This week’s Throwback Thursday is about January 18th’s MTV Bloc Party headliner,Deniz Koyu. He is a Turkish producer/DJ who was born in Germany and fell in love with this profession in his early teens. He has not come out with any albums yet, but has a myriad of remixes and singles which have received immense critical acclaim for. The three songs covered in this article are “Tung”,”The Young Ones”,”What We Are”, and “Lose Control.”
Tung
Like every other #Tbt, the first song of the article is the first song the producer created which jettisoned his/her career into the limelight. Koyu was already a known commodity when “Tung” came out but became much more famous for this song after it came out a little over 2 years ago. It’s not old enough to really be considered a throwback, but there is no doubt that this is the reason as to why he headlines concerts and festivals worldwide.
The Young Ones
This is the oldest track in this article as it came out 2009. Koyu began his professional career in 2007 with a lot of remixes, so this is actually one of his very first singles. It is a progressive house track with a slow buildup leading to the drop. This will help show how he has changed his production style over the past couple of years from more of a progressive artist to a big room house artist today.
What We Are
This song first came out at the beginning of 2010 and is a Bangin Beats favorite. These vocals are perfect for sing alongs and the drop is sure to make the dance floor explode with raging excitement.
Lose Control
The original mix of the song by Deniz Koyu is excellent, but this remix is just as good or even a little bit better than the original. This is definitely a banger and a song that everybody needs to listen to!
The MTV Bloc Party taking place in Mumbai is going to be spectacular as the headliners of the Friday and Saturday shows are at the pinnacle of their careers and are guaranteed to bring the place down with their brilliant sets.
