Hailing from Sydney, Australia and raised by music-loving but strict Turkish parents, Murat’s early experience of dance music was strictly from the dancefloor. This club habit soon turned in to an addiction of buying 12 inch records which has now become an extensive vinyl library. Since then Murat has come a long way in establishing his career on the underground music scene globally, with regular appearances at some of the world’s top clubs and production skills that are being sought after from many forward thinking record labels from around the world.
As a DJ, Murat is steadfast with over 10 years experience always armed with fresh music. His sets are creative and unique, often genre crossing between deep house, techno and disco. In the last few years, Murat has played in some of the noteworthy clubs around the world including Watergate Berlin, Electric Pickle Miami, the End London and further afield at Burning Man in the USA and Sunrise in Salvador, Brazil. With valuable deck time through his 5 year residency at Sydney institution SPICE, his sets cater for the chin strokers and the frivolous partygoers alike.
In his own words "At the end of the day, it is all about educating the crowd without boring them. Teaching people to appreciate new music whilst still getting them to dance themselves to oblivion".
Since 2008, Murat Kilic has had a steady schedule of music being released on a variety of labels across the Tech House, Deep House and Techno genres. Starting with a succession of remixes on Tech House imprint BEEF Records in 2008, Murat followed these up with an EP for Oliver Koletzki’s Berlin based Stil Vor Talent which helped establish his reputation as someone to watch. Since then Murat has had a follow up release on Stil Vor Talent and a string of remixes racking up plays and support from the likes of Joris Voorn, Jimpster, Nick Warren, Inland Knights and M.A.N.D.Y. Murat’s productions are well-defined and notable with releases on labels like Stil Vor Talent, BEEF, Stereo Seven, Lost My Dog, Kaato, Subsonic, Long Distance and Tribal Vision. 3 of Murat's recent releases have been in the Top 20 Beatport Deep House charts in 2010/2011.
Murat spends a lot of his time travelling across countires and continents doing something he genuinely loves. . . . producing, playing and presenting electronic music in as many clubs and festivals as humanly possible. He maintains a healthy work schedule in his home city Sydney, where he runs the successful SPICE after hour club and Reckless Republic - touring agency, event promoter and record label. In other words he is a workaholic!!
