about

Producer Atakan Senlen aka Otuk filters Istanbul melodies through the sounds of Berlin’s urban sprawl, each subtle sonic gesture revealing the deep connections between the two cities. Senlen’s debut EP as Otuk, Gunyuzum masterfully transmutes both ancient and modern sonics into sprawling psychogeographies, conjuring palpable memories and emotion borne aloft by hypnotic rhythms.

Born in Turkey but now based in Berlin, Senlen imbibes a truly omnivorous array of influences in his music, blending traditional Turkish and Arabic music and Anatolian psych with organic house and electronic music.

On title track “Gunyuzum” (in English: “My Light of Day”), Senlen sculpts an entrancing sonic narrative to open the EP. Accompanied by psychedelic guitar sounds, ritualistic darbuka and clap rhythms, Otuk's deep and intensive vocals guide the listener through mystical tone fields.

Taking inspiration from a poem Senlen had written years ago and rediscovered, “Mubashir” summons brooding, ominous atmospheres. The ethereal Oud sample threaded throughout the piece navigates a sea of dancing souls in the warm wind of a spring night on the shores of Istanbul.

Closing track “Liquor in the Palace” recasts Senlen’s traditional influences in a much more contemporary setting. The producer’s spiritual vocals provide an authentic ottoman palace experience, while smooth liquid synths phrases and sampled liquor glasses illuminate the room by standing in the shadow.

Otuk explains the idea behind Gunyuzum: “This is a chaotic square where the contrasts and dilemmas meet together and are fused into each other. It is a set of times and places where inconsistencies become consistent, where contradictions are gathered with a harmony.” Gunyuzum invites the listener to discover where they stand between opposite poles in these clouds of entangled contrasts.”
