JAKUZI:
Jakuzi is an Istanbul-based synth-pop band known for blending darkwave, post-punk, and new wave influences with Turkish lyrics. Founded in 2015 by Kutay Soyocak , the band quickly gained aKenLon with their debut album, Fantezi Müzik (2017), which was later re-released by Berlin-based label City Slang. Their melancholic yet danceable sound, inspired by arLsts like John Maus, The Human League, and Depeche Mode, has resonated with audiences both in Turkey and internaLonally.
Their second album, Hata Payı (2019), further solidified their reputaLon with a darker and more introspecLve sound. The band’s latest album, Madalyon I (2024), conLnues their evoluLon, exploring themes of idenLty, transformaLon, and emoLonal struggle with a refined, cinemaLc producLon style. Jakuzi has toured extensively across Europe, performing at major fesLvals and venues, and has built a loyal fanbase through their disLncLve aestheLcs, emoLonal depth, and dynamic live performances.
