Ugur Dogan’s creativity has began his musical adventures from the childhood and performed later many years as DJ in clubs and radios. Developing in producing and finding his own vibrations has always been his primary goal.
He began in the early developing years of PC’s with Screamtracker, Cubase and all the other sequencers. His road flowed to the vinyl and developed in music as a DJ in the Netherlands and Turkey. From 1996 to 1998 he played in many different clubs like 2019, Twenty across Turkey.
In 1997 he was the first DJ in Turkey on radio 2019 to play underground experimental music. Labels like Basic Channel, Chain Reaction to Philip Glass and Steve Reich was the first meeting of Turkey with experimental.
From 1999 till now he developed himself to become all-round Producer.
His first album Gam-I Âzâd will be his first test to know how far he is on his road.
(All instruments, vocals, recording, arrange, mix, design, you name it, everything is composed, performed and produced in his own studio by
Ugur Dogan )
Unfortunately not yet. Played a lot as DJ tough.
I'm a real creative fusion person. I like to fuse every sort of genre that i've explored so far. Listeners will notice this.
Alot of virtual instruments.
Ugur Dogan is fascinated by the undiscovered textural potential electronic instruments allow in his compositions. The process of composing is directly connected to the discovery of sonic events through experimentation and improvisation.
Ugur Dogan’s music is meant to create an atmosphere that encourages introspection and meditation. It is music allowing the focused listener the depth for sonic exploration.
G a m - I Â z â d has many meanings like free of doubt's, free of problems, to be no one's slave and move in total freedom.
G a m - I Â z â d is the first album of Ugur Dogan and has many crossovers between east and west. It is hard to label it as one style genre. It is dynamic and touch genres like Electronic Experimental, Worldfusion, Cinematic and Ambient.
After 21 years in the Netherlands, Ugur Dogan missioned himself to live a life in his roots in Turkey to give his project the main and the final touch.
' The attraction was the sounds of the present and the old history of Anatolia and Mediterrane that goes back thousands years of civilizations where i felt the mystery of music.
I moved to the middle of the mountains in the Medeterranean with my equipments. Here i live between the undiscovered histories that lie around and beneath me. I also travel in Anatolian mysteries and will travel and experience a lot more.
I call it a calling that had to happen. This mystery is the same as mine project that had to develop by guidance and inspiration. It surely helped me for all the struggle that i made to come so far.
This and later projects will be a part of this Mediterranean and Anatolian vibes.
It is the reason why the label is called Meditolia.
It is an event that has to be listened to.
