Omer Bil
Brooklyn
Known for dancing in between different genres and styles, juggling the traditional and the avant-garde, O.BEE generates obscure yet familiar sonic landscapes, in a signature style that reflects his own musical identity; optimistic yet rebellious and filled by passion.
Liberating the dance floor from the accustomed rules and stepping away from functional expectations, he instead cultivates musical trips for both the dancer and the listener.
O.BEE is a regular in his hometown Istanbul, and in his current base New York, where he completed his studies in Contemporary Music in the New School and continues to develop his refined take on dance music.
After bouncing around parties for several years he joined the ReSolute family, now serving as his home platform, where he has had the honors of hosting and accompanying many artists, such as Zip, Chez Damier, Sonja Moonear, Thomas Melchior, Fumiya Tanaka, a:pria:r, that have been true inspirations for him.
Recent years have seen him travel beyond the horizons of the big apple, returning to Istanbul for Suma Beach, MU and minimuzikhol, also taking on days and nights at Half Baked, Unleash and Colors in London, Hoppetosse, Tresor, Watergate, CDV, Salon zur Wilden Renate and Heidegluhen in Berlin, Rex Club and Sundae in Paris, Macarena Club in Barcelona, to name a few. While also finding a place for himself in accomplished festivals such as Comunite Festival in Mexico, UP Festival in Prague, Polifonic in Italy, Chillout and Big Burn Festivals in Turkey, UVA Festival in Spain and Okeechobee in America, sharing his unique record collection with the world, on the bill with visionaries such as Mulatu Astatke, Ricardo Villalobos, Ambiq and Thievery Corporation.
In October 2017 he was invited to perform alongside other Turkish artists in Boiler Room’s Istanbul special, closing out the session after an array of wide acts and DJ sets.
O.BEE's evocative and sophisticated approach to his sets is also reflected in his own music. He has been working hard in and out of the studio with his partner Rona Budak on their project “Enstantane” which encompasses a record label and multi-disciplinary art collective. The collective has taken on a diverse list of clients and projects around the world working on immersive sound installations in both the Victoria & Albert Museum in London, to a month long pop-up of Porn-Hub in New York’s SoHo neighborhood, as well as composing pieces for world famous fashion houses such as Diane Von Furstenberg. At the same time O.BEE has taken on the role of A&R at ReSolute’s DisDat label.
