Back in 2020, legendary Turkish psych innovators Moğollar () graced Artone Studios for their first ever direct-to-disc session. The group recorded sides A and B on the first day, and C and D on day two - Revisiting their most renowned hits to lay down energised new versions, and dusted off some of the most sought-after cuts from their enormous catalogue.

The result, "Anatolian Sun," a masterclass record in the true roots of the Anadolu psych sound: fuzzed-out, committed, and straight from the source.

Night Dreamer

“It’s a paradox, in a way, like you’d have in a dream – something that’s both light and heavy,” Wayne Shorter muses, speaking to Nat Hentoff for the liner notes of Night Dreamer, his 1964 album and first for Blue Note as a leader.

Night Dreamer takes its name from this album, and retains something of the essence of what he was trying to convey.

Working with Artone Studio, and located above Record Industry pressing plant in Haarlem, Netherlands, Night Dreamer specialises in direct-to-disc recordings – the process by which music is cut onto acetate from single-take live performances, without interference: Neumann microphone to Neumann lathe. From there, it is simply ‘walked downstairs’ to the pressing plant.

For musicians recording at Artone, the process speaks to Shorter’s paradox. The levity of liberation vs. the weight of expectation; trust in raw musicianship vs. vulnerability of exposure. It is in such alchemical moments of contrast that the essence of expression can emerge.
