Taylan
Taylan (Mehmet Taylan) is a Turkey-based music producer, composer and live performer who blends traditional Anatolian melodies with modern electronic music, describing his own style as "Anatolian Folktronica." Trained in vocal performance and music technology at Istanbul Technical University's Turkish Music State Conservatory, with a background in Turkish Folk Music at Müjdat Gezen Conservatory, he layers traditional instruments like the ney and bağlama with electronic rhythms in his live performances, offering audiences a mystical, ritualistic experience; he rejects labeling Anatolian music as merely "ethnic music," arguing that these authentic melodies are truly universal and speak to the whole world. Reinterpreting deep-rooted folk songs like "Temir Ağa," "Arabım Fellahi" and "Kara Üzüm Habbesi" in electronic form for international audiences, Taylan has released works including "Ruzname" and "Kara Toprak" on prestigious labels like Kalan Müzik and Z Müzik, put out tracks on international labels such as Cafe De Anatolia, and played clubs in cities like Miami and Tel Aviv.
