Hızlı Geceler, the latest release by Dogu Civicik, marks a new era in his production style. After more than a decade of releasing edits of vintage Turkish records, Civicik returns to the studio with an original composition, an homage to 1970s Turkish disco. Drawing on his deep-rooted experience in the genre and blending it with a mix of contemporary production techniques, he delivers a fresh vintage hit; a brand-new song that feels instantly familiar, hits close to home, and serves as the perfect soundtrack to love lost, set against the backdrop of a summer sunset. Dogu Civiciks Hızlı Geceler, carrying a Turkish-vocal disco character, is reinterpreted by Ilker Aksungar as a club- and radio-focused house version. While the original tracks vocal energy and disco feel are preserved, the structure is reshaped to fit contemporary dance music dynamics. Shaped by Ilker Aksungars approach, this version delivers a groove-centered and minimal club framework. The house-driven foundation supports the tracks existing character, making it well-suited for both DJ sets and radio play. While the disco essence lives on through the vocals, the arrangement enhances the tracks versatility across different club and broadcast environments. Dogu Civiciks Hızlı Geceler gains a modern remix identity through Kerem Tekinalps touch. Inspired by the warm and timeless character of classic house music, the remix is reimagined with todays tech house grooves. Fluid rhythms, a clean bassline, and a club-oriented structure bring together nostalgic and contemporary energy. This remix offers a dynamic interpretation that unites past and present on the same dance floor. Additionally, HKNC contributes to the track with subtle supporting touches alongside Kerem Tekinalp.
