Check out this wonderful artist, releasing music since 1996. After hearing only one track previously (on Arabian Travels 2) I was completely stunned when hearing his full lenght albums. The energy and the vibration is incredible! And the music's very cool, could be played in any party. I love sufi spirituality and whirling dances where all the boundaries melt and the reality becomes one.

I've got the album "Nar" and it's a really nice mix of modern and traditional. How about the other three albums or other releases?

arkin allen is also very popular as a dj in clubs. but i think he plays some sort of trance.

Saw him performing with couple live musicians year ago with "swirling dervish kinda female dancer" - had a blast. Sufi Traveler CD is ok, but seeing him live is much better

I've been listening to "Su", "Nar" and "Seyahatname" very much over the past nine months or so and they just keep on growing on me. And people get so touched when I'm playing some tracks from them in dj gigs...
Arkin Allen released an album last year called "Fusion Monster" ... I haven't checked that out yet ...

Dede's Doublemoon Records' East 2 West - series is also a fantastic way to get in touch with other great turkish artists ruling Istanbul at the moment

I've seen Mercan Dede live two weeks ago in a world music festival, It was really great!
With four musicians one dj and a dacing girl the music and the show were really specials and nice, I enjoyed! |

I bought all mercan dede's albums since i discovered sufi dreams.. all chef-d'oeuvres.
He rarely plays in montreal though , last time i saw him was at the jazz fest in 2001
