world, electronica, fusion, oriental, turkish

Istanbul based Orient Expressions is a collaboration between Can Utkan aka Dj Yakuza, Cem Yldz, and Richard Hamer. The threesome combines electrophonic sensibilities with Turkish Folk/ Alevi song and instrumental forms to render a well-integrated sound that moves through polyharmonic, jazzy vibes with darbuka and traditional percussion-laden grooves. Dj Yakuza provides the ideas and backbones of the tracks on which Orient Expressions will implement their signature sound.
