We’re back for another TSIB episode and have invited Ece Ekren, who’s a producer, singer and songwriter and flute player, originally from Istanbul and now residing in Berlin.

Her rise has been meteoric over the past few years, and with good reason - her feel for melding esoteric melodies and instrumentation to house and techno grooves has seen her win many fans. We had a lot of fun listening to her set at our office. Absolutely worth listening to.
