lovely Mystical Electronics!' (richard Dorfmeister / Tosca / Kruder & Dorfmeister)

Ah! Kosmos - Das Ist Ein Beständiges Wunder, In Dem Wir Hier Mittendrin Stecken. Beim Hören Ihrer Tracks Bleibt Immer Wieder Nur Stauen. Den Soundtrack Zu Love & Awe Spielt Seit Einem Halben Jahrzehnt Basak Günak, Sound-designerin, Produzentin Und Multi- Instrumentalistin Aus Istanbul.

Auch Auf Ihrem Zweiten Album - beautiful Swamp Verbindet Sie Elastische Bis Hart Knisternde Percussions Mit Melodischen Soundlandschaften. Dabei Gehören Der Universalismus Der Musik Und Persönlicher Freiheit Untrennbar Zusammen: Tief Im Gewebe Ihrer Tracks Aus Downbeat Und Deep House, Aus Türkischen Klangtraditionen Und Exotischen Revieren Stecken Auch Ängste, Glück Und Düsternis: Günaks Musik Fängt Auf, Was Sie In Ihrem Leben Zwischen Istanbul Und Berlin Verarbeitet Und Überwindet. Den Hörenden Bleiben So Nicht Nur Soundscapes Zu Erkunden, Sondern Vielschichtige, Emotionale Kosmen, Die Mit Jeder Neuen Klangschicht Ihre Widerhaken Ins Hirn Schlagen.

Schon Mit Ihrer Ersten Lp bastards' Bewies Sich Günak Als Grenzüberschreiterin, Oszillierte Zwischen Dem Mut Zum Glückseligen Flow Und Avantgardistischem, Düsteren Post-rock. Mit Ihrem Neuen Album beautiful Swamp', Das 2017 In Berlin Und Istanbul Entstanden Ist, Be- Wegt Sich Ah! Kosmos Weiter Jenseits Aller Genre-grenzen: Günak Baut Aus Polyrhythmen Und Folktronischem Instrumentarium Eine Mystische Klangwelt, In Die Man Hineinsinken, In Die Man Sich Forttragen Lassen Kann. Für Ihre Organischen Klang-cluster Hat Sie Auf Diesem Album Ihre Eigene Stimme Als Material Entdeckt, Wird Als Person Greifbarer.

Ihre Musik Ist Körperlich, Trägt Würdevoll Spuren Von Auseinandersetzungen. Die Transzendenz Von - beautiful Swamp Ist Eine Flucht, Ja, Aber Eine Nach Vorne. Der Titelgebende Sumpf Vielleicht Auch Eine Ursuppe, Aus Der Immer Neue Klangwesen Schießen. Mit Dem Druck Gelebten Lebens Und... Es Sind Überirdisch Schöne, Allesamt.

Ah! Kosmos Arbeitet In Erster Linie Allein. Wenn Günak Sich Auf Musikalische Begegnungen Einlässt, Dann Auf Besonders Intime Und Intensive. Wie Die Mit Der Jazzsängerin Elif Çaglar, Die Im Song - beyond Dreams Zu Hören Ist, Oder Mit Dem Gitarristen Özgür Yilmaz, Zu Hören Auf Dem Track - wide . Selen Ansen, Eine Der Wichtigsten Türkischen Intellektuellen Ihrer Generation, Hat Für Günaks Neues Werk Ein Gedicht Verfasst, Mit Dem Passenden Titel in The Dark Woods'.

Ihr Wichtigster Partner Aber: Das Publikum. Ah! Kosmos, Das Ist Genauso Sehr Ein Live-projekt - Und Eines, Bei Dem Die Musik Unmittelbar Auf Die Stimmung Im Floor Reagiert. Bei Jedem Ihrer Auftritte Nehmen Ihre Klanglandschaften Eine Neue Gestalt An. Sie Performt Solo Oder Begleitet Von Einem Gitarristen, War Bereits Support Für Acts Wie Sigur Rós Und Jonny Greenwood's Junun Project (barbican Hall) Und Spielte Auf Wichtigen Festivals Jenseits Aller Schubladen, U.a. Auf Dem Sónar Festival Barcelona Und Dem Venice Electro Festival, Dem Tokyo Electronic Music Of Arts Festival, Dem, Prague Quadrennial Und Dem Arena Theater Festival Nürnberg.

Zudem Komponiert Sie Für Zeitgenössische Tanz- Und Theaterproduktionen, Kurzfilme Und Perfomances. Im Frühjahr 2018 Nahm Sie An Dem Projekt sonár Calling Gj273b' Teil Und Schickte Eine Elektronisch Verfremdete Version Ihres Songs i Don't Belong Here' Ins All. Wahrscheinlich Fühlt Man Sich Ihrem Sound Sehr Verbunden, Dort Draußen.

