  • Description

    A complete album dedicated to one single song might be uncommon to a lot of folks – still, in certain musical genres such a thing is an art form to the highest degree. If a song has got that certain something... a collection of versions and reinterpretations of it can open a lot of new horizons and interesting angles. Any which way: the story behind those 'certain' songs is always worthwhile much more than only a few minutes. 'Istanbul 1:26 a.m.' is definitely one of these songs.
    Turkish-German movie director Fatih Akin handpicked 'Istanbul 1:26 a.m.' as the title track for his highly successful, award winning documentary film on the Istanbul music scene - 'Crossing The Bridge' in 2005. The addictive Orient Expressions song was destined to make its way around the globe, touching a lot of people’s minds and hearts. A further compilation entry on the famous Buddha Bar series paved the global-scale perspective even more and triggered further licensing to other prestigeous comps. 'Istanbul 1:26 a.m.' has come a long way to finally being regarded as a musical blueprint for a contemporary fusion between East and West.
    "Hypnotic ambience served on a warm bed of digital undertones, darbuka and underground beats. Perfect for the chill room. Love it." - Nitin Sawhney
    "Fine downtempo jazz with a fine ethnic percussion touch - good and uplifting vibe!" - Richard Dorfmeister
    "As Cinematic as it is deep, moody & delightful, Soundtracking Istanbul's lonely, early hours." - Quantic
