Topkapı Müzik: Shaping the Sound of Modern Turkish Pop

Founded in 1988 by Ali Ünal Tunalı and former BBC professional Mehmet Arman, Topkapı Müzik has been instrumental in shaping modern Turkish pop music. Initially focused on international repertoire from labels like A&M, Island Records, and Virgin Records, the label pivoted in 1993 to champion Turkish productions. This strategic shift led to the discovery and development of iconic artists such as Candan Erçetin, Yaşar, Ege, and Emre Altuğ. Despite originating in the cassette and CD eras, Topkapı Müzik's catalog has amassed hundreds of millions of streams on digital platforms and remains a staple on Turkish radio. The label also expanded into television programming with shows like "Video Müzik Türkiye" and represented international formats like the BBC's "Top of The Pops." Now a member of the Parydise Music Network Label Collective, Topkapı Müzik continues its mission to support and promote musical talent, contributing significantly to the nation's musical landscape.
