on all digital stores!
Combining music, photos, videos and graphic design all together, "MammaLiTurki!" is the new multimedia project from DJ Nio. The EP is a taste of the Italian-born DJ and Beat Maker’s experiences over the past few years in his recently adopted country of Turkey.
DJ Nio, the co-founder of the Old School Italian rap group Zero Plastica, is also a collaborator for the New York based indie label Nomadic Wax. He is a Hip Hop artist from Genova with over twenty years experience performing all over the world, from the United States to the Caribbean to Istanbul.
In 2016, DJ Nio moved to Turkey despite the tense political climate of the time. Upon his arrival, he immediately began collaborating with local musicians and was invited to join the Beton Orman artistic collective (“Concrete Jungle” in Turkish). He began creating music inspired by Turkey’s rich cultural history, the Bosphorus, and the megacity that is Istanbul.
With help and guidance from the local musicians and artists he met, DJ Nio was able to sample old Turkish records as he began creating “MammaLiTurki!”. The EP itself contains four instrumental tracks that transport you directly to ancient Constantinople, one of the most beautiful and incredible ancient cities in the world.
The “MammaLiTurki!” project also includes three Beat Tapes. The first Beat Tape will be printed and distributed by Greek label Nebuki Tapes. In addition, the project includes a photo book and a documentary film, all produced in Istanbul just before the world was effected by the 2020 pandemic.
"MammaLiTurki! E.P. " is available on all digital platforms including: Spotify, Soundcloud, Bandcamp and on Nio’s website: www.djnio.net
