On this compilation you find a cross section of the music that was released on Bone Union Records in 2020 and 2021. 

Founded in June 2020 by Sarp Keskiner (TR) and Jan Mittendorp (NL) in order to create a ground for mutual cultural exchange, BONE UNION RECORDS aims to document a neglected musical scene in Turkey not just by releasing archival material from mid-90’s to this date; but also keen on releasing brand new material from Turkish artists. Though the scope mainly consist rare recordings of local traditional blues, urban blues and gospel acts, the material varies wildly by inclusion of folk, funk, dub, noise and experimental releases, that goes way beyond the borders of conventional blues.

Good Morning Little Schoolgirl - The Old Ramblers

B&T 996
When you go to the pawn shop to buy the most shitty blender they have and you put in some RL Burnside, a slice of the Legendary Shack Shakers, some parts of Bob Log’s helmet, a few pieces of T-model Ford and a little bit of of Left Lane Cruiser then start mixing  this at full speed, you will get a new refreshing cocktail named Bacon Fat Louis!

No complicated bullshit just some hot steaming no-nonsense boogie with a little taste of that fine voodoo garage-sound and always keeping the Blues as the foundation.

Recently the guys send a few tracks to miXendorp and asked him to do his magic to them. Here is the first result.
