Elif Elif Tanverdi (cizenbayan) Istanbul upcoming dates July 14 - Elemental Sound Festival, Bodrum July 25 - Klein Garten, Istanbul July 28 - The Gardens of Babylon Festival, Germany '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.' as rewiewed by whenwedip highlights of dates in the past few months: June 2 - Bonjuk Burn Spiral, Turkey May 19 - Do Not Sit On The Furniture, Miami May 18 - Velvet Speakeasy, Montreal March 29 - Le Salon Daome, Montreal March 18 - Beate Uwe, Berlin March 11 - Kater Blau, Berlin for Grrr mit Brrr March 9 - Babylon, Istanbul, Before&After Stavroz March 7 - Flamme, Istanbul, All Night Long w/ Kora February 23 - Klein, Istanbul w/ Blond:ish & KMLN February 17 - Dotheart, Beirut w/ Sainte Vie January 25 - Deep Like, Dubai w/ Mira January 5 - Project Heart, Tulum December 17 - Schimanski, NYC for United We Care Fundraiser for bookings: booking@elifmusique.com for promos: promos@elifmusique.com download presskit here: http://bit.ly/elifmusique_epk2018 Elif’s tracks Podcast for BSvsMG by Elif published on 2018/05/24 20:17:12 +0000 Elif @ Grrr mit Brrr | KaterBlau Kiosk, Berlin [11.03.2018] by Elif published on 2018/03/17 18:02:09 +0000 Schimanski NYC [17.12.2017] by Elif published on 2018/02/19 11:11:24 +0000 Do Not Sit On The Furniture Showcase @ Klein, Istanbul [03.11.2017] by Elif published on 2017/11/05 15:48:40 +0000 Flamme, Istanbul (Warm Up For Nico Stojan) [25.10.2017] by Elif published on 2017/10/29 12:53:44 +0000 Klein, Istanbul (Warm Up for Audiofly)[21.10.2017] by Elif published on 2017/10/21 02:05:55 +0000 Mix: Sunday Chillin' (October 2017) by Elif published on 2017/10/09 08:29:47 +0000 Sundowners Collective Fundraiser @ Birgit & Bier, Berlin [17.09.2017] by Elif published on 2017/09/18 15:53:44 +0000 Project Heart Turkish Delight @ Miki Beach, Burning Man 2017 [29.08.2017] by Elif published on 2017/09/09 11:16:00 +0000 Mix: It Could Go Either Way (June 2017) by Elif published on 2017/06/24 19:55:36 +0000
