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

PRETTY PINK - risen from the deep & dark woods of the Harz in Germany, a charming pink lady made a serious way through the steaming and raging international club zone to manifest her belief in the very finest tunes of tech, deep- and the most unique secret selection of house-music.

For Rune Reilly Kölsch, Kompakt has become a great label to call home. In 2013 the German imprint celebrated 20 years of record releases at the cutting edge of electronic music, championed in June by one of the most genre re-defining albums and personal music projects for an era: Kölsch’s landmark long player, ‘1977’.

A melodic autobiography on black wax, the Kölsch project has seen 36/37-year-old Rune take stock of a diverse and successful production career and draw upon his own personal beginnings: a nostalgia for childhood, family, friends and the confusion of applying his split-cultural heritage to what it means to think of ‘home’. As Rune freely admits, “being half Irish, half German and living in Denmark – it was all one big messy period of my life.” 

Born to hippie parents in the freetown of Christiania (a commune-like autonomous borough of the Danish capital Copenhagen) his childhood was spent surrounded by creativity. His mother was an artist whose family had roots in German politics and his father a singer songwriter who travelled through Asia playing music in the early 70's. Kölsch, however, did miss out on building friendships and found solace in making up “this imaginary world that I would spend days in,” before the family moved to Germany – a period of memories, relations and characters from which ‘1977’ derives its titles.

For Rune, the tracks he began building from 2010 took in this personal reflection, his being “completely locked in to reminiscing about what shaped me as a kid and into the individual that I am now” – contemplating his unique past to form the brickwork of ‘1977’, one of the most future-facing techno albums of recent years.

Influenced by hip hop, pop and the incredible legacy of Jeff Mills and Derrick May, Rune started producing in 1995, embarking on a string of success stories. In 2003 he released the multi-million selling, saxophone-infused ‘Calabria’, that saw collaboration requests pouring in from artists as diverse as Nicki Minaj, Shakira and Flo Rida. He then set up Tattoorecs – releasing pioneering underground tracks with no titles, just tattoos for artwork, that garnered critical acclaim and support from minimal and techno trailblazers such as Sven Väth, Richie Hawtin, Magda, Tiefschwarz and Ricardo Villalobos.

This appreciation of the complete musical spectrum has gifted Rune with a devotion to groove and melodics and with it the dexterity to input real creative change to the genres he reveres, not least his beloved techno. “2010 was the year of the ketamine house wave, where the music was 118 bpm and everything was extremely boring”, reflects Rune. “I wanted some melodic techno, some energy back in this scene. People needed the energy to express themselves and go crazy for a bit.”

This notion faced opposition, even from within Rune’s close circles. But it was Kompakt founder Michael Mayer who had the insight to see what Kölsch was trying to achieve. Rune’s conviction that vibrations and melodics are the key to human response had tipped the balance, underlined by his experience as a hip hop DJ where he “needed something to catch me and drag me in. And that’s what techno should do!” Here too he drew on his love of Jeff Mills and Derrick May, recalling how “they used to make mistakes all the time. It would be a big mash of all kinds of stuff, but at least something was happening. That’s what I was missing and that’s what I’m trying to change with the Kölsch project.”

The result is ‘1977’, a personal collection of dancefloor destroyers that are continuing to send clubs and festivals across the globe into melodic supernova. Take this video of Kölsch’s set at Belgium’s I Love Techno festival, one of Rune’s 2013 highlights, where “people were doing sit downs, singing along to all the tracks”. Watch it. It puts the hairs up on the back of your neck. “The response was overwhelming,” said Rune in a recent interview with Mixmag (who named Kölsch as one of their ‘Stars Of 2013’), as “when you think about it, it was just a bunch of childhood memories with a kickdrum underneath.” 

Elsewhere he’s ripped up the airways with an acclaimed Essential Mix for Pete Tong on BBC Radio 1, delivered his incendiary soundscape to Singapore’s world-renowned ZoukOut Festival, boomed his live show through the heaving basement of London’s XOYO and played the hallowed Space Terrace – in his words “a boyhood dream since I started going to Ibiza in 1999. That was what I wanted from life!” So opening Amnesia in 2014 with Joris Voorn will be a bonus then...

