Eje Eje

Eje Eje – “Primordial Soup” (Batov Records, BTR127LP) is the second album from Itamar Kluger—the Şatellites founder’s orbiting solo project—stirring Anatolian/Mediterranean melodies into psych funk, dub pulses and modern beat craft. Cut to LP as BTR127LP, the record threads microtonal saz like lines, gritty organs and spring reverb guitars through hypnotic, percussive grooves; titles like “Oyun Çorbası,” “Baraca,” and a Rahbani Brothers tribute (“Don’t Ask”) map the project’s East to West cross pollination. Kluger plays widely across the setup, folding his crate digging sensibility into hi fi arrangements that feel both vintage and future minded. For listeners of Altın Gün, Derya Yıldırım or Şatellites, this is a vibrant, DJ ready slice of modern psych global fusion and a Batov edition worth filing next to the label’s cult favorites.
