DERYA YILDIRIM & GRUP SIMSEK

Anatolian psych-pop sensations Derya Yıldırım & Grup Şimşek (pronounced ‘Shimshek’) share the dreamy lost-future sounds of “Sunrise”, the synth-led closing song from their essential forthcoming second album, ‘Dost 1’, the first volume of two ‘Dost’ (meaning ‘friend’) releases. 

The band is fronted by Berlin based, Turkish singer and multi-instrumentalist Derya Yıldırım, with members spread across France and Great Britain. The group is known for its contemporary takes on traditional Anatolian folk ballads whilst drawing on a heady mix of psychedelia, jazz and the omnivorous pop universe of the present day. 

After the success of 2019’s debut Kar Yağar, a rousing, psychedelic take on traditional Anatolian folk songs and originals inspired in part by the legendary Turkish poet Nâzım Hikmet Ran, the six-track release sees the band once again cast a contemporary light on old Anatolian classics, as well as offering a selection of innovative original compositions. Led by Yıldırım’s vocals and bağlama (Turkish lute), the album features intricate yet dancey arrangements, where noodling bass and atmospheric organ chords collide to spectacular effect. “We always want to push our sounds further, and constantly evolve,” says Yıldırım.

Closing track Sunrise opens with a solitary synth refrain that feels like drifting idly through space. Distorted strings and squelchy keys further the sense of mystery and add to the futuristic feel. Derya  tells us, "Sunrise marks the end of the journey in ‘Dost 1;. A slow and trippy progressive track. It feels as though time has been distorted, like after a sleepless night out : cymbals sound like blinking eyes, underwater synth notes echo like a whale call. The epic finale brings us back to a sense of togetherness and collective power : the band - as well as the listener - are ready for the next step... "

‘Dost 1’ will be released worldwide by Catapulte Records and influential crate digger imprint Bongo Joe, known for both contemporary & re-issued underground releases from across the world. “Our musical backgrounds are so different, which is what makes it so fun and inspiring to make music,” Yıldırım adds. “We don’t see ourselves as a Turkish band – the lyrics are always Turkish, but the sound we create deserves to exist beyond that category.”

Exclusive Premiere: Derya Yıldırım & Grup Şimşek "Sunrise" (Forthcoming on Bongo Joe)

Note from 𝙳𝚊𝚕𝚒𝚎𝚗 𝚉𝚘𝚙𝚎𝚕, founder of ᴇᴍᴘᴛʏ6ᴘᴀᴄᴋ:
This album was recorded in Kalfarlien 18, an old house, incredible haven for madmen and lost souls, full of magical energy, old memories, strange objects… This is the residence of the Sundby in Bergen, Norway. Edvard Sundby is an unknown genius, a fantastic cellist, and a mystic in every way. His brother is a well-known jazz band drummer, with some experimental projects.
Axel Vildenes, frontman of Kakkmadafakka, lives nearby and made an agreement to install the recording studio inside Edvard's house for the entire duration of the 𝘏𝘶𝘴 album recording.
I happened to live in that same house at that time. Once or twice a week, they would come to the house, and we used to hear the band as they were listening to specific parts of the song over and over again; as if they were trying to find the perfect recipe.
For me that time of my life was very important and that is why I have a special affection for this album.

Pop X (/ˈpɔpper/ or /ˈpɔppiks/) is an Italian musical group formed in Trento in 2004 with Davide Panizza as founder and the only permanent member. Antille is the fifth studio album by Pop X. In Antille the sound is more refined than previous albums and the instruments have also grown in number and impact. Trumpets, pianos, percussion enrich the sound of Pop X giving it a surprising depth. Deviant pop, a nihilistic virtuosity. Surreal lyrics and gushing autotune that turn Davide's voice into another instrument.

Outsiders: Bongo Joe Records w/ Derya Yıldırım & Grup Şimşek @ Kiosk Radio 07.12.2022

Anatolian psych-pop sensations Derya Yıldırım & Grup Şimşek (pronounced ‘Shimshek’) are back with Dost (‘friend’) 1&2, which compiles the band’s both second and third album. Fronted by Berlin based, Turkish singer and multi-instrumentalist Derya Yıldırım and with members in France and Great Britain, the group is known for its contemporary takes on traditional Anatolian folk ballads whilst drawing on a heady mix of psychedelia, jazz and the omnivorous pop universe of the present day. Derya Yıldırım and her  trans-continental band of brothers and sisters are an essential guide for contemporary psychedelia.

While rooted in Anatolian tradition, Grup Şimşek (which translates into Ocean Lightning and the Thunderbolts, a play on Derya’s surname “Yıldırım”, which means lightning in Turkish) draws on a boundless cosmos of sounds and builds on the contribution of each band member. 

Derya Yıldırım explains: “In Dost 1 we tried to concentrate on the sound that we really like as a whole unit, focusing on each element and arranging and composing the songs all together.  Dost 2 is the second part of this adventure [and] it’s really important to actually consider us as individuals [...] with different influences and backgrounds.”

Human Condition

E6P3.4 🐫 Human Condition, by Dromedar 🐫 Snippet

"És música que faig pel plaer de fer-la, sense cap expectativa. És música que no està pensada per portar al directe, perquè juga amb l'acumulació d'un mateix instrument repetit diverses vegades. És música que comença i acaba en aquell primer dibuix sense emmarcar."

Gravat i tocat de forma immediata per Edi Pou a casa.
La Sara toca el violí a Underground Pt.2, però de fet hi és a tot arreu.
L’Alvaro Gallego processa i modula al Phasing for Two Bells in El Hierro.
Mesclat per Edi Pou, però a Underground Pt 1 i 2 hi ha la saviesa de Víctor Teller.
Masteritzat per Álvaro Gallego.
