Surrounded by music royalty and weirdos since an early age, Ozan Maral out of Istanbul is a pioneering force to come from the land of four seasons. Having founded Deform Music record store in the bohemian quarter Beyoglu, he worked as the booker at the music and art establishment arkaoda, where he built and maintained an artistic program of kudos and repute for more than 10 years. Forever faithful to his experimental, industrial, and rave roots, Ozan Maral’s all-encompassing vision takes in abstract sounds that focus on the brighter and more positive ethics of non-commercial dance music.
