A musical purist in terms of inspiration, Charles Pierre draws from soul, funk, disco, hip-hop, r&b and many other genres to catalyse his thoughts and galvanise new works. Outside of originals and remixes, he is also building a solid rep via the medium of recycling seminal pieces of music and putting his stamp on things in the form of Charles Pierre edits - with impressive effect.

His sound is heavily influenced by groove-focused tech house, championing distinctive and memorable bass melodies combined with layers of dance-inducing percussive factors. If you were to compare his sonic signature, it has many striking similarities to that of Joey Daniel, wAFF and Marco Carola - something that becomes quickly apparent when you look at Charles’ release catalogue and the ethos behind the labels he has signed music with.

Since landing a standout release on Solid Grooves in 2017, Charles has gained the support of a plethora of industry peers including the likes of Paco Osuna, Joseph Capriati, Steve Lawler, Latmun, Solardo, Michael Bibi, PAWSA, Wade and of course Marco Carola himself.

With many of the game’s major players frequently supporting Charles, it’s no surprise that he has already graced the majority of London’s most revered venues including Ministry of Sound, Printworks, Studio 338, E1, The Steelyard and more. Outside of his UK exposure, Charles has also appeared on the White Isle, most notably in the form of a b2b2b with Michael Bibi and Franz Costa on his debut for Solid Grooves at Benimussa Park.

Charles’ impressive resume has seen him play alongside the likes of PAWSA, Reelow, Dennis Cruz, Cuartero, Hector Couto, Neverdogs, ANOTR, Detlef, Nathan Barato and many more. What he has already achieved makes a worthy accomplice to what is yet to come, with several key releases on major labels and high-profile performances in the pipeline for the not too distant future.

Sinan Mercenk is by far more than your regular studio musician. He is a producer, songwriter, a radio programmer and a skilled DJ as well. If Sinan is djing, he delivers a set full of variety and is always looking beyond his own nose. 

The beginning
It all started  back in 1994 when Sinan Mercenk released his first single on legendary Container Records, hailing from Hamburgs famous redlight district Reeperbahn! These were the heydays of House music and Sinan started to dj across Hamburg and later on across Germany. Our smart guy belongs to the very first generation of House music, you might say. And because of his fresh style plus his outstanding selection Sinan swiftly became a well-booked Club-DJ worldwide. Helpful for his dj-career was definitely that Sinan is a diligent worker and so he released several singles on credible labels starting in the mid 90ties. No wonder that his discography is large and his ouput still numerous to this day.  Additionally Sinan Mercenk became an in-demand remixer step by step. He worked for major-labels like Motown and high-profile artists ranging from De-Phazz, Tarkan, Mustafa Sandal to Eddie Matos, Channel Two, Pamela and Levitation or Blank & Jones to name a few. 

Today
Finally in 2008 Sinan Mercenk started his own label ideedeluxe records based in Hamburg. It is his creative playgournd really and on this self-owned imprint Sinan released his debut album called  "Moments On Earth" in the very same year. On this varied album Sinan is prefectly showcasing his cosmopolitan character as a composer.
Sinan Mercenk is living between two worlds, Orient and Occident that is. His actual roots and his social background merging two worlds and you can definitely hear that on his two albums „Moments On Earth“ and „True Collection“ and several EP´s and Singles he is releasing! And while he is steadily communiting between his hometowns Hamburg and Istanbul he´s filtering the best out of these two worlds for himself and is clerverly mixing it into his music. Regardless of whether Sinan Mercenk mixing, producing, remixing or compiling, the club's unique social space for the curation and enjoyment of music is always on his mind. It is also why he's continually got responses from some of the renowned singers with whom he then worked, like is last EPs with Karl Frierson „Walk With Me“ or Pat Appleton „Curiosity“. On his new release "Occupy My Heart" Sinan Mercenk collaborate with Adriana Kaegi, co-founded the legendary band „Kid Creole and the Coconuts“.

And where he find’s next to his many jobs the time for three radio shows? That we don’t know ...
