Murat Kilic
DJ
Bio:
Hailing from Sydney, Australia and raised by music-loving but strict Turkish parents, Murat’s early experience of dance music was strictly from the dancefloor. This club habit soon turned in to an addiction of buying 12 inch records which has now become an extensive vinyl library. Since then Murat has come a long way in establishing his career on the underground music scene globally, with regular appearances at some of the world’s top clubs and production skills that are being sought after from many forward thinking record labels from around the world; labels like Stil Vor Talent, Drop Music and Lost My Dog. 


As a DJ, Murat is steadfast with over 10 years experience always armed with fresh music. His sets are creative and unique, smoothly genre crossing between deep house, techno and disco. In the last few years, Murat has played in some of the noteworthy clubs around the world recently appearing at Watergate/Arena/Horst Kreuzberg in Berlin, Electric Pickle-Miami, the End - London and further afield at Burning Man in the USA and Sunrise Festival in Salvador, Brazil. With valuable deck time through his 5 year residency at Sydney institution SPICE after hour club, his sets cater for the chin strokers and the partygoers alike with an intelligent blend of music always changing and always unique. 


In his own words "At the end of the day, it is all about educating the crowd without boring them. Teaching people to appreciate new music whilst still getting them to dance themselves to oblivion".
Since 2008, Murat Kilic has had a steady schedule of music being released on a variety of labels across the Tech House, Deep House and Techno genres. Starting with a succession of remixes on Tech House imprint BEEF Records in 2008, Murat followed these up with an EP for Oliver Koletzki’s Berlin based Stil Vor Talent which helped establish his reputation as someone to watch. Since then Murat has had a follow up release on Stil Vor Talent and a string of remixes racking up plays and support from the likes of Joris Voorn, Jimpster, Nick Warren, Inland Knights and M.A.N.D.Y. Murat’s productions are well-defined and notable with releases on labels like Stil Vor Talent, BEEF, Stereo Seven, Lost My Dog, Kaato, Subsonic, Long Distance and Tribal Vision. Two of Murat’s remixes in 2010 went as high as no.16 and no.22 on the Beatport Deep House charts in August 2010 and December 2010. 


Murat spends a lot of his time travelling across countires and continents doing something he genuinely loves. . . . producing, playing and presenting electronic music in as many formats, clubs and festivals as humanly possible. He maintains a healthy work schedule in his home city Sydney, where he runs the successful SPICE after hour club and Reckless Republic - touring agency, event promoter and record label. In other words he is a workaholic but a happy one!
