Besides his last 7 singles of his long-awaited solo project, his 1st EP “Kontra” was released on February 2024 by Sümbül Plak.

The breadth of the artist's sound palette, which is familiar to his listeners from the projects he has been involved in so far as well as from the solo singles he has released, also shows itself strongly in this EP. Traces of the waters Karabudak has swam in throughout his career and the integrity created by timelessness form the texture of this EP. The mini album, entirely produced by Görkem
Karabudak, with photography and design by Berk Çakmakçı.

The first LP of GK’s solo project “Topyekün Live” was released as a concert album on July’24

In addition to “Kontra" and singles, "Kara Mizah", a Çilekeş classic that has not been performed by him and his band on stage for a long time, is one of the surprises of this album with its 2024 version.
