Peki Momés - Peki Momés

The stunning debut album by Turkish artist Peki Momés.
Peki Momés' music is an eclectic mix of sounds from the global underground, tastefully crafted by producer Dustin Braun and a troupe of ridiculously talented jazz musicians. Dirty disco, fuzzy funk, Anatolian rare grooves, experimental synth, library music and Japanese city pop all blend naturally with her distinct vocals to create a unique ethereal outernational sound that is all her own.

Once dubbed as 'Turkish discodelic', Peki's songs have a dreamlike, enchanted and psychedelic quality and instantly take the listener on a journey. In a poetic way, she approaches topics like „dreams and a naive fear of losing or not fulfilling them“ or expresses „worries about our weary world and call for solidarity of all“ - always with an outlook of hope. You do not have to speak Turkish to understand - the message is transported in a universal language.

Peki Momés only started to record music by accident in 2023. Blessed with style and intuition rather than formal education, her fresh and uncompromisingly authentic approach to music took hearts and ears by storm.

Ever since her debut 45 on Mocambo Records, Peki Momés has become a little sensation in and outside the organic groove scene: turntablist DJ Koco played doubles of „Göç Mevsimi“ in his set, Iggy Pop announced „Rüya“ on his „Iggy Confidential“ show on BBC and the second vinyl single surprised everyone with a mesmerizing cover of Marco Valle's much loved „Estrelar“ in Turkish language. Both records sold out quickly and are in the bags of tastemakers like Coco Maria.

With her debut album, Peki Momés is now telling her full story. Displaying a young Peki on the cover, the artwork hints at the freshness and enthusiasm of the project. We should consider ourselves lucky that Peki chose to disrespect rules in favor of self-empowerment and made this wonderful album that you never knew you needed.
