A profound musical package from the Dutch-Turkish artist, Okitap - Sis, is a cultural clash between his Turkish roots and his affinity for industrial, techno, gabber and earnest sonic exploration. EP opener “Cicek Suyu” plays out like Vangelis moved Blade Runner to Istanbul and replaced his Yamaha CS-80 with a Tulum, a traditional bagpipe known to Turkey. It’s dense, dark and intimidating. Luring you in to listen closer. Track 2, “Batarya” haunts and engulfs, breathing down your neck as you press in closer to make out the whispers before “Karsiyaka” punches you in the face. A virulently potent 90s goth sludge groove featuring the slicing Okitap vocals that challenge you to listen up. The EP’s closers “Nefes Al” and “Sis” lul you back out as you crawl away, a canvas for Okitap’s transporting, cinematic sound design adeptness.
