Lost somewhere between the mysterious alleys of '70s Istanbul and the scorching sun and crystal blue sea of Jaffa, Tel Aviv, Şatellites self-titled debut album is set to be released on Batov Records. The Şatellites' sound shimmers between traditional Turkish folk and instrumentation, ethereal psychedelic guitar leads and groovy dancefloor baselines. The resulting concoction of songs draws on cross continental influence yet at its core is a desire to illuminate the vivid qualities of classic Turkish music, honoring the Anatolian folk and psych artists from this golden era of music. From the funky disco beat of Disko Arabesque to the celestial lead guitar in "Yağmur Yağar Taş Üstüne", the band add fire and flair to time-honored pieces of Turkish music giving them new meanings. Covering important tracks such as female singer Kamuran Akkor's track "Olurmu Dersin", and musician and guitarist Zafer Dilek's "Yekte", the album covers an array of original pieces of different musical styles and sounds, that once have and continue to flow out of Turkey. The band boasts six members; Ariel Harrosh (bass), Lotan Yaish (drums), Yuli Shafriri (vocals), Tsuf Mishali (keys and synths), Tal Eyal (percussion), and Itamar Kluger (diwansaz, both electric and acoustic, electric baglama, Greek four double string bouzouki). They came together some years after band leader Itamar Kluger discovered the saz whilst traveling the Kaçkar mountains in Turkey's eastern region. The saz being a long necked, plucked stringed instrument native to the rural areas of the country, which remains an integral part of Şatellites' union, and plays predominance throughout the bands' album and music.
