OCEANVS ORIENTALIS

Founded by Safak Oz Kutle, Oceanvs Orientalis is a collective formation which aims to challenge the aesthetic perception in electronic music. It may feature itself as a band or as a one-man action.

Oceanvs Orientalis is one of the most representative artists of the generation that for now we could call electro world, in short an “important” producer. And that’s saying a lot when you think about the fact that the Turkish artist, real name Şafak Özkütle, born near Istanbul has declared his hatred for clubs, and also that he approached electronic music very late in his life. Tired of his job as a graphic designer, he spent his last salary buying the instruments he would later use as a DJ working in a friend’s club. His music through Brazilian collective Voodoohop will first arrive in Brazil and then, in the capital Sao Paulo, to the ears of Berlin’s label The Magic Movement. Only two years later, Oceanvs Orientalis will play all over the world, defining and inventing a sound as a musical concept. The starting point for the ex-employee came when he began to mix world music with parts of electronic music and techno, starting with but not only four on the floor Armamentarium that will be then enriched with delays, editing, filters, effects, samples and synths. Not incidental is the use of the production software the Daw.
