Yakın çevrem zaten biliyor; bu toplama serisine başlama fikri uzun bir süredir aklımın bir köşesindeydi. Küçük yaşta alternatif ve sonrasında underground müziğin farklı türlerine ilgi duysam da, iyi pop’a olan zaafım hep yerinde saydı - hele ki 90’larda :)

O dönemde altyapılarına bu kadar dikkat etmediğim bazı albümleri yeniden keşfettim (bazıları o zaman da kendini belli ediyordu bu arada). Kasetlerde yer almayan, sadece CD ya da dijital versiyonlarda bulunan bonus parçaları da avlamaya başladım ve bu av hala sürüyor. Ana temamız house etkisinde 90'lar Türkye'si pop'u diyebiliriz kısaca, ezbere bildiğimiz şeyler de var içinde...

Bu parçaların düzenlemelerini ve remixlerini yapan prodüktörlere, 7-17 yaşlarımı geçirdiğim Hatay Dörtyol'da her gün uğradığım Mega Müzik Market’e, İstanbul ve Hatay arasında kimi zaman gullümde akan ve kimi zaman da ağır bully'lenen küçük kendime...

My close friends already know; the idea of starting this compilation series had been lingering in the back of my mind for quite some time. Although I’ve been interested in various alternative and later underground music genres since a young age, my soft spot for good pop has always remained—especially in the '90s. :)

Back then, I didn’t pay much attention to the production of some albums, but I’ve been rediscovering them lately (though some did stand out even back then, to be fair). I also started hunting down those bonus tracks that weren’t on cassettes, only on CDs or digital versions, and this hunt is still ongoing. We can say that the main theme is '90s pop from Turkey with a house influence—though there are a few songs we know by heart in there…

Shoutout to the producers who arranged and remixed these tracks, to Mega Müzik Market in Hatay Dörtyol, where I spent every day between the ages of 7-17, and to my younger self, bouncing between Istanbul and Hatay, sometimes having a blast, sometimes getting heavily bullied…

Recorded in Cambodia.

Kori'nin Genel Maceraları

90’lar Türkiye’si… daha mı yaşanabilirdi?
Yoksa simülasyon rengini tam belli etmemişken,
cahiliye 2.0 daha mı güzeldi?
Pop daha mı ka idi, yoksa yalnızca house etkisinde olduğu için mi daha OK’di?
MMM02 geçmişe dönük manasız kazı çalışması da olabilir,
balkon danslarına fon müziği de.
Herkes hak ettiğini yaşar :P
Alo Yaz? Alo Karma?

90s Turkey… was it more livable back then?
Or was it just that the simulation hadn’t fully shown its true colors,
and ignorance 2.0 felt somehow sweeter?
Was pop music actually more refined,
or did it just sound better under house influence?
MMM02 could be a meaningless dig into the past,
or just a soundtrack for dancing on balconies.
Everyone gets what they deserve :P
Yo, Summer? Yo, Karma?
