BIO:
Ahmet was born in Kardjali, Bulgaria where he spent his childhood. His introduction into music came from his father's obsession with electronic equipment. At 10 years old Ahmet was so curious about how the electronic equipment worked that he began assembling and disassembling some parts of the electronic goods in his house. At the age of 12 Ahmet made his first steps in his music career by making his own remixes which showed his passion for music. In 1991 Ahmet's family decided to move to Turkey; that was the beginning of a whole new life for him. 
 
He was going to school in Izmir, one of the biggest cities in Turkey, and in the evenings Ahmet was working in some ordinary bars as a DJ. After graduating in 1995 Ahmet decided to continue his professional music career and started working as a resident DJ in one of the biggest clubs in Izmir called "Club Marina". Later Ahmet wanted to make a difference in his life and continued his music career in different cities in the world working as a DJ in successful parties and organizations. According to topdeejays.com in Turkey Ahmet became the #1 DJ in "DEEP HOUSE",  #1 DJ with the most followers in YouTube and multiple times #1 on Beatport Mixes

Berlin-based duo Booka Shade, aka Walter Merziger and Arno Kammermeier, have carved out a reputation as one of the most celebrated electronic acts to come out of Europe over the past two decades. 

With their beginnings in Frankfurt and their sights originally on synth-pop, the duo Booka Shade quickly gained a strong following within electronic music, and in 2002 the pairing formed the now legendary dance label Get Physical Music (together with M.A.N.D.Y., Thomas ‘DJ T.’ Koch and Peter Hayo), where they would have a platform for their own music. 

Three years later, in 2005, their EP’s ‘Mandarine EP’ and ‘Body Language’ - the latter co-produced with M.A.N.D.Y. - launched Booka Shade into the stratosphere with both EPs becoming international successes, whilst the following years soon welcomed an extensive body of work featuring a combination of stand out albums and singles that quickly achieved further global success.

Since their break-through performance at Sónar in 2005, Booka Shade have earned huge recognition with their innovative live shows, even being named one of Resident Advisor's Top 5 live acts in the world in 2010. They have opened for legendary acts such as Depeche Mode and Kraftwerk, whilst headlining stages at the likes of Coachella, Glastonbury, Rock Werchter, and Red Rocks just to name a few. In recent years, the band has appeared amongst the likes of DJ Mag’s ‘Alternative Top 100 DJ List’ (2018), whilst their notable live sets have led to key mentions amongst a host of distinguished festival reviews and round-ups, including placement within DJ Mag’s ’10 Unforgettable Sets From The History Of Exit Festival’.

Booka Shade were also inducted into Pete Tong's BBC Radio 1 Hall of Fame, having received strong support from the station throughout their careers, playing at both the ‘40 Years of Radio 1’ celebration with Annie Nightingale and the ‘20 Years of Essential Mix’ party, whilst also mixing Pete Tong’s ‘All Gone Ibiza’ compilation album. 

The duo’s fan base is in no way restricted to electronic music enthusiasts, with great success playing slots at the Montreux Jazz Festival, Lollapalooza, and more by utilising their massive crossover potential, which is as evident in their billings as it is in their remix credits, including acts like Depeche Mode, Moby, Hot Chip, Kings of Leon, Woodkid, The Knife and many more.

Add to the mix their Blaufield Music imprint, founded in 2013, and it’s clear and easy to see the pairing's musical knowledge not only as producers but also adept A&R’s, with releases to date on the imprint from both emerging and established talent alongside their own productions resulting in a string of releases and collaborations that can be regularly found amongst the upper end of Beatport’s Top 100 charts and championed by many of the industry’s biggest names.

Twenty years, dozens of EP’s and six albums later, Booka Shade have become more than a household name, they have become synonymous with the spirit which drives electronic music and have set a precedent to which electronic music is still held to today.

Hibrid was born in 1991 in Sarajevo, Bosnia and Herzegovina and is a young producer in the realm of deep and experimental electronic music.

His first experience with electronic music was at the age of 16, and so far he played in all the biggest clubs in Sarajevo and Bosnia and Herzegovina, and also in Amsterdam, Eindhoven, Tilburg (Ne), Vienna (Au), Zagreb, Tisno (Movement Croatia), Split (Cro), Belgrade, Novi Sad (Serbia), Corfu (Gre) etc. Hibrid performed as a warm-up alongside many world-known artists such as Solomun, Aril Brikha, Silicon Soul, Jonas Saalbach, Franz Alice Stern, Metodi Hristov, Kristina Lalic etc.

He started to produce music in 2010 and has released his music on various labels worldwide and he continues to push the boundaries of art in his work.  Music that he makes is filled with deep elements and melodic sequences. His tracks "Baseskijina Samoca" and "Samo Sanjar" are a mixture of local poetry and electronic music that was well accepted by local audience, and therefore they are the best reference for his unique style. In 2015 he released two music videos for his track “Da li biti Normalan” and his remix for Croatian singer Sara Renar, called “Jesen”. During the 2016. he published remix of track “Moramo” of indie-rock band from Sarajevo, Billy Andol, and also free download EP “The Way Leonardo DiCaprio Smokes Cigarettes” in collaboration with music channels Nie Wieder Schlafen and Sweet Melodic.  In his newest release in 2017, Hibrid takes a more experimental approach to creating electronica and he released his first album called Izgubljeni (Lost) followed by two music videos. Album received great support and it was placed in TOP 10 releases on Beatport’s Downtempo and Electronica Charts. Also, he presented Bosnia and Herzegovina on Burn Residency 2017 at Ibiza. In 2018, he released two singles with music videos, Zemlja Spava (Featuring Ajla Ramic’s poetry) and Opet se nadam.
His unusual, experimental approach to making music led to him being lauded as one of the most talented producers on Balkans.

Right now, Hibrid is working on new live project in collaboration with guitar player Adnan Salihović. After working together on his previous album Izgubljeni, the duo continues to explore their collective musical imagination. Their new effort is a unique amalgam of electronic music and visceral guitar sounds made for dancers and listeners alike. For 2020 they are preparing new album, including 11 tracks.

In 2014 he started to run his own label called Submarine Vibes, which is one of the biggest label in country and region. The label grows with each passing day, the unique artists, good PR and interesting design helping it make its presence known on the international music scene.
