Title:	Esraj
Label:	LESSIZMORE (BELGIUM)
Format:	12"
Price:	$12.00
Catalog #:	LIZM 006EP

"Between Istanbul and Essen, Ahmet Sisman has been moving through different worlds. Influenced by the mystique music of the Sufi-culture, his sound is combining traditional elements in a unique and post-modern way. Ahmet has created his own style very quickly, thus he released his 2 first EPs on Lessizmore and Stock5 in the beginning of 2008 and he already got the attention of all the big names in the scene. Sven Väth played his track 'Buiya' at Cocoon at Amnesia and finally licensed it for his mix session Sound of the Ninth Season. Ahmet loves melting traditional instruments with new electronic beats, therefore all the tracks here are pushing forward these particularities. 'Esraj' begins with a classical French horn passed in a blur of sounds, later building up the tension with the Indian esraj instrument (sounding like European fiddles) and cheating with deliverance from a subtle rhythm. In the end, a Chinese bowed instrument called erhu closes this hectic trip. 'Loune,' on the second side of the vinyl, is some kind of cinematic travel along Indiana Jones and John Williams epic strings. It directly immerses the listener into a long mental run."

Title:	Yakin Ve Uzak... Near and Far
Label:	STOCK5 (GERMANY)
Format:	12"
Price:	$12.00
Catalog #:	STOCKLTD 002EP

"Stock5 develops the Ruhrpott. In the beautiful city of Essen near Cologne and Düsseldorf, we found a very interesting pot of freeworking freaks from outer space. One is Ahmet Sisman who now releases his debut EP on our label that hereby definitely finds new paths. Furthermore, we definitely think that it's worth it to release a new limited edition, cause even more the young Turkish producer delivered a whole package of amazing ideas. Yakin Ve Uzak... Near and Far is the first part of four trips through the world of music and brings us to the overwhelming continent Africa. Within this travel, we will meet as well as the Asian continent, Latin America and the Orient. A1 'Buiya': some people do believe in voodoo, some not, but it's not a matter of believing, it's a matter of feeling, seeing and living it. Ahmet lives and feels it as you instantly can hear in the second track of the EP. And so another hypnotic, ecstatic, but very sexy piece of music welcomes the morning. Or can you tell me somebody that doesn't like to dance with angels and demons around the fire while shamans and witches scream out of the forest. B1 'Ruhani': African pupils practice their last dance, the judgment day before their face while pure enthusiasm and raw feelings of being still alive get it in the lead. It's not art. It's their life. Goosebumps all over the dancefloor."
