Plak: songs left around Istanbul

Editorial interest 83/100 Selection signal · not a rating of the site

An iPhone app turns a chosen song, custom cover, and personal note into an interactive record sleeve that can be left at Istanbul venues for others to discover.

Landing page captured for the 2026-09-29 issue.
For
Istanbul music listeners who enjoy city-scale discovery
Worth noticing
Before opening a sleeve, visitors see only its edge color and the month it was left.

Field notes

The records are presented as interactive in-app objects: a selected track launches in the listener's own music service, rather than the page documenting physical vinyl production. The sample drop at Moda Sahili in Kadıköy shows five sleeves waiting, while the finder initially sees only a color and the month. The homepage also describes customizable shelves, profile pages, and a widget for displaying a recently found or left record.
