This is the 107th Ambient Sessions presented by Deep Electronics. These monthly released sessions brings you the best and the most diversity Ambient music can offer. This month Cenk Akyol makes his second appereance on the channel for the Ambient Sessions.

About:
''Cenk's attention to music started by hearing his brother playing The Art Of Noise - Moments In Love, in the year 1985. When breakdancing got popular in town they both started collecting electro-funk records accordingly. This goes until 1988 where he heard a new dance craze called New Beat and Acid house, came out from Belgium and the UK. These two turning points fixated his path in dance music. In 1992, luckily he found out tape recordings of the very first Techno Trax compilation series of ZYX Music and aware of this new euphoric dance beats called Techno. His favourite label back then Force Inc Music led him to be aware and enjoy each and every dance music styles. Having a large collection of music in all forms, he has invited to local radio programs to share those unique sounds with other curious minds until the internet era came to our lives. Since 2000, shares his selections from his archive via his web account. Even though never interested in becoming a DJ, he time to time invited to play local venues''

Ambient Sessions # 107 -  Cenk Akyol

O hai!

Born and bred in Poland, where the Sun rarely shines and stolen German cars are most often found, I have been into and around drum & bass for quite a while, though my record collection expands into many different directions and genres. Yet, as the English language allows for the pun to follow, I like to emphasize that it all started from scratch :P Indeed, turntablism was the thing that drew me behind the decks and after all these years I still like to make use of what I've learned so far. However, as far as drum & bass is concerned, there are virtually no limits to what I play (with the small exclusion of the style embodied by McDonald’s most representative figure :P ). Also, I'm 1/2 of atmoteka - a series of atmospheric drum & bass mixes recorded by some of the most prominent producers and DJs who have made - and continue to make - significant contributions to the atmospheric side of drum & bass.

Disco segued to electro-funk ('85) and then Acid House ('88), which led to Techno ('92), which gradually encompassed a wide selection of CDs and some vinyl. Today little contemporary music reaches me and which, I guess, would be considered “electronic music”, I usually don’t find very exciting. As with all things, there is an abundance of similarity, and I rarely encounter anything that surprises me. The current state of affairs, whether in music or other fields, is very similar everywhere. The point in history where electronic music had no other template than one’s own imagination is certainly over. The very templates of the past have made the creation of new, unknown templates almost impossible. This is a structural issue of the genre that has transformed it into its current state. That being said, electronic music seems to have lost a lot of its sincerity. Via this account, nothing but high-quality, 'sincere' music is shared.

I like smooth & metamorphic Tech, Ambient & Leftfield electronic music, new varieties of Patterns & Sequences,.. the possibility of a much wider world that corresponds to the already wide possibilities of modern music.----FREE PALESTINE  &  EQUAL HUMAN RIGHTS WORLDWIDE !!!
