About
Yavuz musical career dates back to 1997 when he first stepped into the Istanbul music scene with Acid Jazz. His path led from the Shaman World Music Club to well-known clubs of Istanbul's nightlife, such as Eski Beyrut, Hayal Kahvesi, Araf Bar or Melek Bar, where he was significantly involved in establishing world music as a trend on the Bosphorus.
He moved to Zurich in 20018 and regularly plays in Switzerland, Italy, Germany, and Turkey at various concerts, festivals, world electronic beat, and funk parties. He also regularly joins forces with musicians in live jam sessions.
Between 2013 and 2019, Yavuz managed his own indie radio project «Radio Beatkolektif». From these diverse experiences arose his unique style with a vast selection of the finest tunes, from world music, electronic, and psychedelic to funk and indie.
