Hazer Baba

Hazer Baba is a Turkish psychedelic rock band known for blending Anatolian folk traditions with fuzzy, reverb-drenched grooves. Formed in 2013 by multi-instrumentalists Doğuş Kılıç and Berke Can Özcan, the Istanbul-based group has built a reputation for hypnotic live performances and a retro-futuristic sound that nods to '70s Turkish psychedelia pioneers like Erkin Koray while carving its own cosmic path. Their recent tracks "Terra" and "Solveigh" showcase their signature mix of saz-driven melodies, swirling organ textures, and hard-hitting rhythm section work. Though relatively underground outside Turkey, they've gained international attention through festival appearances and collaborations with labels like Pharaway Sounds, earning praise for keeping Anatolian rock's flame alive with a modern, adventurous twist.
