The two tracks feature the remixing talents of Altın Gün band members Jasper Verhulst (bass) and Chris Bruining (percussion). Both Verhulst and Bruining are always searching for new ways of (re)creating music and these remixes were one way to discover new paths in the music they fashion as part of Altın Gün. Kalk Gidelim is a cumbia driven remix, inspired by the cumbia villera of Argentina, while Su Sızıyor is a digidub style remix with lots of King Tubby inspired reverbs and phasers.

While most of the material here has been a familiar part of Turkish life for many years - some of it associated with the late national icon as a leading voice in the emergent global psych-rock scene. Explosive, funky and transcendent. Altın Gun, for example: they sound utterly Turkish, but only one of the Netherlands based band’s six members was actually born there. And while their new album, \u003ci\u003eGece\u003c\/i\u003e, is absolutely electric, filled with funk-like grooves and explosive psychedelic textures, what they play - by their own estimation - is folk music. Neşet Ertaş – it’s definitely never been heard like this before. This music is electric Turkish history, shot through with a heady buzz of 21st century intensity.

They took the music played during the festive occasions and serious formalities of their childhood, folk songs backed by a traditional Turkish string instrument called the saz. To this, they added the techniques and vibes of their times and the result then went on to become a distinct Turkish sound during 1972-1977 which even today still sounds rich, danceable and (alright then!) heavily mind bending.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe Altin Gün band members first encountered this music in various ways: through their upbringing, via friends or after finding life changing compilations in record shops.
