DJ K-Sets is an artist and tape-jockey from Cuenca, Spain. In 2005 he went to Turkey for 5 months spending all of his time and money compiling hundreds of Turkish and Kurdish cassette tapes as part of a project about Middle-Eastern popular music. In the local scene he's known for playing all kinds of 'selected working-class music' using only 2 car-radio cassette players, often dressed in full tracksuit and pilot-style sunglasses.

Needles to say, we're more than honoured to present Anadolu Mixtape 13 by DJ K-Sets with a special selection of tape excerpts that were not included in any of his previous mixtapes. Listen, repeat and repeat again!
