"This playlist brings together artists based in Türkiye and members of the Turkish diaspora. Moving freely between bass music, footwork, deconstructed club, industrial pop, ambient and rave, the music gathered here captures a scene that thrives on experimentation rather than genre boundaries. Twenty tracks, countless directions, curated by Bant Mag."
Featuring tracks from Aportrait, Sami Baha, Granul and Grup Ses & Gökalp K, with releases from labels like Les Disques Bongo Joe, MONTAGE and Algorave İstanbul.
