Biografie
Murat Tepeli's trade is poise. In his sets, he creates a perfect harmony between ecstasy and ass shaking on one hand, and gentle emotion and elegance on the other. In his production, he often pairs melancholy with the necessity to dance, opulence and reduction, loud and quiet. Professionally, Murat Tepeli walks the tightrope of being a DJ in the Club and a surgeon in the operating theatre. He combines these extremes with a playful energy and manages to put the full range of emotions and experiences into his sets.
In the mid 90s, Murat Tepeli started DJ-ing, putting influences like De La Soul, Black Sheep, Pharcyde, KRS-One, Bahamadia, Monie Love and Adeva into his first sets. For a period, New Jack Swing, Drum & Bass and House lived as equals in his record bag. Slowly, House took over the representation of Murat's feelings and became the base for excursions towards the other styles that move and influence him. His musical horizon spans from Occident to Orient, arabesque to wave, from the clear sequences of Synthpop to mystical chords. Murat Tepeli doesn't see this as a contradiction, he uses the conjunctive elements but also the contrast to create a sweeping story in his own signature.
In 2002, Murat Tepeli started his own productions resulting in his first release in 2005. Tepeli's EP "On A Ride" found a home on the renowned Playhouse label. Further releases followed on labels like Brut, 240 Volts and an EP on Ostgut Ton. January 2008 saw the release of "Serenity", an album co-produced alongside Prosumer, and the record played a large role in the house renaissance. Several remixes and solo EPs followed, most recently with releases on AVA and Philpot.
Through his energizing sets in clubs such as Zukunft, Fabric, Rex and Paradiso, at festivals in countries like Poland, Israel and India, with regular gigs at Panorama Bar, and a residency at the Cologne-based Pulstar nights, Murat Tepeli has built himself an international fan base. By blending physique and emotion, his sets always represent the pulse of life– a beating heart, full of emotion.
"I love it when the dance floor is magnetized by a simple and sexy baseline and then groovy percussion picks you up and drives you to ecstasy. When you close your eyes, a voice touches your soul, you start to sing along and then a smile, sometimes even a tear, appears on your face. That's when you lose yourself and your emotions in the music. That is the foundation of my house."
