Originally from Istanbul, Kabadayi discovered his love for DJing and house music while living in Chicago. Eventually finding himself in Berlin, where the vibrant club scene inspired him to curate his own events, he founded @sound_of_utopia events agency, producing 'Land of Utopia' (18-hours, 2-floors) and 'House in Space' (34-hours, 3-floors) event series between 2018-2020.

Presently, Kabadayi splits his time between Berlin and the Turkish Mediterranean Coast, where he has been organizing 'Dream of Utopia’ — a 5-day music, wellness, and beach festival for an intimate crowd of 250 attendees — since 2020.

As a DJ, Kabadayi has performed at notable Berlin venues, including Anomalie, Burg Schnabel (ÆDEN), Polygon (OXI), Beate Uwe and Christa Kupfer. He finds inspiration in both Chicago's house and Berlin's tech-house scenes, favoring minimal and groovy deep-tech soundscapes. He loves long transitions where two tracks just can’t stop making love with each other, giving birth to unique sounds and atmospheres….
