Onur Özer began his musical career in the late 90's, when house and tech-house were making a resurgence in Istanbul. In a city, oppressed by both a stifling heat and a musical style equally as stagnant, Onur helped battle to change the old rules and break old habits, breathing fresh life into a dispirited club scene. Armed with his vinyl case, still dressed in his shabby student clothes, he entered the clubs to share his biggest passion, dancing without reason. Word quickly caught on and the clubs soon filled up for Onur's increasingly renowned sets and releases for him to become the first internationally recognized figure in Turkish techno.
