The resulting concoction of songs draws on cross continental influence yet at its core is a desire to illuminate the vivid qualities of classic Turkish music, honouring the Anatolian folk and psych artists from this golden era of music. From the funky disco beat of Disko Arabesque to the celestial lead guitar in Yağmur Yağar Taş Üstüne, the band add fire and flair to time-honoured pieces of Turkish music giving them new meanings. Covering important tracks such as female singer Kamuran Akkor’s track Olurmu Dersin, and musician and guitarist Zafer Dilek’s Yekte, the album covers an array of original pieces of different musical styles and sounds, that once have and continue to flow out of Turkey. \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Batov Records","offers":[{"title":"LP - Yellow \/ Red Splatter","offer_id":51432514912587,"sku":"R8149-7072","price":24.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"Red LP","offer_id":50443753718091,"sku":"2016060","price":22.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"LP","offer_id":50443752374603,"sku":"1145397","price":22.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"CD","offer_id":50443753324875,"sku":"1154041","price":8.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0867\/1120\/6219\/files\/833e29fc-9257-47e8-b5ba-420d4e64f0f5_thumbnail_4096.jpg?v=1727019918"},{"product_id":"02","title":"2","description":"\u003cp\u003eKicking hard on the heels of Satellites:01, released as album of the week at Rough Trade last Summer, here is the next installment of the extraordinary journey of Johnny Vic - the Englishman living in Copenhagen who writes, plays and produces as Satellites. Having completed 01, and played select shows in London around its release, Johnny felt compelled to go back into the studio to deliver a next set of songs about the ascent of man, continuing the story arc of his first record. In a period when the tortured muddle of being a strong, silent man is finally being debated in the media, here is a record that documents the drama of reconciling the holy trinity of being a Son, Father and Partner with the drive of an Artist. Untangling a man's world. Searching for clarity, colour and perspective. Enmeshed in what Johnny calls 'humanized electronics', these songs are acutely aware of a future legacy for a young man feeling out of time and place. 02 channels the emotional and sonic precision of classic Talk Talk, with moments of unashamed pop, raw intimacy, and spooked electronica. The bonus disc is a 10-track live performance of tracks from 01, 02, a cover of Kraftwerk's 'The Model' and a completely new track, recorded in Saint Saviour's Church, Hampstead, London. Featuring a drum machine, guitar, piano, cello and a 16-piece choir, this is an entirely fresh take on the Satellites sound.Deluxe Double Coloured Vinyl Edition with CD.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Hoop Music","offers":[{"title":"LP | x2","offer_id":50491215020363,"sku":"364444","price":22.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"CD","offer_id":50491215446347,"sku":"364443","price":12.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0867\/1120\/6219\/files\/78a60b8b-1a35-43ad-9ae5-bd8207c11d6e_thumbnail_4096.jpg?v=1727683289"},{"product_id":"seni-sen-oldudun-ycin-sevdim","title":"Seni Sen Olduðun Ýçin Sevdim","description":"\u003cp\u003eSatellites return to Batov Records essential Middle Eastern Groove 45s series with another irresistible pair of fresh takes on Turkish psych and folk. On the A-side, the four-piece tackle \"Seni Sen Olduðun Ýçin Sevdim\", a lesser-known gem by Arabesque pioneer Hakký Bulut, with the force of The Stooges crossed with the JBs. The song kicks off with a mighty swathe of synth before Ariel Harrosh on bass and Raz Man on drums launch an aggressive groove, crowned by Itamar Klüger on electric saz. Before you can catch your breath, Yuli Shafriri beautifully and clearly voices the infectious melody. On the flip, Satellites deliver another deadly instrumental jam, putting on a raw and uptempo psych-rock spin, à la Jefferson Airplane, on the traditional \"Saskin\". This version is tailor-made for toe-tapping and dancing in a safer, freer world. Satellites met and bonded over a shared love for Turkish psych. Ariel and Raz happened to be looking for a saz player whilst Itamar, obsessed with Anadolu rock, collecting records, and attempting to emulate his heroes on a bargain saz, was looking for a band! Rather than attempting exact facsimiles of these gems from another time and place, the band allows the songs to run through them, capturing the influences and experiences of musicians who grew up in the 90s in Tel Aviv, listening to psych and rock, Led Zeppelin to Rage Against the Machine. Operating as a full democracy from the start, they continue to tighten their chops by busking regularly in a flea market in Jaffa.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Batov Records","offers":[{"title":"Black | 7\"","offer_id":50529992114507,"sku":"1129549","price":11.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0867\/1120\/6219\/files\/a55a45e7-e3fb-4109-b156-81ccf345f6c6_thumbnail_4096.jpg?v=1728069817"},{"product_id":"aylar","title":"Aylar","description":"\u003cp\u003eŞatellites blast back into orbit on Aylar delivering a bold evolution on the psychedelic folk-meets-groove sound they established on their acclaimed debut album.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eHeavily influenced by the wave of psychedelic rock fused with traditional folk music that swept across Turkey in the 60s and 70s, Şatellites’ self-titled debut album received international acclaim.

This reimagining of a traditional Türküler—a Turkish folk song by the prolific saz-playing singer-poet Aşık Ali Doğan—transforms it into a modern psychedelic funk masterpiece. Kluger’s saz and Mishali’s synths intertwine seamlessly, underpinned by Ariel Harrosh’s infectious basslines and Yaish’s dramatic drumming, all culminating in Rotem’s husky, emotive vocals. Lyrically, the track narrates two elderly men lamenting the state of the world—a timeless theme.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eOne of the album’s standout surprises, “Midnight Sweat” reveals a darker, sultry side of the band. Rotem delivers a steamy late-night lullaby over a slinky disco-rock groove. Developed collaboratively, the track began as a sketch by bassist Ariel Harrosh, before Itamar added a melody and Rotem crafted lyrics in Turkish. The song tells a passionate love story, punctuated with sensual imagery.“Hot Jazz” ventures into cinematic territory, as the band flexes their jazz and funk chops. The hard-hitting groove is destined to energise breakdancers.
