two new sync placements
Two tracks used in SyFy Resident Alien.
Two tracks from the Black and Tan catalogue:
were used last week in the latest episode (season 1 eps 3) of Resident Alien; an American science fiction mystery comedy-drama television series, based on a comic book of the same name by Peter Hogan and Steve Parkhouse, that premiered on January 27, 2021 on SyFy.
new EP BLu ACiD
today we released on BLu ACiD Records:
BA 522 – BLu ACiD feat John Blake EP
This EP is the result of a recording session that BLu ACiD did in 2016 with John Blake; a mysterious singer hailing from the Deep East of Holland.
Like moonshine, this music was slow brewed in seclusion during all-night-and-day marathons attended only by the two members and the ghosts of the past, who were eager to have their voices echo into the modern world. Two of the tracks (Gallows Tree and Georgia) can best described as a 21st century take on the work songs that Alan Lomax recorded in the Mississippi Delta in the 1950’s. All four tracks were released earlier as string of singles and now they are put together in this new EP.
The EP is released digital and available on all the download and streaming platforms. Here are the links to a few popular ones:
new track ElectroBluesSociety

new single Bone Union Records
Today we released a new single on Bone Union Records.
BUR 1103 – Sarp Keskiner & Kemal Begtas – Nobody Has No Time (to Listen to Music Completely)
Coming from overtly eclectic backgrounds by means of musical tastes and practices, “Nobody Has No Time (to Listen to Music Completely)” is a singular collaboration effort of two veterans of Smyrnian music scene. Recorded in 2017 and only broadcasted on Vimeo briefly before, the unreleased track suggests a unique blend, based on old school Mancunian beats resembling early 90’s, with a pinch of Mediterranean salt and a spoonful of gravy. This track shall be called and treated as a strict imposer of “Izmir sound”.
Kemal Begtaş: Irish bouzouki, bass, beats
Sarp Keskiner: electric rhythm and slide guitars
Recorded, arranged, edited and mixed by Kemal Begtas (Izmir, Turkey – 2017)
The single is released digital and available on all the download and streaming platforms. Here are the links to a few popular ones:
Bone Union Records was founded in June 2020 by Sarp Keskiner (TR) and Jan Mittendorp (NL) in order to create a ground for mutual cultural exchange. The label aims to document a neglected musical scene in Turkey not just by releasing archival material from mid-90’s to this date; but also keen on releasing brand new material from Turkish artists. Though the scope mainly consist rare recordings of local traditional blues, urban blues and gospel acts, the material varies wildly by inclusion of folk, funk, dub, noise and experimental releases, that goes way beyond the borders of conventional blues. Thus, the label supports any musical efforts to improve the chances of exchange of blues and neighboring genres between Netherlands and Turkey.
