“Narcissus is a painting by the Italian Baroque master Caravaggio, painted circa 1597–1599.

Narcissus, according to the poet Ovid in his Metamorphoses, is a handsome youth who falls in love with his own reflection. Unable to tear himself away, he dies of his passion, and even as he crosses the Styx -a river that forms the boundary between Earth and the Underworld- continues to gaze at his reflection.

The painting conveys an air of brooding melancholy: the figure of Narcissus is locked in a circle with his reflection, surrounded by darkness, so that the only reality is inside this self-regarding loop.”

Scenes from a Memory | Part 4 - Narcissus

Hailing from the vibrant fabric of Istanbul, the city where continents collide and cultures intertwine, bilgeco emerges as a musical alchemist, fusing the mystique of the East with the pulsating energy of the West. Now firmly anchored in the mesmerizing embrace of Amsterdam's electronic music scene, bilgeco stands as a cross-cultural conduit, using his melodies to build sonic bridges that span the globe.

Stepped into the electrifying energy of Amsterdam’s nightlife, bilgeco commanded stages at established venues like WesterUnie and -the iconic- Loft alongside international artists under the Hunkering label. A collaboration with Berlin based Sound of Utopia took him back to his homeland, where he has been a resident in multiple editions of the Dream of Utopia Festival.

In his spellbinding sets, he embarks on nothing short of a magical journey: organic house blended with dreamy oriental melodies, powerful African percussions, bouncy house beats and spacey synths. He acts as a harmonious force, a navigator of sound who traverses borders, genres and cultures with finesse.

bilgeco believes music is more than sound; it's an emotion that reaches deep within. So, close your eyes, open your heart and enjoy.
