Serkan Eles

Serkan Eles is the latest artist to join the Baikal Nomads roster with a stunning organic house release full of chilled vibes.

A Turkish artist living in Istanbul, Serkan Eles is a musician who transitioned from playing guitar to producing electronic music. His tracks are a blend of live musicianship and sequenced electronic sounds, and he has worked with respected record labels such as Pipe & Pochet, Sol Selectas, Bar 25 and Cafe De Anatolia.

"Not a Body" is the first of the four original tracks on this release, and it has got a slow burning groove with sparse percussion layered alongside tinkling melodies.

“Tatha” is a truly psychedelic track that builds on a steady trajectory led by some captivating percussion, then it gets truly mind-blowing when the breakdown introduces a melody synth reminiscent of a guitar solo.

“Joy” is a haunting track with beautiful melodies set against a spooky backdrop of distorted pads. Its hypnotic arpeggio and guitar chords add to the building tension, which is underpinned by a thick synth bass.

“Euphoria” closes the release in magnificent style, as its feel-good piano chords and ethereal pads are propelled by up-tempo snare hits. It’s a sparkling track that feels like rays of glorious sunshine breaking through an overcast sky.
