BaBa ZuLa describe their sound as ‘Psychedelic Istanbul Rock ’n Roll’ – a heady mixture that laces the classic Anadolu psych sound with modern electronics, dubwise studio smarts, and fiery left-field sonic radicalism. Founded in 1996 after the break up of experimental band ZeN, BaBa ZuLa began by scoring for film, before developing a style that pushed the classic Turkish psych sound of the 1970s forward into the 21 st century.

In keeping with Night Dreamer’s one-take, live-to-disc ethos, for this session BaBa ZuLa rocked it live in the studio, bringing the fiery energy of a gig performance to a raw studio session so expansive it required a 2LP to do it justice. ‘It was a musicians dream,’ says Ertel of the session. ‘Cutting direct to disc and doing a whole album live from start to finish, this was a challenge for us!’ he explains. ‘This way you cannot hide anything – you have to play the whole side of the record, in the best way, with all your flaws! he says. ‘With this record you can get as close as you can to a live BaBa ZuLa experience’.

The result is an extraordinary recording that documents one of the world’s heaviest bands at a decisive moment in their twenty-five year history, putting everything into a live session that captures their visionary expression of classic Anadolu psychedelia at its most naturally incandescent.
