Originated in Ankara, Turkey; @ikarumusic gets its main inspiration from the timeless and placeless resorts of human culture, intertwined both with beats and notes of antiquity as well as the mind-bending bleeps of synth-scales. Insisting upon a genre-free overall style, the sound of Ikaru resonates within a range of eclectic electronic beats, indigenous acoustic instruments and psychedelic sloth-techno, sometimes revisiting an ambient, downtempo style.
In its essence, Ikaru seeks for a music that is "capable of expressing the inexpressible after silence" in Huxley's words.

Enkidu, as we know from the Epic of Gilgamesh, represents the wild fabric of our kind. We believe that we all shaped ourselves to counter-cross our natural boundaries for thousands of years. We pushed ourselves and even our archetypes to become ‘more’. But in fact, what we should achieve is the acceptance of our desperate need for balance. Inside and out, rather than pushing and punishing. And as an expressive part of this story, we embraced no one but Herodot, the archaic storyteller of the Mediterranean lands, who once said that the worst thing in the world is to be full of wonderful thoughts and not being able to express them.

" What we are trapped inside is the neglectance of our monoliths; those which connect us to our roots, emotions and essence. This EP is a remembrance of this essence of life and stories, which we humbly dared to speak of. "

In Enkidu EP, there will be 1 more original track, called Herodot; and 2 remixes by @mmakossa & @sound_shapes and @holedcoin

Originating from ancient Greek, Mousikē is the union of 3 things; words with our without meaning, physical moves that we call dance and the evolution of music.

Rising from the land of muses, Anatolia; Mousikē started as a Soundcloud page & private parties in Istanbul. Now it turned into a series of musical gatherings all around the world, which ended up as a vibrant community with a great variety of colours and tastes.

With launch of Mousikē Records, roots of our young tree are expanding to various channels like Spotify, Beatport & other music platforms to grow & give more goods to wider community; and eventually die and decompose to its core elements which will become life & inspiration to other livings in the universe.
