Merdan Taplak, born in Antwerp and raised Asianly, is without doubt the
next big thing in the Belgian and European deejay scene. Rocking all
stages of all major festivals in Belgium, Merdan Taplak is hitting the
crowd and he is hitting them hard.
Often referred to as "the Bosphorus%u2019 third bridge", he creates a
new world with new sounds through melodies from across the globe,
passionately reconciled into electronic worldgroove. Like a Turkish
grocer, trafficking in sounds. A fresh shop, always discovering new
flavours which take you by surprise. You won%u2019t believe your ears. Not
even mentioning your legs.
Merdans international acclaim is growing steadily, due to his
energetic dj-sets and upcomming electro-world productions. His latest
single, "MARCH OF THE SULTANS" is supported by lots of worldmusic
deejays, worldfamous deejay Gilles Peterson (BBC Radio One) called it
"a festival banger!". The track has been compiled on the infamous
"BALKAN BEATS" compilation by Robert Soko. The METISSE EP covers both
sides of Merdans musical spectrum: a heavily electrified track topped
with african vocals, an absolute floorfiller.
Merdan is highly positioned as a deejay/producer but he keeps on
going. Attending every (world)music festival, he is acknowledged by
international connoisseurs as one of the rising stars in his genre.
