Biografie Tolga Fidan:
*Hailing from Paris via London via Istanbul, don't call our
multi-instrumentalist French. Born and raised in Istanbul, studied in
London, and relocated to Paris in 2005, Tolga Fidan considers himself
Turkish above all else.

At just 14, Tolga was playing bass and guitar in post rock bands. Always
drawn to experimental music, he was taken with the sounds of Sonic
Youth, Autechre, Pansonic, and Austrian experimentalists Fennesz. From
this past, Tolga's musical interest organically morphed into deep
techno, signed exclusively with Vakant, and became the label's
youngest-ever artist.

Since breaking into the electronic dance music consciousness with his
first ever release "Now I'm Weak EP" on Vakant (VA009) in 2006, he has
earned the esteem of fans and techno heavyweights the world over in
record time. Perhaps even more freaky, his lush and beautifully produced
debut EP was created from the most modest bedroom studio means and mixed
on headphones costing less than a round of late night drunken kebabs.
Almost instantly this EP got the attention of people like Sven Vath.
From there, in 2007 Tolga released "Venice / Tanbulistan EP" (VA014) to
critical appeal. Unprecedentedly a track from both his first 2 EPs was
licensed to Cocoon for their seventh and eighth season Ibiza mix
compilations.

Continuing his exclusive roll on Vakant, Tolga most recently let loose
his third installment "All Pleasure Is Relief EP" (VA018), a moving,
evolving, and sprawling electronic soundscape. This last work perhaps
best illustrates the breadth of Tolga scope incorporating a multi ethnic
feel, showcasing his musicality, and redrawing techno boundaries.

Together with Vakant, Tolga Fidan's bottomless sound, constantly
morphing arrangement, and eclectic sound design that somehow points
towards the orient have taken him so far in so little time.
