'A relatively new face in the thriving dance culture of her home city of Istanbul, Elif has quickly become a regular selector at top venues both locally and internationally, as she delivers her unique blend of synthesized and organic sounds.
Elif reveals a musical taste that is unafraid to experiment with modern sounds, while also displaying an appreciation for more conventional instrumentation. Her style is characterized by raw percussion that creates relentless groove, combined with melody carried by both electronic and acoustic instruments to achieve an atmosphere which highlights her roots in the ancient city of Istanbul in a contemporary fashion.
Energy levels range from relaxed to raging, the way in which Elif moves between the two demonstrating her understanding of the necessity of diversity throughout a set, as well as her technical skill in creating mixes that progress in an exceptionally smooth and gradual way. Vocal presence is kept to a minimum, with Elif preferring to sporadically highlight quality selections rather than oversaturate the listener with a multitude of messages. This decision results in a greater appreciation for what vocals are present in her sets, as they are tastefully presented at all the right moments. Overall, Elif crafts a musical journey that is a wonderful representation of her life experience and artistic ambition.'
