DARDA is an Istanbul-based electronic music band that was formed by Çağkan Akçaba and Emir Buğra Kazak as a result of years of experience and sincere friendship, uniting the city's energy with a fresh language.

Their debut single, "Ghosts of Pera", invites listeners to an imaginary Beyoğlu tavern situated in the heart of Istanbul, a crossroads between the East and West. In this single, Çağkan and Emir build bridges between the original essence of jazz and their own unique sound, blending their musical narratives with dance rhythms; and inviting lost souls to find a meaning within Istanbul's mystical atmosphere.
