Meltdown Music Festival is overflowing with diverse talent ranging in age from all over the globe. Deniz Koyu might be the epitome of this statement. The young and extremely talented producing DJ making the heads of older veterans and newcomers turn.
The German born Turk Deniz Akcakoyunlu was only five when his parents forced him to learn how to play the piano. “I didn’t like it at all, but my parents forced me. I hated it at the time, but now I am happy they did it.” He later discovered a love of synthesizers and drums, getting inspiration from artists like Depeche Mode, Daft Punk, and Kraftwerk. As a teenager, Deniz spent his free time editing and then DJing his favorite songs on tape recorders. All of that hard work would start to pay off in 2011 when Deniz’s releases “Tung” and “Hertz” along with remixes “Dangerous” and “Turn It Down” became house anthems for venues and festivals across the world, being championed by Tiësto, Swedish House Mafia, Avicii, David Guetta, and Calvin Harris. “Breakthrough DJ/Producer” and “a blazing new talent” are just a few of the phrases used by industry greats to describe Deniz.
Fresh off of successful US tour with Danny Avila, dBerrie and Mikael Weermets, Generation Wild, Deniz continues on in 2013 with his new radio show on Electric Area called Bongbastic and a few collaborations with Tiësto, Otto Knows, and Thomas Gold. We hope to hear some of these future releases this Saturday when Deniz Koyu takes the stage at Meltdown Music Festival.
