London-based DJ and producer Zeynep Erbay is known for house-centered sets built on long-form storytelling and precise control of energy. Starting from deep, hypnotic foundations, her performances gradually evolve into full peak-time intensity, connecting records across eras while maintaining a strong sense of flow on the dancefloor.

Rooted in Istanbul’s underground culture, Erbay’s sound moves fluidly between nostalgic disco-inflected records and more percussive, groove-driven and hypnotic territories. Her background as a classically trained pianist shapes her approach to pacing and structure, allowing her to guide energy patiently over extended stretches of time.

With releases on Soul Clap Records, Compost Records, NuNorthern Soul and Exploited Records, Erbay reflects a musical vision that balances emotional depth with physical momentum. Her sets invite the dancefloor into a shared journey where rhythm, memory and movement unfold together.

At Sónar Istanbul, Zeynep Erbay brings a sound that bridges underground house culture with carefully shaped dancefloor storytelling.
