bu da yonca plak. "denizaltı rüzgarları", "east breeze" ya da "mülayim sert / mülayim ters soundtrack"
haluk damar: "üzerinde çalıştığı bir müzikal form dahilinde arif sağ’ın anlık melodilerinden etkilenen okay temiz türkiyeden çıkmış en önemli 45’liklerden birisini üretir."
@Barkin_Arikut@DefneKoryurek@erincsun Ve tabii o eserlerin hak ettiği ses kalitesini dinleyiciye sunabilecek tek medium, kaliteli bir şekilde basılmış bir plak. Günümüzde çoğu şahane albüm uluslararası alanda sadece plak formatında basılıyor. Bu nedenle pikap aynı anda bu dünyaya da açılan bir kapı, tavsiye ederiz
@Barkin_Arikut@DefneKoryurek@erincsun Streaming platformlarını suya yazı yazmak olarak goruyoruz Barkın Bey. Belki bir radyo olarak tercih edilebilir. Ama önceliğimiz daima müziği ve onu cevreleyen kültürü fiziksel kopyalar ile tarihe bırakmak. O yüzden sadece plak yayınlıyoruz.

Having our releases featured on the shelves of cultural landmarks like Disk Union—places we grew up viewing as temples of music—being selected as staff picks, receiving your unwavering support, and being recognized by a cultural icon like Gilles Peterson as one of the top 10 albums of the year were indescribable honors for us in 2024.
Thank you, all of you, for the support you’ve shown for our idealistic effort, our independent record label, Caz Plak.
Every record we release "represents our hope and our determination, and our goodwill in a vast and awesome universe."
Wishing you all the happiest 2025—To infinity and beyond!
" This is a present from a small distant world, a token of our sounds, our science, our images, our music, our thoughts and our feelings.
We hope someday, having solved the problems we face, to join a community of galactic civilizations. This record represents our hope and our determination, and our good will in a vast and awesome universe. "
Rest in eternity, President Jimmy Carter. A great soul never dies. 🇺🇸♥️
In 2024, we proudly released three LPs that we believe made a meaningful contribution to music history—and perhaps even to cultural history as a whole.
We're deeply grateful to everyone who recognized our work and included us among their favorite releases of the year. If you’re curious to know our own favorite albums of 2024, we’ve curated a selection for HHV Mag:
We're honoured to be part of HHV Mag's Artist & Partner Vinyl Charts of 2024!
A huge thanks to @hhvrecords for inviting us to share our top 10 picks— our co-founder Haluk Damar stepped in to select the LPs that blew our minds this year:

We were excited to see this article.
However, Baldwin's collaboration with Don Cherry was unknown until it was unearthed by us at Caz Plak. We've worked tirelessly and independently for years to restore this lost cultural history. It would’ve been meaningful to credit our efforts, as recognizing the sources of such findings is essential to documenting and honoring James Baldwin's legacy. @NewYorker @dstfelix
