Özhan Özal

Özhan Özal is a pioneering Turkish DJ and producer whose journey began in 1988, when he started DJing while still in high school. At just 15, he began playing piano, laying the musical foundation for a career that would span more than three decades. Inspired by the evolving European dance scene of the early 1990s, Özhan developed a distinctive approach to remixing, blending global rhythms with Turkish music and bringing a new electronic sound to the Turkish club scene. From 1990 to 2009, he performed at leading clubs across Turkey and became known for his progressive and minimal house sound. More than a DJ, Özhan became one of the early artists to experiment with the fusion of Turkish melodies and international dance music, influencing the direction of Turkey's emerging electronic music culture. Today, Özhan Özal continues his musical journey through Organic, Ethnic and Afro House, combining deep electronic grooves, tribal rhythms and Mediterranean influences with his signature production style.
