LISTEN TO "KEREM AKDAG" LP NOW
 

Dimensions Recordings’ fifth release sees the label step into the world of the longplayer with Istanbul native, KEREM AKDAG’s self titled debut album. Kerem has already been winning fans of the ilk of Gilles Peterson through his previous output of dusty house and tripped out beats in the last few years, and of course via his Getdownsoclose offering on Dimensions’ debut release. His debut album however, sees Kerem deliver a mature piece of work, bright and timeless, equally effective in the club as it is at home and brimming with ideas, hooks and must have songs. Across eight tracks Kerem demonstrates a breadth of skills that most artists would work a lifetime to achieve. From the stepping beats of When I Think Of You to his subtle vocal layers on Isolated and from the woozy beach vibes of Sultan to the squelching, rasping synths of Unite it’s clear that there’s very little that’s outside of Kerem’s arsenal. The album rounds out fittingly with Drums Please, which perfectly displays Kerem’s jazz tendencies, a slow grooving track whose crescendo of stabs and drums create a song that’s more powerful than its parts. Kerem Akdag’s debut album clearly sets out the stall for a man who has a lot to say and has the capability to say it loud!

Dropping today via Dimensions Recordings', the boundary breaking imprint's fifth release see's Istanbul native, KEREM AKDAG release his self-titled debut album. This beautiful, 8 track LP from Dimensions Recordings is a must have for the discerning record collector. Bright and timeless, 'Kerem Akdag' is equally effective in the club as it is at home. Now, making his UK debut to launch the album, Kerem's already made a stamp on the UK scene, appearing South London's Balamii Radio, and forthcoming Red Bull Studio sessions. There's a very special party tonight in new Hackney hotspot, the Glove that Fits, where Kerem will perform. 

Across eight tracks, Kerem demonstrates a breadth of skills that many artists would work a lifetime to achieve.

The album rounds out fittingly with 'Drums Please', which perfectly displays Kerem's jazz tendencies, a slow grooving track whose crescendo of stabs and drums create a song that's more powerful than its parts.
