What are we listening to right now..

My wife discovered a wonderful playlist on Tidal called "Turkish Funk" which has opened a treasure trove of legitimately captivating 1970s funk, psychadelic, etc.. It transports the listener to a hazy huka lounge in Istanbul in the 1970s, probably a lot of mind-altering substances floating around as well. Here is one of the gems from the playlist...

Lucky you.. This genre's actual name is "Anatolian Rock". I've been into this since early 90's. Sadly, most of music lovers spend their lives without being unaware of such genres.
I can recommend you to follow "Anatolian Rock Revival" channel on YT.
There are some modern groups and soloists that do homage performances to this unique genre of the past. e.g:

 

[Somafunk]

Oh my giddy god......new mogwai track released and new album coming.... video contains lots of dogs

 

[XMechanik]

I wish there were 3am TV shows like this in my area...

Nice mix from Thylacine with heavy Arabic musical influence

Nice one. And, btw, there's some boffins who think they're a step closer to bringing back the Thylacine from extinction. [I'm thinking of the Tasmanian Tiger]
