The Berlin DJ and producer İpek İpekçioğlu, the multi-instrumentalist, composer, and sound designer Ceyhun Kaya and the culturally confused singer Petra Nachtmanova present their innovative cooperation: a powerful as well as sensitive mix of ancient Anatolian songs, Eastern European melodies, living and dead languages, electronic sounds and solos with traditional folk music instruments to then create a rich Anatolian Electro Folk Pop sound.
The result is a multilingual album - an amazing and rare mixture that combines Turkish, Russian, Polish, English and German.

İpek İpekçioğlu, who is known to us as DJ İpek from the queer music scene, met Ceyhun Kaya when he was still playing in the left-wing Turkish band Bandista. With Petra Nachtmanova first the single "Uyan Uyan" (Katermukke 2016, Beatport best list), then "The way I Do" (Sony/Epic Istanbul 2018) together with Ceyhun Kaya and finally Karmatürji as a band.
A musical attempt at coexistence and a true Berlin project, representing Germany's two largest immigrant groups, through the roots of the band itself and the capital's cultural landscape.
