new sub label

We started a new collaboration. Together with Sarp Keskiner from Izmir (Turkey) we founded BONE UNION RECORDS in June 2020. In order to create a ground for mutual cultural exchange, this new 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.

The first two releases will be on Sarp’s own band The Old Ramblers. This week we start of with a single from the upcoming album.
