    For the third set of Excursions, we're letting off some tasty Turkish flavours. Darkhouse Family presents 'An Ottoman Excursion'. Halal Cool J (aka Don Leisure of Darkhouse Family) has blessed us with four cheeky edits, crafted with care, and guaranteed to create dancefloor flames. A few choice selectors have been playing these for a while (such as Lefto and Gaslamp Killer), but this is the first time these tracks have been released into the public domain.
