Today’s premiere is an exclusive preview from the self-titled debut LP of Turkish psych rockers MLDVA & Çınar Timur. 

MLDVA & Çınar Timur's debut LP is an electrifying collection of expertly recorded tracks that radiate energy, deep grooves, and hard-hitting breakbeats—everything you would expect from a classic Turkish sound, conjuring comparisons to Barış Manço, or more recent successors to the “Anadolu Psych” sound, such as Altın Gün or Derya Yıldırım & Grup Şimşek.

MLDVA originated in Krakow, Poland in 2013 as a DJ and production outfit. Their deep appreciation for Greek and Turkish folk and psych-rock music propelled them to transform into a full-fledged band, incorporating instruments like the saz, which is a hallmark of the Turkish sound. In 2015, they welcomed the talented Turkish instrumentalist Çınar Timur, completing the lineup for their debut album.

"Adımız Miskindir Bizim" starts with an enticing fusion of hip hop and funk, until the chord changes ground the song firmly in its Turkish roots. Çınar's microtonal electric guitar introduces recurring motifs that give the song a distinct character. The track also features captivating solo Rhodes action, creating a sense of urgency. The lyrics, originally written by Yunus Emre, criticize destructive values like holding grudges, which hinder love, friendship, and peace among people.

Mark your calendars! The much-anticipated debut album by MLDVA & Çınar Timur is set to release on Friday, June 30, 2023.

Voodoocuts kicks off the single with his stunning edit of "Soweto Disco". The original is already extremely infectious and energetic, with a grooving bass, opulent horn sections, wild organ parts and a relaxed reggae vibe. But Voodoocut manages to give the song an extra kick with his skillful rearrangement, drumming and the addition of loops, filters, effects and samples. The edit effortlessly takes the song into the present to deliver a killer cut for the dancefloor.

This is the dub we did for "Lucky In Love", this project involved recording new background vocals, a horn section, sax solo as well as percussion and various bits of lead vocals.

As you can see from the personnel listed, this definitely was a monster all-star production, with no expenses spared. The original tracks were amazingly well-recorded, and this mix still measures up against anything made today.
