Dadaruhi can be described both as an instinctive outcome and the antithesis of Koledoyuran. The main attribute of the album is that the musical forms that were under focus have naturally blended into one another and none of them are predominant. Sampling technology was involved in the composing process, which provided the tracks with a varied and contemporary touch and enabled a more liberated use of sounds. Studio technology was not ruled out; the pure and unprocessed experience inherent in Koledoyuran was substituted by an effort to create an integrated album in atmosphere and sound. The album enjoyed contributions from a variety of guests and includes traditional instruments like ney (reed flute), zurna (shrill pipe), strings, and the Ramadan drum, as well as vocalists and a text-reading chorus. The lyrics were not written to make up a concept album but are in natural harmony and mirror the human inner world through personal impressions. Death, childhood, old age and mental disorders are the main themes of the album.

In 2013, a remastered version of the album is released.
