U.F.U.K admits to being inspired by Derrick May and has a genuine touch of his musical style. His set consists of house and tech-house sounds, blending groovy beats and always manages to tune people into his own mind.
 
It all began back on a lucky day in 1983 when U.F.U.K found himself in a recording studio as a fourteen-year-old teenager. Years have passed since and it's still a big deal to take him out of his production studio. He didn't have a DJ role model growing up to show him the ropes of the business, which basically forced him to engineer his own personal style.
 
Playing in several parties and fashion shows, he received his first residency at Baca Bar. In 1991 he began playing at Cubuklu 29 and Etiler 29. As he took his new residency at Taxim Night Park the club became a legend in the scene, and so did his name. He was known by everyone who had ever stepped foot in Istanbul's alternative nightlife.

In 1993 he started playing at 19&20 and another legendary club named 2019 which was awarded the best underground club in Europe. As more and more people began to be interested in electronic music, he started doing his own show on Radio 2019. A new club, Millenium opened in 1997 and Ufuk had the chance to show everyone that a Turkish DJ could be just as good or even better than the best DJs around the world. During this period, he was also being booked to play all around the world. He had gigs in Club Roxy, Waakzamheid, Club Nikis and Marcanti Plaza in Amsterdam, Phonodrome and Orange in Hamburg, Fuse in Helsinki and more. As clubbing became a global trend, new clubs opened and U.F.U.K was always the first name on the list as a DJ, co-founder and musical director. Clubs like High-End, Magma, Scene and Switch were very successful projects he was personally involved in. 
 
He then began working as a producer, and started working on a project named Gazla with percussionist Ates Tezer. They began performing in Istanbul's then-famous club Switch and the feedback they received was overwhelming. Encouraged by the attention they went on producing and performing in several cities around Turkey and Europe. Performing at festivals scuh as J&B Dance and Techno Festival, Creamfields Istanbul, Braindance, Bughole, they’ve been avid supporters of the evolution of electronic music culture in Turkey.

He has played together with Carl Cox, Derrick May, Stacey Pullen, Masters At Work, Frankie Knuckles, Fatboy Slim, Derrick Carter, Armand Van Helden, and Joe Claussell.
He was the name to DJ at afterparties of concerts like Alanis Morisette, Massive Attack, David Bryne, Placebo, Moloko. He is also the first Turkish DJ to have played at the legendary Creamfields Festival in Liverpool in 2001.
 
U.F.U.K was one of the first DJs to love house music and spread that love in Turkey and is no doubt a pioneer in Turkey's nightlife and musical culture. He has always been a name to guide others who have an interest in electronic music.
