We’re thrilled to announce an LP/DVD combo of ABDULLAH, a short film released by Ne'er Do Well Films, for Record Store Day 2017. It's a dark tale concerning the largely unknown underbelly of the city. Abdullah is a lonely man, a Turkish mini-cab driver in London who has been forgotten - by the city, by society, and by his own community. When Abdullah picks up a new fare one night - a troubled young man who finally takes notice of him - things take a dark turn. As the two men make an undeniable connection, the question becomes clear: can Abdullah change his fate or is he destined to be swallowed by his own loneliness?

Directed by Evrim Ersoy, the film will be available for the first time after a successful festival run as a limited-edition DVD featuring extras including an isolated score, a look at behind the scenes, easter eggs and more.

Maiovvi’s score is a powerhouse tour de force featuring his signature raw electro sound blended with traditional Turkish structures and instruments. He has managed to create something totally unique; dark disco that is familiar yet alien. It's the perfect follow-up to his last short, YELLOW. We are very proud to highlight ABDULLAH, included here with a bonus DVD shot on 35mm. The film looks magnificent and the dark tale is perfectly suited to Maiovvi’s delirious take on Turkish standards.
