Gokhan Aya and me Marthy Coumans chilling in 2002.
Gokhan and me met first somewhere end of the 90s in Meral Altindal's recordstore near Taxim, Istanbul. As we shared and share a delicate passion for rare and unknown music it was the beginning of a long friendship lasting till now. Above that we together arranged two massive pionering comps that were part of opening the world of amazing third world rarities. 'Turkish Delights' and 'raks Raks Raks'. In those days almost nobody was interested but it was going to change fast.
