EPISODE WRITTEN AND PRODUCED BY julian martlew 

Satellites describe themselves thus — “Lost somewhere between the mysterious alleys of 70s Istanbul, and the scorching sun and crystal blue sea of Jaffa Tel Aviv, the Satellites’ sound shimmers between traditional Turkish folk and instrumentation, ethereal psychedelic guitar leads and groovy dance-floor basslines." 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.

Recorded December 8, 2022.
