OGUZ, a fusion of Dutch upbringing and Turkish heritage, has been shaping his electronic music journey for nearly a decade.
He’s become a prominent figure in the global Techno realm, enthralling audiences with his entrancing sets and groundbreaking productions. Introducing 808 STUDIOS, his innovative record label and creative collective, OGUZ is ushering in a new era where art and music converge. The Summer Series, a six-part release, ignites the path ahead, promising a vibrant symphony of sound and vision.
Stepping into the spotlight on 808 STUDIOS is the electrifying ‘I AM NOT A WHORE.’ A rapid baseline intertwines with cutting rave stabs, igniting a surge of energy right from the outset. The track is punctuated by scorching hi-hats and crashing cymbals, while a chunky kick drum and bongos set the driving tempo. As its namesake, the vocal sample echoes over and over. With its chaotic energy and tongue in cheek sample, this one has already been sending OGUZ’s dance floors to fever pitch all summer.
Set to drop on August 25th, ‘I AM NOT A WHORE’ stands as the third release from the burgeoning 808 STUDIOS. Passionate about nurturing undiscovered talent, OGUZ has orchestrated the label to drive electronic music and its rising artists towards new horizons. The label’s philosophy, reflective of OGUZ’s artistic journey, embraces diverse emotions over rigid genres, ensuring each release carries a distinctive and resonant touch.
“I hope to connect cultures and styles as well as provide a platform for artists to showcase. It’s mind blowing to see the enthusiasm of my audience about this project”
OGUZ is rapidly forging a name not just as a DJ, but also as a formidable producer. Tracks like ‘GOLDEN SZN’ and ‘FC Horsepower’ have amassed millions of plays, catapulting him to the forefront of today’s electronic music producers. ‘Summer Anthem,’ his sophomore release on his label 808 STUDIOS, signals a bold step forward. With six bi-weekly releases leading up to October, OGUZ is infusing 808 STUDIOS with his unmistakable purpose and drive.
