BASHKKA Announces New EP CORE and Shares Surrender

October 07, 2026

BASHKKA has announced her new four-track EP CORE, marking her debut release on fabric Originals, and has shared its hypnotic lead single “Surrender”.

The Turkish-German producer will release CORE on November 6, 2026, following the digital release of “Surrender” on October 6.

The EP brings together four tracks shaped by a period of personal and creative change, with BASHKKA describing the project as a form of “self-therapy”.

A return to her musical roots

According to BASHKKA, CORE began with an experience in Turkey during the summer of 2025 that prompted her to strip away outside expectations and reconnect with the foundations of her own sound.

She subsequently spent the winter and spring working on the record, developing the four tracks around rhythm, repetition, voice and movement.

The process also coincided with a difficult personal period, which influenced the emotional direction of the EP.

BASHKKA describes the record as an “excavation”, moving through heartbreak and uncertainty towards optimism, clarity and joy.

“Surrender” leads the EP

The first track to emerge from the project is “Surrender”, a six-minute club track built around a hypnotic groove and a repeated, chant-like vocal.

The track uses repetition as a central musical device, gradually increasing its sense of tension and movement.

It was released digitally on October 6 through fabric Originals and is already available to stream and download.

The CORE tracklist

The four-track EP will feature:

  1. The Dip

  2. Surrender

  3. Activate Your Love

  4. Tenimde Tan

The physical edition is being released on 12-inch vinyl, alongside the digital version.

BASHKKA and fabric

CORE marks BASHKKA's debut on fabric Originals, extending a relationship with the London club and label that has developed over more than a decade.

She previously contributed a mix to the fabric series with fabric 028 and has maintained a connection with the club through her DJ career.

The new EP moves that relationship into a new phase, with BASHKKA presenting original music through fabric's label operation for the first time.

A growing catalogue

BASHKKA released her debut EP Maktub in 2023 on Nene H's UMAY label.

She subsequently released and remixed music across the electronic scene, including a remix of CC!'s “Magic (Is In The Tempo)” and her collaboration with Eliza Rose and Sally C on “DR Pleasure”.

Her work has also been recognised through DJ Mag's Ones To Watch programme, where she was part of the 2024 class of hosts for BBC Radio 1 Dance Presents.

More than a club record

BASHKKA says the making of CORE gave her a way to process what she was experiencing personally while returning to the musical instincts that originally shaped her as an artist.

Her years living in New York also influenced her broad musical vocabulary, spanning house, techno, disco and experimental club music.

The result is a record focused less on pursuing bigger or faster sounds and more on reconnecting with the elements she considers fundamental to her identity as a producer and DJ.

BASHKKA's CORE EP will be released on November 6, 2026 via fabric Originals, with “Surrender” available now.
