Berkay is known for his ability to blend instrumental world sounds with various scales, creating a unique sonic signature. His track "Turkish Market" is no exception. The melody that came to him in a dream was just the beginning. After waking up, Berkay started building the track by adding drums, pads, and other elements, bringing the sounds and colors of his dream to life.
"Turkish Market" is a celebration of Berkay's Turkish roots, a sonic journey into a vibrant and colorful market filled with the sounds, smells, and colors of Turkey. It's a track that transports listeners to a different place, a different time, a different reality.
