Τhe second song is Greek and it's called "dili deli" by Manolis Barberakis!

laila nazmi - shouf 3iny malha - take a look at my eye

what a cool song, anyone can tell me what he is singing about?

One of our favourite Middle Eastern psych outfits, The Şatellites, return with an irresistible mid-tempo groove ahead of their much anticipated debut album. 

Self described as a “musical laboratory” lost somewhere between the mysterious alleys of 70’s Istanbul and the scorching sun and crystal blue sea of Jaffa-Tel Aviv, the Şatellites release their latest single "Disko Arabesque" and continue recontextualising their adoration for Turkish music and the greats that paved the way before them.

Taken from their self-titled debut album Şatellites, set to be released on Batov Records on April 1st 2022, "Disko Arabesque" ventures in a new direction which could loosely be described as following the footsteps of the Turkish Arabesque movement, a cultural epoch born in the 1960s in Istanbul and integrating a diverse collection of music inspired by the ethnography of Turkish folk, and middle eastern rhythm and structure. It was the late 70’s when the disco beat began defining Turkish pop music or “Anatolian pop”.

In comparison to much of their output, "Disko Arabesque" is an original composition created by the band. Throughout it we can hear two tenacious and opposing styles of music; on one hand the steady beat, groovy basslines and squelchy synths of disco and on the other, the ornamental qualities referencing Turkish Arabesque. 

The Şatellites possess an innate ability to merge musical modernism, with traditional instrumentation and technique, to create unique musical combinations while capturing the rich and diverse music and culture that has, and continues to arise in and out of Turkey.

'The Şatellites' album will be released on Batov Records, April 1st.

Radio Martiko - The Revenge of the Underdogs

/// Fortuna Records Presents /// 

• Tsvia Abarbanel - Soul Of The East EP •

Fortuna Records brings you one of the rarest, most exotic recordings to ever come out of the Middle East. This lost and forgotten record is the true meaning of east meets west and is bound to leave you craving for more.
In the late sixties, Israel had a large Yemenite community in which original folk artists started blending western instrument into traditional songs. The biggest name of the time was the innovative Aharon Amram, who was the first to introduce electric guitars, bass, Farfisa organs, and drum kits to traditional Yemeni rhythms, conventionally played by tapping fingers on an olive-oil tin can. Tsvia Abarbanel and 'Piamenta's Guys' took a few steps ahead into the unexplored territory of Yemenite jazz. The synergy between Albert Piamenta, one of Israel's leading funk and jazz arrangers, and Tzvia Abarbanel with her extraordinary voice and haunting melodies, is something like Mulatu Astatke meets Yma sumac. The strange rhythm patterns, the enchanted performance of the musicians and the amazing voice of Tsvia all come together to create a raw and unique style, capturing the sound of the warm desert wind and its glowing dust.

Tsvia Abarbanel - Yahlel Hawa (FTN001-B)

We're so glad to host a special guest mix from @DiscoArabesquo. He took radio flouka into a nostalgic journey.

From the 60’s till the 90’s Arabic countries had a mix of different cultures. The Middle-East and North Africa were influenced by different spheres through politics, religion and ideologies. The music of that time was also caught up in these intersections. Artists created new traditional Arabic music and combined it with Western influences. Disco Arabesquo portrays this ‘splash of civilizations’ by selecting unique songs that showcase this creative cultural contamination and a generation searching for a new identity.

Ladies on Records for Radio Alhara

The ever-reliable Batov Records have another unmissable 45 on the way. This time it's a band formed only this year called Şatellites. MIMS is proud to premiere B-Side, "Deli Deli", a razor sharp slice of Turkish psych funk & pop in 6/8 time.

Şatellites are another exciting act from the celebrated Tel Aviv music scene, and here at Batov Records we love them! Formed earlier this year, the group comprises talented vocalist Yuli Shafriri on the synth; Itamar Klüger on the baglama & bouzouki; Ariel Harrosh on the bass and Azriel ‘Raz’ Man on the drums. The band plays everything from Anatolian rock to vintage psych and spacey grooves. Şatellites describe their sound as retro-fresh psych à la Turk, a musical “laboratory” lost somewhere between the mysterious alleys of 70’s Istanbul and the scorching sun and crystal blue sea of Jaffa-Tel Aviv.

"Deli Deli" opens with a groovy bass riff and ululating synth, followed by a nifty melodic lead on the baglama and then Yuli’s enchanting vocals. The song is a new interpretation of an old piece by beloved 70’s Turkish folk singer Şakir Öner. This new version differs from the original in the more bright and poppy feel, conveyed by the 6/8 rhythm, and the addition of a whole new section by the band. 

"Deli Deli" is released on 27th November with "Big Baglama" on the flip, and if you've checked that one already then you've surely bought a copy! Destined to be a hit at your next post-lockdown breakers jam and very much destined to sell out. So don't sleep!
