Dolapdere Big Gang established in the middle of 2004 by DJ producer Önder Ulugür. With 8 musicians mostly from the district of Dolapdere, İstanbul, the gang was formed. They perform the songs with their "Dolapdere Sound" by the "Alaturca" way.
Group members state their way of making music as follows: "Turkey is a country that mixes different cultures in its own because of its position in the world, it's a passway through eastern to western civilization. This mixture is very effective in Turkish way of life. We see that music gets its part from this mixture of different cultures. Till this day, Turkish music tried to adapt western vision, rhythms and style. What we are trying to do is completely the opposite way. We think, to get us listened worldwide goes through our local music from Turkey's multi cultured roots; not trying to be like western artists and imitating them. All these years we admired their songs; from Sting to Madonna, Deep Purple to Michael Jackson we performed their songs like 'us' in our own way. Now it's their turn to admire."[1]
