SNOWSTORM IN ISTANBUL...
It's not a very common thing here to see a snowstorm in Istanbul.
But hey , weather is changing everywhere.....but despite the storm around 250 people came out to see the premiere of Love Trio with masta Arto Tuncboyaciyan and Dj Logic. Love trio played 2 sets and it was Jesse Murphy's birthday , bassplayer of Love Trio. Kenny Wollesen was on drums and Ilhan Ersahin on rhodes and sax . Arto the magician on sounds and percussion and DJ Logic sitting in with us on turntables/sounds and beats. It was real cool, felt fresh and strong , one guy said , this is the new Weather Report..I duno about that but it was a nice comment. .Others were dancing all night long so I guess it was dancy ...and ofcourse dubby.
Next door to Babylon , at nublu Istanbul, were 2 great young piano players...Can Cankaya and Emir Ersoy. Both I heard rocked it , i didnt hear since I was playing next door. ...then the after party was at Nublu and then the after after party was at good friends Nevzat and Erol's spot called Otto . Which is a place that serves great pizza til 11 then turns into a great dj thang....
We had some fantastic dj's in the house, DJ Emekcan , who by the way has the biggest collection of Turkish psychadelic and funk from the 70's. Which is getting lots of attention around the world right now.I mean when I say collection....he has thousands and thousands in his apt and he is on his way to open a store . Dj Logic, who arrived today with Jesse and Alex from Tokyo is still in town . Istanbul great dj Baris K. Baris K was the one spinnin at Babylon inbetween and before Love Trio. Nublu records will release 3 12" vinyls of his edits of Turkish 70's funk. It's scheduled to be released in June. I will post a track here as soon as I get back to NYC , because here all blogs are closed down at the moment . You have to log into some secret websites to be able to access cause government here has shut down all blogs !!! Kinda crazy right...
awrite then....tomorrow is another day ...lots of new fresh music. The Nublu sound " the music of now "....
peace out...
