Kuruluş amacı az bilinen kültürleri ve müzik türlerini bir arşiv halinde toplayıp müzik piyasasında bu birikime bir pazar yaratmak olarak özetlenebilir. Inspired by its mission to reserve the music of Anatolia Kalan Music was the first music company in Turkey to clean up and re-release 78 rpm records of late Ottoman music, the legendary voices of Armenian and Greek minority singers, and of old great recordings of rebetika and klezmer music. The release of Seyyan Hanım which presented the long forgotten historical Turkish Tango to today’s audience was the first of this series and was followed later on by many other treasures in the Turkish music; Tanburi Cemil Bey, Şükrü Tunar, Udi Hrant, Yorgo Bacanos, Gazeller, İstanbul'un Hanımları and many others. As Kalan Music’s archiving progressed a new mission was adopted to complete the integrity of the label. Many other forgotten recordings considered historically important and that has drawn the attention of the academic circles and of international ethno musical research have been cleaned up and re-released. This is how the archive series was formed. From Pomak Refugees to Saadettin Kaynak, from Münir Nurettin Selçuk to Hacı Taşan a vast archive was presented to music lovers. Besides old values Kalan Music recognizes the importance of providing recent valuable music with an equal opportunity. Erkan Oğur, İsmail Hakkı Demircioğlu, Tolga Çandar, Yansımalar, Grup Yorum, Kardeş Türküler, Fenomen, Sevval Sam are only a few names to mention among many others who are still being presented to the music lovers by Kalan Music.
