WILDEAST was formed in 2011 when an Italian percussionist and a Turkish songwriter met in a street jam session in London and decided to create a new kind of world music which combined the best elements of the east and the west. Our music is a fresh blend of Turkish melodies, Middle Eastern percussion and the progressive beats of London's musical landscape. In WILDEAST, the gypsy clarinet meets Dubstep meets the Sufi flute. In our live shows we offer a theatrical experience , weaving stories, characters and harmonies into an ecstatic tapestry of sound. Fueled by the vibrant world music scene of London, WILDEAST offers a ritualistic journey for the dwellers of the urban concrete jungle.

Nu Park is an electronic band created by Oğuz Oner and Uran Apak. Their band name comes from the park where the duo spent their childhood in Istanbul. 
Inspired by downtempo, indie electronica and world sounds the duo aim to write music that is both rooted in Istanbul and also in dialogue with global travels, communities and influences. They invite listeners on journeys that are cinematic, poetic, psychedelic, groovy and tinged with melancholy.
Teaming up with guitarist Ozan Erkan, the band released their first EP ‘Promise’ in 2013 accompanied by interdisciplinary concerts that involved stage design, costume design and 3D mapping. Starting from the Istanbul indie music scene they built an international following, playing in European festivals such as Club to Club Festival in Torino and Orient Express in London. 
Nu Park’s performances often involve musical improvisation and in previous years they worked with vocal and sound artist Nilüfer Ormanlı and violin player İlker Görgülü and did concerts as a live improv collective. 
Recently the duo started working on new songs, reconnecting with their musical roots while giving birth to a reformed sound that grows from their life and musical adventures.

NOTE: I love doing collaborations! If you're interested just message me. I've been playing music since I was 13 years old. I'm inspired by several musicians but I tend find jazz, fusion, and rock to be the most intriguing genres. I primarily make instrumental music, not by choice (I can't sing). I like to have my own sound as ridiculous or unusual as it may be.  -Seth
