Recorded on 13 April 2022 in the KEXP radio studio in Seattle, this Altın Gün full performance sets Anatolian folk in dialogue with psychedelic rock. Based in Amsterdam, the Dutch-Turkish collective reworks the traditional Turkish repertoire of the 1960s-70s (Anadolu rock) with electric saz, analogue synths and a hypnotic groove. The KEXP live session, filmed with the station’s customary care, captures four tracks — ‘Ordunun Dereleri’, ‘Badi Sabah Olmadan’, ‘Cips Kola Kilit’ and ‘Kalk Gidelim’ — in warm sound and crisp images. Carried by the voices of Erdinç Ecevit and Merve Daşdemir, this live capture reveals a band seasoned on stage, able to sustain a world-music trance without ever losing precision. For fans of world and psych-folk, the session is an ideal gateway into Altın Gün’s universe. A live concert filmed, sourced and complete.
