Review: Burak Akkaya aka Bakayan surfaces on Stil Vor Talent which follows his debut Umut Var record in 2021, and subsequent singles and EPs for labels like A Tribe Called Kotori and Kindisch. Bakayan now finds himself garnering support from the likes of Oliver Koletzki who commits three worldly, melodic and progressive house numbers to the label. Leading with "Breathe", its shuffling percussion and heavy synths hold down a melancholic yet euphoric groove, next to a 'Safar's Love in Mykonos Edit' that does away with the shuffle to expand on a deeper dynamic. The title track, "Fireflies" works in a slightly more syncopated groove, again heavy influence on a vocal melody and busy, belly dancing percussion and baroque, classical sound design.
