Kept Records is back with a new 7inch record, from Turkish producer/musician – Alpman.
Alpman is an 18 year old Turkish musician and producer, who picked up and the guitar at 6, it’s now 12 years later he’s blending fuzzed-out bağlama inspired guitar riffs, a driving beat and the Hammond B3 to create distinctive and atmospheric instrumental cuts. Influenced by funk, psychedelic rock, afrobeat and soul jazz, Alpman creates a sound that feels familiar but that is somehow completely fresh.
The a-side, “tintm,” is a break-filled track, and although this is not Turkish music, the fuzzed-out bağlama inspired guitar riff cannot be unheard as it carries things to an absolute hypnotizing groove.
On the flip, the groove comes just as quick and you’ll hear some flavours of trip-hop, spy and lounge music, all of which will get you moving and tripping like a “Hypnotic Redhead.”
