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.

Tolga Fidan appears with his debut album proper, a year since his top mini-album 'We're Strangers Now' appeared. As usual, his sound strikes effortlessly, sturdy house base with smatterings of vocals, encased in heavenly synth swells and some post-punk leanings adding that edge which sets him apart.
