On Saturday 16th August, we welcomed Verdant Recordings label boss Andy Green to Inverted Audio Record Store in Peckham to celebrate the release of ‘Rain on Window‘, the latest EP from Istanbul-based producer Havantepe.
Havantepe is the alias of Turkish-German producer and DJ Ismail Genc, co-founder of the Sublime Porte label. Born near Stuttgart, he relocated to Istanbul in 1994 and has been producing and performing techno since 1999.
Over the years, Havantepe has released on a range of respected imprints, including Dutch label spclnch, 200 Records, and Baum Records. His latest outing arrives via Vertex — a joint venture between Verdant Recordings (Andy Green) and Exalt Records (Jamie Bargeman).
‘Rain on Window’ EP features three solo productions alongside two remixes, weaving together minimal dub techno textures and atmospheric electronics, crafted to captivate even the most discerning listeners.
A big thank you to everyone who joined us for the launch. You can check out photos from the event now on our Instagram and listen back to the recording via Soundcloud.
