Milan-based Beat Machine Records unveil the maiden voyage of their Terra Tempo series with ‘Beyoglurush’ from Istanbul-born, Berlin-based visionary Freedjom, aka Özgür Haznedar.
A bold opening chapter, this release is a love letter to Anatolia’s sonic heritage, reimagined through the lens of modern-day club alchemy. Rooted in timeless cultural soundscapes yet engineered for sweat-drenched dancefloors, Terra Tempo’s ethos is one of communion between the ancestral and the unknown. Across seven dazzling tracks, Haznedar crafts a frenetic mosaic of footwork-infused rhythms, humid breaks and Turkish percussion, rounded off with a remix from Hong Kong Community Radio affiliate DJ Strawberry.
‘Boulevard Of Mists’ casts a hypnotic spell from its very first notes. A swirling mist of introspective textures unfurls like smoke rising from a Hookah Pipe, laced with the profound poetry of Attila İlhan, whose words ripple through the track like whispers across the Bosphorus. The track brims with cinematic intent, pulling listeners into a dreamlike drift away from Istanbul’s glowing panorama. As it progresses, a whirlwind of frenzied percussion, bass-heavy kicks and dervish-like spins of rhythm conjure visions of hidden rituals in a dimly lit meyhane.
‘Beyoglurush‘ EP is scheduled for release 14th February via Beat Machine Records. Order a copy from Bandcamp.
