Derya Yıldırım & Grup Şimşek burst into the KEXP studio on July 31, 2025, delivering a spirited live take on “Direne Direne.” Fronted by Derya’s dynamic vocals and saz, the quartet grooves along with Axel’s organ and synth lines, Helen’s driving drums, and Alana’s punchy bass—and you can feel every beat thanks to Evie Stokes on hosting duties and top-notch audio work by Kevin Suggs and Antonin Voyant.
Cameras rolled under Jim Beckmann, Scott Holpainen, Luke Knecht & Ettie Wahl, and Beckmann’s edits keep the energy tight from start to finish. Hungry for more? Check out their Bandcamp page and join the KEXP YouTube channel for exclusive perks and future live gems.
