About Ayyuka

Active since 2001, the group AYYUKA, originally from Istanbul, was one of the first to look in the rear-view mirror of Turkish music of the 1970s. Without falling into retro-mania, they reincarnate Turkish Psychedelic Rock with a sound of their own. The inspirations of Dick Dale, John Fursciante and their local heroes Erkin Koray and Orhan Gencebay refocus their music around the electric guitar, but their fascination with film music and improvisation brings unexpected bounces to their songs.

Right after their eponymous debut on 2007, the band shared stage with Sonic Youth and Johnathan Richman. Heading to a completely instrumental music, 2015 studio recording “Sömestr” and 2019 Maslak Halayı have already become a cult album for record collectors.

Theyʼve collaborated with Orlando Julius, Ilhan Ersahin. Their last opus Maslak Halayı happened to be a creative collaboration with Calibro35 genius, Grammy Awarded producer Tommaso Colliva. Album’s hit track “Yukadans” reached a considerable global appearance on especially after being used on various commercial and artistic films.

For every new album Ayyuka is experimenting with techniques of music writing and flirting with genres like afro-beat, funk, dub or arabesque. 2022 seem to be another productive year for them, including their “pandemic room-to-room sessions” getting ready to publish, as well as new single tracks are waiting on the pipeline.