One of my first record releases was on Traum Schallplatten in 2007. I was living in Berlin and Traum was at its peak launching acts like Extrawelt, Dominik Eulberg, Gabriel Anada, Minilogue, Fairmont… The era of melodic minimal…

The release of Luftlust hit the big DJ's like Sven Väth etc. And I was truly overwhelmed by the support. But the version on the 12" was actually pitched up 5 BPM. And in the end the mastering was not in my personal preference. Watering my feel of it, once or twice a year people actually ask me to do a remaster. Over the years it has been a track circulating the web and playlists, haunting me.

Last year I dug in the past and actually wrote a masters exam in philosophy about being a youngster in the techno scene and how to keep up creativity while working with record labels. Somewhere in that process I decided to face the old ghost and make it happen. Time was ready for the re-release of Luftlust, on my terms on my own label Kranglan Broadcast.

Justus Köhncke Remix
For a time frame of a decade I have asked Kompakt veteran and Whirlpool Productions legend Justus Köhncke to do a remix on my Kranglan imprint. Herr Köhncke to me (and to everyone who has followed Kompakt) is one of a kind! A punk soul, dead serious while smiling, always putting hooks and fragments out of music history on Kompakt sound plates with precise grace… The last years he have replied he's been busy in the studio with Can member Irmin Schmidt, working on soundtracks but... suddenly one day when I wrote the man he said "I love Luftlust, send me the stems".

Listening to Justus interpretation I was blown away… like riding a cabrio through the German landscape of fields and deciduous forests a sunny day in late May! And wait for that outro bridge at 5:56! Like being hugged by the warm mother autumn.

Özgur Can Remix
Anjuna Deep cofounder Özgur Can and I have known each other since high school. Özgur was the first DJ I ever booked to one of my early raves in the forests of Nacka. From releasing our first records with our common buddy Petter on Peter Van Halls label 'Deep' we have walked a parallel path in life, Özgur with a wider span of releases and 100's of nights at sweaty dance floors. No one does the deep driven heartfull arpeggios like Özgur. They swell and they swirl. A true Music lover and true talent!

Lust
Time has flewn since 2007, and that winter break in Barcelona 2006 hanging out with James Holden and the Border gang at Razmataz… the weekend when I actually started working on Luftlust…

Working on a re-release of Luftlust I just got hit by lust to work a version of it from the position where I am at, the 2021 me. I went with lust and it just happened a late summer night in Stockholm being by myself for a brief moment doing what I love the most, making music.

Luftlust Original 120BPM Version
And at last the never released original version of the title track. Correct tempo as it was written. Mastered by Andreas Lubich aka Lupo, the very person to master this type of music if you take a brief glimpse at his back folder! Finally!

I love this project, and I love making it happen at Kranglan Broadcast. Bringing together thoughts and people you have thought of bringing together for a long time. Lust KLN014 is here.

lim. to 200 180Gr Vinyl!

Schnieke is rich and fruitful, yet carries a sadness within. A 5-string violin charts its melodious journey from Istanbul to Belin, accompanied by electronics, breakbeats, live drums and percussions. An authentic oriental funky mood keeps you in a trance or gets your body moving tribally…

This is Schnieke, a.k.a. Özgür Akgül, with his first studio album Hediye, or Gift. The album is intended as a gift to Özgür's grandmother, Hadiye, who was very important to him and to whom he dedicates a song. But his debut album will also come as a gift to anyone interested in how a sophisticated musical sensibility brings together electronic elements with stringed instruments of all kinds. Özgür plays the violins himself, as well as the analogue synths and drum machines. Guest musicians include Hasan Gözetlik (trumpet and trombone), Göksun Çavdar (saxophone), Korhan Erol (electric guitar and bass), Burhan Hasdemir and Baris Güney (live percussion), Zafer Tunç Resuloglu (live drums), John Gürtler (church organ) and the Istanbul Strings, Turkey’s most vibrant string ensemble.

Their diverse influences create a wide emotional range on Hediye - sometimes dark and melancholic, sometimes wild, groovy and danceable, somewhere between jazz, dub and electro, each song surprising in its own way. Despite the variety of the individual songs, a captivating pulse runs like a thread through Schnieke's first album. Incidentally, Özgür came up with the band name during a night out in a bar, when a friend explained to him what Berlin slang he absolutely had to know. He liked the sound of the word ‘schnieke’ – it means something approximating ‘snazzy’ - and perhaps he secretly also wanted to flatter himself a little! Well, shouldn't we all do that much more often?

Hediye consists of eight tracks, three of which are traditional: Aman Doktor comes from Istanbul, Özgür's birthplace, and is a homage to his own origins. Kadioglu comes from the Aegean region and features the zeybek dance form which, despite its ‘standardisation’ in recent times, still summons up the ecstasy, inspired improvisation and musical finesse of its historical roots. The other five tracks are Özgür's own compositions, with Pasali providing the soundtrack for the 2010 Turkish feature film Memleket Meselesi. Creating compositions for film has been Özgür’s primary passion since his time as a student at the Filmakademie Baden-Württemberg. You can hear that in his music, because on his debut album Özgür does completely without vocal support, the instrumental depth stands for itself, and, in the style of The Cinematic Orchestra, space is created for us to develop our own images while listening – it is a soundtrack for the film we want to make of it.
