Ethnique Punch Vinyet

Ethnique Punch is an independent producer and MC from Anatolia. Eastern samples, dirty drums, synths and fragmented dialogs are his trademarks. Combined with metaphorical poetic lyrics, his deep and smooth voice ows over the beat like an eloquent Turkish mantra. His influences reach from classical ‘90s West Coast Hip Hop to elaborated Trip Hop sounds, while some tracks even drift towards Dub, D’n’B or Dubstep. Additionally, many of his tracks are layered with samples of traditional Anatolian instruments, crossing aesthetic and geographic borders. As for his lyrics, Hip Hop means catharsis and resistance to Ethnique Punch.
Weather from a personal or broader perspective, he tends to tackle issues like racial segregation, homophobia, gender inequality, destructive exploitation of the environment or the hypocritical foundations of human civilization. If that sounds like a tough pill to swallow, he makes it go down easy.
“Vinyet” is the first 12” vinyl release on Well Gedacht’s catalog, and also available as digital download. Alongside 6 tracks produced by the MC himself, “Vinyet” includes two additional remixes by Grup Ses Beats and İnce Şarj.
