Emirhan Çelikbilek, an Istanbul-based producer, DJ, label owner, and filmmaker, launched his solo project 'Emiran' in 2021. Beginning with classical piano studies in his early years, he later immersed himself in Turkish traditional folk music, a significant source of inspiration, seamlessly blending timeless and modern elements in his music. Under the Emiran project, he crafts authentic sounds by merging diverse samples, acoustic compositions, and digital experiments, primarily exploring electronica, downtempo, and melodic techno genres. Drawing influence from world, modern jazz, and minimal music, Emiran showcases his music globally at prestigious festivals and events, such as The Burning Man Project. He continues to oversee his label and music video production company, Akustikhane, as he gets ready to add Sónar Istanbul 2024 to his international accolades.
