Davulun Sesi Vol.2 Presents: Onra

Davulun Sesi Vol.2 Presents Onra

Davulun Sesi‘ (Sound of Drums) is an album by TektosagRecords, a collaboration of many beatmakers and instrumental hiphop producers from Turkey such as Levni, Grup Ses Beats, Ventochild, Da Poet and many more… You can download the first release, ‘Davulun Sesi Vol.1‘ (Sound of Drums Vol.1) by clicking here.

Good news is that a second release, ‘Davulun Sesi Vol.2‘ (Sound of Drums Vol.2), is coming out on February 1st and Onra is the headline of the release party on February 8th, Friday. There will also be leading names from Europe and Istanbul such as Sotu the Traveller, Grup Ses Beats, Levni , Sine&Noise, Sami Baha, Kamufle, Gantz&Stiver, Da Poet performing. The event will take place in two different locations, Babylon and Babylon Lounge. And if you still haven’t got your tickets, you can get them here.

Arnaud Bernard, mostly known by his stage name Onra, is a beatmaker born in Germany to French parents and with Vietnamese roots. With Chinese and Vietnamese records he brought back from a trip to Vietnam, Onra made a ground-breaking album, ‘Chinoiseries’, that blends Chinese pop music influences with hiphop. There’s this thing about French producers: they are very successful at making dance, hiphop and electronic music and Onra is a very good example. He also released his later albums Long Distance and Chinoiseries Pt.2 and I’m crossing my fingers for him to play my favourite songs at the party.

I already got my tickets and am very excited! I will be sharing photos and maybe some videos from the party with you. Here’s a playlist of my favorite songs of the artists that will perform at the event. Listen and warm up for the party!

Camel – Mirage

If you remember, I made a post about Camel‘s “Music Inspired by The Snow Goose“ album recently. For the ones who haven’t seen it yet, you can find the post here . Today, I will go back a bit to talk about the band’s second album, “Mirage. As you can see above, the cover of the album very much resembles a  ”Camel” cigarettes packet. The American division of Camel cigarettes requested the withdrawal of the design to avoid legal procedures. The album has been licensed to Janus record and the sleeve was quickly redesigned only in the US.

The Best Music You’ve Never Heard No.2 – Yellow Magic Orchestra

Yellow Magic Orchestra was probably one of the most important pioneers of electronic music. Once people discovered the limitless possibilities of the synthesizer, the sequencer and the drum machine, the monopoly of American rock’n roll was destroyed. Three Japanese men, with their geeky devices,  formed a group that changed the understanding of popular music forever.
