Jakuzi

Jakuzi is an Istanbul-based synth-pop and post-punk band. Their first two albums, Fantezi Müzik (2017) and Hata Payı (2019), were released through Berlin-based label City Slang, establishing the band as one of the defining acts of Istanbul’s contemporary underground scene. Their third album, Madalyon, released in two chapters, draws inspiration from B-movie horror, teenage slasher soundtracks, lo-fi recordings, and modern Turkish poetry. Following the release of Madalyon I, the band toured extensively across Europe and is currently completing the second chapter. Blending melancholic melodies with danceable rhythms, Jakuzi has built a devoted audience both in Turkey and internationally. Their companion project, Jakuzi on Piano, reimagines their songs in intimate, chanson-inspired arrangements.
