intensity, gently winding between spirit-healing vocals and resonant kick-hat combos. Echoe-founder Francesca Lombardo showcases her decade-long production experience in Freak On Sea, providing a dubby-leaning club cut that features progressive key changes throughout before Martin Badder and Pablo:Rita’s stunning collaboration, Phase, soon arrives in its place, rippling with a gentle lucidity thanks to a subtle four-four bassline and mesmeric singing tones. 

ANTS regular Andrea Oliva takes no prisoners on Rawman, serving up a near six-minute cut of pummeling kicks that build into a brooding synth-fuelled crescendo, whilst Russian-born up-and-comer Artur Nikolaev showcases his inherent artistic expression on Alma, creating an eleven-minute voyage into minimal techno’s deeper realm with stripped-back bass and hypnotic vocal samples. California’s Lubelski teams up with singer-songwriter Xkylar on Passion Fruits, a track that dives between slow-burning percussion and emotion-lead pads, paving the way for I See Colour, the latest collaboration from UK-native Luke Brancaccio and long-standing production partner Cypherpunx. Crosstown Rebels regular Made By Pete makes his Spirits debut next, presenting a tribal-laced mystic number in the form of Harar before Turkey’s leading exponent Ali Kuru teams up with Nublu Records founder Ilhan Ersahin on the jazz-dotted, Middle-Eastern inspired Eplos. Super Natural quickens the pace courtesy of enigmatic Barbados-born talent Murr, alongside Rosina’s ethereal vocal offerings that enchant as much as they delight, whilst veteran
German producer DJ Linus gives us the penultimate track on Vibes In Space. Indicative of the track’s progression, we are taken on a celestial journey through starry-eyed synths and soft whispering hats, leading neatly into the compilation’s closing saga in the form of Matador’s Vulture, a straight-talking dancefloor cut that showcases the Rukus-founder at his best.
