One of Türkiye’s most seasoned percussionists, Ozan Kartal, steps forward with his first solo single “Zeibeck In The Desert” (Lavega Sound). The track binds the deep-rooted spirit of the zeybek dance to contemporary electronic textures: hand-played grooves, low-end drive, and desert-scale ambience. Think the cultural depth of Burhan Öçal meeting the textural elegance of Stavroz—both physical and emotional. In Kartal’s words: “This song is the modern echo of a heritage… Each note a step, each rhythm a breath.” Out now on all digital platforms. Discover him on Instagram.