While these are reasons enough to keep the beaming smile beneath Kölsch’s trademark black fedora, his humility remains just as striking. While tracks like ‘Goldfisch’ have taken pivotal positions in the set lists of world class DJs from across the dance music spectrum – traversing the underground with Seth Troxler, while simultaneously providing credible new euphoric highs for the likes of Axwell – Rune remains joyously down to earth. All despite producing, with ‘1977’, an album that has crossed as many cultural and musical boundaries as his own childhood past.

From the face-twisting melodic drive of ‘Opa’ and ‘Bappedekkel’, to the chord-surfing piano groove of ‘Der Alte’ and the euphoric crescendos of ‘Lorely’, ‘Oma’ and ‘All That Matters’ (all hits in different countries), the fact remains that whether in your living room, on the dancefloors of the world’s greatest parties, or simply in your headphones on your way home, Kölsch’s ‘1977’ has re-defined techno and become an achievement that speaks for itself.

Over 20 Years of Electronic-Dance-Music :

Everything started with putting on of Hip Hop in 1987, and then GOET Z swung in the beginning of the 90th on to AcidandHip-House. Then later bigger DJ's jobs became from smaller events in House-and restaurant scene, the regularevents followed in the Ruhr area with which appeared up to 2,800 guests. It floated GOET Z also further to Kassel and Nuremberg, among other things for TV institutions, but also in Switzerland he is asked as a DJ!

Numerous appearances with MOGUAI, PHIL FULDNER,MIKE LIT T, LEXY & K PAUL and the DISCO-BOYS (to callonly some) followed; several Resident jobs were the naturalconsequence. Till this day the electronic dance musicremains his passion with the main focus on club / House /Electronica!

2013 is the year: GOET Z has brought out at the beginning of March his first and at the middle of May his second song on the Canadian label DASH DEEP RECORDS. In the Indiansummer his first Remix on SCHICKER RECORDINGS has been published and also further more is involved GOET Z invarious music productions and works, moreover, on an other DJ's project.

2014 there are again a few surprises, including there is another released at 03.03.14 on Esenwaren Recordings!

Beside 100% of professionalism which he introduces in thejob with the fun stands for the Recklinghäuser, however, of course also completely on top.

Actually, wanted to step GOET Z now as a young father much shorter, but...“What there is then the nicer, as that the guests with you properly want to rock!?“



Over 20 Years of Electronic-Dance-Music :


GOETZ fing schon 1987 mit dem Auflegen von Hip Hop an, schwenkte dann Anfang der 90er Richtung Acid und Hip-House. Später wurden aus kleineren Veranstaltungen dann größere DJ-Jobs in der House- und Gastroszene, es folgten regelmäßige Veranstaltungen im Ruhrgebiet, bei denen sich bis zu 2.800 Gästen einfanden. Es trieb GOETZ auch weiter bis nach Kassel und Nürnberg, u.a. für TV-Anstalten.

Zahlreiche Auftritte mit MOGUAI, PHIL FULDNER, MIKE LITT, LEXY & K-PAUL und den DISCO BOYS (um nur einige zu nennen) folgten, mehrere Resident Jobs waren die natürliche Konsequenz. Bis heute bleibt die elektronische Tanzmusik sein Steckenpferd mit den Schwerpunkt auf Club / House / Electronica!

2013 ist das Jahr : GOETZ hat am Anfang März seinen ersten und Mitte Mai seinen zweiten Song bei dem kanadischen Label DASH DEEP RECORDS rausgebracht. Im Spätsommer ist sein erster Remix auf SCHICKER RECORDINGS veröffentlicht worden und auch weiterhin ist GOETZ in diversen Musikproduktionen involviert und arbeitet außerdem an einem weiteren DJ-Projekt.

2014 gibt es wieder ein paar Überraschungen, u.a. gibt es eine weitere VÖ am 03.03.14 über Eisenwaren Recordings !!

Neben den 100% Professionalität, die er in den Job mit einbringt, steht für den Recklinghäuser aber natürlich auch der Spaß ganz oben.

Eigentlich wollte GOETZ jetzt als junger Vater viel kürzer treten, aber ...

“Was gibt es denn schöneres, als dass die Gäste mit dir richtig rocken wollen!?“
