OZKENT, MUSTAFA

Here's a reissue of Mustafa Ozkent's masterpiece, originally released in Turkey in 1973. It's an all instrumental Turkish psych-funk album, filled with classic beats and breaks, that still inspires long time fans and first time listeners alike. Due to the funky rhythms, hypnotic percussion and heavy break beats, the LP is a holy grail amongst both DJ's and music fans. Only a handful of copies from the original pressing are known to exist, making this reissue a welcome addition to any record collection. Somewhat futuristic and hard to categorizate, the music blends traditional folk songs with elements of rock, jazz, blues, funk and psych, making them suitable for a new, modern generation.
