Beat Machine Records:

"Beat Machine Records is excited to introduce Terra Tempo, a groundbreaking music catalog that redefines the boundaries of global sound by blending the rich traditions of cultural music with the dynamic energy of modern club beats. Each release is an immersive journey that celebrates and reimagines the heritage of various cultures, bringing their unique sound traditions into the contemporary music landscape..

The debut album from Terra Tempo is "Beyoglurush" by Freedjom (Özgür Haznedar), an Istanbul-born, Berlin-based producer. This album is a captivating fusion of footwork, juke, and breakbeat rhythms infused with the sounds of traditional Turkish instruments like the darbuka, bendir, and def. These rhythms are inspired by the vibrant street music culture of Beyoğlu, a historic district of Istanbul known for live, organic musical expression.

At the heart of "Beyoglurush" is the essence of Istanbul itself. This album isn’t just about rhythms—it’s about the emotion behind them. Freedjom captures the energy, the blend of old and new, and the sense of mystery that defines the city. The combination of traditional Turkish percussion with fast-paced, contemporary electronic beats creates an atmosphere that’s both electric and intimate, as if you’re standing at the crossroads of centuries of culture, feeling the pulse of the city as it hums around you.

Freedjom also draws inspiration from Turkish poet Attilâ İlhan’s famous work "Sisler Bulvarı" (Boulevard of Mists), a piece known for its melancholy and vivid imagery. The poem’s reflective nature is woven into the album, adding emotional depth to the rhythms and melodies. As the syncopated beats race forward, they’re met with a sense of longing and nostalgia, evoking the sensation of wandering through a foggy Istanbul night caught between the past and the present.

“Beyoglurush” channels the raw, magnetic energy of Beyoğlu’s street music, blending its organic, percussive elements with fast-paced, syncopated grooves. The footwork-inspired rhythms are complemented by the traditional sounds of Istanbul, creating an immersive sonic experience that feels both modern and timeless. Freedjom’s production invites listeners to lose themselves in the beats as if carried away under a starlit Istanbul sky.

With “Beyoglurush,” Terra Tempo begins its mission to celebrate global cultural heritage through music. Blending traditional sounds with contemporary club rhythms, the label makes cultural music accessible and relevant to today’s audiences. This debut album bridges past and present, inviting listeners to explore the richness of cultural diversity through modern beats.​ "
