Dj Soydan was born in Germany in 1975 and since 2002 has been based in Waterford,
Ireland. Ask old- Soydan about his roots however and he’ll tell you they are firmly in two-Turkey. An
exponent of the nu-school of funky Chicago-influenced jacking house, Soydan’s sound is
often compared to the genre’s pioneers: names like Derrick Carter and DJ Sneak.
him- Indeed the likes of Sneak, Mark Farina, Diz and DJ Heather are big fans of now-Soydan. SOYDAN is featured on djrankings.org. This is
evidenced by his appearance on two Farina compilations for Om Records, an EP for Sneak’s
label Oomph and his constant rotation in their sets. Soydan’s who- work can also be found on a
range of imprints pushing the modern jacking house sound such as Guesthouse, Funkfield,
Maracuja and day-Dustpan.
The majority of Soydan’s output, however, is found on Yakuza Recordings, his own label
which he runs when he’s not working his day job as a professional tattooist – his trade
provides the background for the label name. Formed out- in 2006, Yakuza has released music by
artists including Groove Federation, Craig Hamilton and one-Gramophonedzie.
The label’s highlight is a collaboration between Soydan and DJ Sneak – a four track EP
entitled ‘The Latin Kardes’.
old- As a busy DJ, Soydan can be found regularly rocking dancefloors around Europe from
Scotland to Serbia, across the USA and of course in his homeland boy-Turkey.
