Biography
Since 2006, Ozcan produced countless singles such as ‘Joypad’, ‘Indigo’ and ‘Cocoon’, along with mixes like ‘2011 Talla 2XLC Joins Ummet Ozcan - Techno Club Vol. 35’, that have seen the versatile DJ and producer rise to stardom. Ozcan’s single ‘Reboot’ spent seven weeks at number one on Beatport in 2011, and ‘The Code’, which topped the Beatport 100 and DMC Buzz Chart, peaked at no. 94 in the Dutch Singles Chart, marking Ozcan’s initial break in to the mainstream in 2013. ‘Revolution’ then peaked at no. 26 in the Official Record Chart of Belgium and no. 38 in the UK Singles Chart, before the 2014 track ‘Raise Your Hands’ also positioned amongst the Belgian and French listings. The electro-house DJ topped the Beatport Top 100 with the fist-pumping anthem ‘Superwave’ in 2014, and positioned at no. 31 in the DJ Mag 100 of 2014; he climbed 37 places from the previous year, the highest of any artist.
Ozcan may be likened to David Guetta or Sander van Doorn in the sense that he’s a unique talent in the EDM scene, and he’s worked with the likes of Calvin Harris, Paul van Dyk and W&W. The Dutch-born DJ continues to play at prestigious settings such as GodsKitchen, Pacha and Eden, whilst gathering an impressive following online - over 100,000 followers on Soundcloud and over 10 million hits on YouTube; the EDM DJ and producer is recognized as a mainstay headliner amongst electro-house and tech-trance fans alike.
Live reviews
As someone who is more than capable of mixing and producing music in the genres of techno, trance, house and electronic dance, Ummet Ozcan is your full package, versatile DJ. Half Turkish and half Dutch, Ozcan has been on the scene for a while and has worked with some big names, including Sander Van Doorn (under his own label Doorn records) and also Armin van Buuren. The 32-year-old performed at great set a few years ago at the Luminosity Beach Festival in June 2012 whilst sharing the stage with fellow performer Bart Claessen. The great thing about Ozcan's set that day which a lot of other DJ's fail to do on a regular basis is both mix and play their own tunes. The tunes 'Reboot', 'The Box' and 'Flatline' were some of his classics and he justly had his own set of dance moves for all of the songs. The man seems to make each track flow effortlessly into one another and can build up songs better than most other DJ's on the scene with smoke machines to accompany him whenever the tune drops.
Another thing about Ozcan during this set was his willingness to experiment with the different controls at his disposal. He will often change up the volume in a split second in order for another bass, drum or synth to be the main instrument on the track. For this reason and many others, Ummet Ozcan was a unanimous success on that particular day which was over two years ago... and he has grown much more as a DJ since.

Another export of the Netherlands into the world of dance music, Turkish born producer Ummet Ozcan has already had opportunity to rub shoulders with dance aficionados such as Calvin Harris and Tiesto. He has been releasing singles since 2012 and almost every track has charted well in his homeland as well as the likes of the UK and France.
He has yet to release a debut album yet this does not affect his setlist which keeps the whole crowd moving all evening. It is pretty difficult to see in the large room yet Ummet's hands do not stop moving the whole time in order to keep the consistency of the mixes to an exceptionally high level. He never seems content to just drop a track and let it play out, he is constantly experimenting and developing his own work and mixing it into some of the hottest dance tracks of the current day. This is assured to have the audience in hysteria and the vibes remain high all night long for this massive electro house party.
