East Project Podcast... UMUT AKALIN!

The East Project Podcast is back with a bang and it's all thanks to this top notch tech house mix from London based DJ/Producer Umut Akalin...


Enjoy!!



Can we have an intro please...

Hey all, I'm Umut Akalin, Istanbul born, London based DJ & Producer, label & radio station owner... I've been DJing for over 20 years and producing for over 10 years now. I've made a name for myself in Turkey and then decided it was time for a change so I moved to London and been focusing on several projects. I look after 2 radio stations and 2 record labels. Le Chic.FM and cafedelmar.fm as well as Natural High Records and Feng Shui. I've been releasing on some cool labels and collaborating with quite a few people in the scene now.

How does 2017 look like for Umut Akalin?

I’ve recently started a new project under the alias of Fake.Sake and the first release will be out in April on King Street, I'm rather pleased with that and the feedback I've received so far. Fingers crossed it will be a good one :)

Name one artist/producer who for you will stand out in 2017?

Hopefully Fake.Sake :)

Favourite track of moment and all time?

Lil louis - French Kiss (all time)
Oxia - Domino (Frankey & Sandrino remix)

Describe your remix on the upcoming EP018 release from "Greg N Grandi" in 5 words?

Driving, electric, pumping, deep, techy.
