Folklore is one of the fundamentals that defines us as human beings. Therefore, @meraque is intrigued by bringing traditional musical elements from different cultures together.

During a trip, they came across the track “Hûli”, composed by Aroma (IND). Inspired by the eponymous, indigenous tribe of Papua New Guinea, he created tribal hypnotic grooves and tropical style soundscapes.

Mèraque flavored their remix with lyrical melodies of clarinet and saxophone. Simultaneously, the oud hovers around in oriental pentatonic patterns. Driving rhythms of the darbuka make the exotic danceable vibe complete.

The track is part of the album Tropical Bangers IV, released in March 2021, by Ohxalá Records, Portugal.

With very subtle use of complex rhytmic patterns and the intelligent distribution of almost subconciously noticable elements, RLHBSLCN (@rlhbslcn) adds a weird twist to Kleintierschaukel's (@kleintierschaukel) 'Italian Blood'.

Originated in Ankara, Turkey; @ikarumusic gets its main inspiration from the timeless and placeless resorts of human culture, intertwined both with beats and notes of antiquity as well as the mind-bending bleeps of synth-scales. Insisting upon a genre-free overall style, the sound of Ikaru resonates within a range of eclectic electronic beats, indigenous acoustic instruments and psychedelic sloth-techno, sometimes revisiting an ambient, downtempo style.
In its essence, Ikaru seeks for a music that is "capable of expressing the inexpressible after silence" in Huxley's words.

Enkidu, as we know from the Epic of Gilgamesh, represents the wild fabric of our kind. We believe that we all shaped ourselves to counter-cross our natural boundaries for thousands of years. We pushed ourselves and even our archetypes to become ‘more’. But in fact, what we should achieve is the acceptance of our desperate need for balance. Inside and out, rather than pushing and punishing. And as an expressive part of this story, we embraced no one but Herodot, the archaic storyteller of the Mediterranean lands, who once said that the worst thing in the world is to be full of wonderful thoughts and not being able to express them.

" What we are trapped inside is the neglectance of our monoliths; those which connect us to our roots, emotions and essence. This EP is a remembrance of this essence of life and stories, which we humbly dared to speak of. "

In Enkidu EP, there will be 1 more original track, called Herodot; and 2 remixes by @mmakossa & @sound_shapes and @holedcoin

Remix by @herrhausentreindl
Original Music by @santiandtugce

Istanbul’a is a song written for the ancient city Istanbul that evokes timeless questions: Can one ever leave behind one’s home? Can one ever truly arrive at a home that was once abandoned yet never quite forgotten? The original version of this haunting track is a dreamy meander through a labyrinth of marimbas and harps, orchestrated delicately by Santi and brought to life by Tuğçe’s ethereal voice. Santi & Tuğçe first released an extended version of this track in 2017 in the aftermath of political events that filled the city with grave uncertainty, much like the current moment in which we find ourselves. Even more so than at the time of its original release, today Istanbul’a captures a widespread sentiment of liminality and uprootedness that echoes all around and gains new meaning in our world as we ask: Can we go back to a past that is long gone? Will things ever be the same again?

Along with Santi & Tuğçe’s revision of their original Istanbul’a, this EP features three brand new renditions. KMLN blends elements of deep tribal house and minimal techno into the original track that is bound to bring the heat to the dancefloor, while Herrhausen & Treindl’s approach yields an equally danceable, yet more laid-back euphoria. The EP ends on a climactic note with Dunkelbunt’s version featuring his signature transglobal electronic-instrumental sound that is full of energy, swing and a sense of eclecticism that is as layered as the ancient city Istanbul itself.

Lyrics
İSTANBUL’A
Nereye gidersem gideyim sonunda döndüğüm
Her köşesi ayak izlerimle dolu labirent
Sende gizli durgunluğum
Her şeyi başlatan ezgisi cocukluğumun

Belki bir gün yeniden karşılaşırsak senle ben
Hic bir seyin aynı olamayacağını bilen
Ve yine de hayal eden iki eski dost gibi
Sarılacağız ve susacağız

---

TO ISTANBUL
Wherever I go, the one I always return to
The labyrinth whose every corner is filled with my footsteps
In you hides my stillness,
The tune of my childhood that started all

If one day, we meet again
Like two old friends who know that nothing will be the same again
And yet, who still imagine,
We will embrace and keep quiet
