Derdiyoklar Ikilisi “Disko Folk” Guerssen Records
When it comes to bizarre and out of this world records, this reissue takes the prize for most extreme in that area for anything we have been getting in from the labels this year. Derdiyoklar Ikilisi are examined with their third full length Disko Folk on Guerssen Records. The first time seeing the light of day outside of Europe since it was first issued, this album collects really wild electro-folk psyche music at the hands of some of the oddest instruments I have ever heard of.
Much like Selda and other fusion musicians in Turkey, Derdiyoklar Ikilisi as undefinable and their recording career was very short lived because of it. Derdiyoklar Ikilisi shapes itself into a really synth derivative without a lot of the fuzz guitar and strident vocals Selda was known for. Derdiyoklar Ikilisi’s world is most commonly known as Anadolu pop and remains one of the oddest creations in the wavering cultural revolution in sound that swept this globe in the 60′s and 70′s.
Recorded in the end of the 70′s, the cover for Disko Folk alone lets you know what type of ride you are in for. The album is pressed in a limited edition of 500 copies and serves as the next chapter into Turkey’s experimental music scene that is still for the most part hidden in albums waiting to be reissued and brought back to the surface.

Anadolu Pop doesn’t get weirder than this! Back in 1979, two Turkish guys armed with electro- saz, guitar, drums and synthetizers were hitting the Turkish market in Germany where they lived, playing their sets of traditional flavoured electro- folk in weddings and circumcision feasts for Turkish emigrants in Germany. That crazy is the story, that crazy is their sound!!! - Guerssen Recodings

Porter Records was born in 2005 out of a love for crate digging in the basements of record shops. Porter’s founder, Luke Mosling, has a talent for finding the obscure, beautiful and strange recordings that may have previously gone unheard by a larger audience. This talent started the reissue portion of the Porter Records catalog.
When doing reissues, Porter works hard at creating strong relationships with the original artists or their estates. This allows Porter to respect not only the original vision of the artist and their recordings, but also to respect the vision the artist has for the future. Porter’s goal is to make these reissues more widely known and recognized as important pieces of art within their respected genres.
Porter Records is more than a reissue label. Porter has over 40 releases by modern composers and performers that bring something special to the current day music tapestry. Each release is like a hidden jewel providing its own unique color and brilliance. Porter Records is very proud to have such talented artists and a diverse catalog of genres in a time when the music industry is pumping out replica after replica.
