"DALGA - A Selection of '80s Pop Oddities from Turkey" is the first compilation to bring together rare Turkish pop oddities from the 1980s, and the first compilation to explore how new studio technologies shaped the sound of 1980s Turkish pop and dance music. Features six tracks that were released only on rare cassette tapes. In the aftermath of Turkey's 1980 military coup, collective music-making gradually gave way to studio-based production, as drum machines, samplers, and synthesizers took center stage. From the early 1980s onwards, these technologies became increasingly popular among Turkish musicians and producers. While some sought to emulate the global pop sound of the era, like Neriman's "Sever Gibi" and Füsun Önal's "Takma Kafana", others experimented by blending electronic elements with Arabesque, as heard in Mehmet Pekün's "Anca Gidersin" and Zorbeyler's "Bir Mumdur", or with Anatolian pop influences, such as the studio project Tele Tempo's "Şu Samsunun Evleri" and "Havada Bulut". Let these waves carry you through the electrified tides of 1980s Turkey. DALGA is compiled by Istanbul-based beat maker and digger extraordinaire Grup Ses.
