Born and raised in Istanbul, studied in London, and relocated to Paris in 2005, cosmopolitan producer Tolga Fidan still considers himself Turkish above all else. At the age of 14, Tolga was playing bass and guitar in post rock bands. Always drawn to experimental music, he was taken with the sounds of Sonic Youth, Autechre, Pansonic, and Austrian experimentalists Fennesz. From this past, Tolga's musical interest organically morphed into deep techno, signed exclusively with
Vakant, and became the label's youngest-ever artist.
