Really happy to be playing this year’s edition of Babylon Soundgarden Festival in Istanbul! I’m looking forward to hearing Kings of Convenience live, and of course sharing the great line-up at the RBMA stage with Beardyman, Kabus Kerim, Ahu and more talented peoples. Also, this’ll be the first time I’ll be playing with my fellow-Gado Deniz Karaman, aka Mr.Strangé!
I will be playing on a boat (first time) in Vienna (first time) on May the 30th. Badeschiff Wien is the location for this party hosted by Well Gedacht. Beats, and more beats all night!
Here’s a remix I made for Turkish producer/singer Heartsparxx. The EP, consisting of the original and 5 remixes (Sami Baha, Baker Aaron, Levni and Nodul as well) is out today on Tektosag Records. And available as a free download! Stream my remix below, and watch the video for the original here.
Big congrats to my Number Nine familia, who have now opened their new store in Amsterdam! This will be celebrated the 13th of April with an in-store event & afterparty at Roest, in collaboration with the Boston Strip crew. More info on location, times and full line-up can be found here.
The second installment of ‘Davulun Sesi’, a compilation focusing on talented Turkish producers and beatmakers, is out as of today! 24 producers deliver the goods this time, all styles covered. Take a listen to my contribution below, and download the full compilation here, or directly by clicking the ‘buy’ button in the Soundcloud-player.
The release will have a proper release-party February 8th at Babylon (Istanbul), with some of the producers on the compilation doing showcases, as well as a live show by Onra. Looking forward to playing in Istanbul again! More info on the party here.
After the full documentary Miguel Narings and VICE (for HUB Footwear) made about ‘Haas & Hahn’, the Dutch duo that painted entire streets in Philadelphia and the favelas of Rio de Janeiro, they decided to go back to Philly and see how the project had turned out.
Watch the full length documentary (with music by yours truly) here. Awesome watch! For this follow-up video, they used some music from my Eunice EP, which is still available as a free download!
February will see the release of the second installment of ‘Davulun Sesi’, a compilation of instrumental hiphop, beats and electronica by Turkish producers. Huge line-up on the tracklist, proud to be on this one! There will be a release party on February 8th, at Istanbul’s Babylon venue. Some of the producers on the compilation will play, joined by special guest Onra! Looking forward to this one, big up Tektosag, big up RBMA!
The homie Grup Ses Beats will be visiting the Netherlands, so we decided to throw a little event with the lovely girls of Sistemsiz! Come join us for a night full of beats, electronica and Turkish funk!
I will be playing some tunes at this year’s last Bashment at Bitterzoet (Amsterdam) this Friday, together with dj TLM, Lexflex & Global Mischa. Let’s go out with a bang!

I recently did an interview with the wonderful people over at one small seed, a great South African magazine on popular culture in the broadest sense. Love their website, and of course it’s great to see the ‘Eunice EP’ getting picked up in SA!
