Turkish jazz duo The Kankas, which feature Sercan Debelec on piano and Fırat Ağacık on guitar, released the first single Draco on Space Goats Records.

The Kankas is an Electronic Jazz Project created by Sercan Debelec and Fırat Ağacık. They worked together on different projects for a long time. The first single of the experimental journey of this duo, which is named Draco, brings together Electronic Music and Jazz elements.

Doing things like this makes me willingly accept my insanity. I can say it was an amazing experience. If you have headphones, plug in headphones or listen with a sound system that you can enjoy. Sercan is generally more interested in northern jazz or piano compositions, but when we tried to make music together, we created Draco. New doors have opened. We also shot a video in Akyaka. While the full moon, the feast of sacrifice, deaths, forest fires and our swallows were happening, I couldn’t find anything else to say inside me, says Fırat Ağacık about collaboration.

Listen to Sercan Debelec and Fırat Ağacık as The Kankas‘s new single Draco:
