Inspired by the world famous Nils Landgren Funk Unit, Istanbul Funk Unit was formed by Cenk Soyak (CEO of Alotech A Cloud Telco Company) in 2011 with the participation of three fellow musicians and friends; Yahya Dai (one of the best musicians in Turkey), Tunc Erkan (actually a diver who part time works for Dell) and Kerem Turhan (composer, vocalist and keyboard player who recently released his debut album and exercises Architecture in Turkmalls Group in his spare time). The group performs the funk arrangements of masters like Miles Davis, John Coltrane, Wayne Shorter and Bill Withers, as well as tunes from Turkish folk music.
