Oceanvs Orientalis is an electronic music project founded in 2011 by Şafak Öz Kütle in Istanbul. With a bold, unconventional approach, the project redefines electronic music by blending organic textures with contemporary soundscapes, crafting an evolving sonic narrative that transcends borders.
Originally a visual artist, Öz Kütle made his mark in music with the 2015 Khronos EP under The Magic Movement, earning international recognition. His sound thrives on contrast between offbeat rhythms and dynamic tempo shifts, ranging from slow hypnotic grooves to high-energy pulses interwoven with deep electronic beats, creating a blend that is both familiar and unexpected.
Through his label, Kanto Records (est. 2017), he curates voices from diverse musical landscapes, shaping a singular, compelling sonic identity. He has collaborated with artists like Nightmares on Wax, Dave Harrington, and İlhan Erşahin and has released music on labels such as Crosstown Rebels, Kindisch, Buddha Bar, and Bar 25.
Having toured the world for over a decade, he has performed at major festivals, including Burning Man, Garbicz Festival, Fusion Festival, SXM, and the MIDEM conference. Continuing to push sonic boundaries, Oceanvs Orientalis invites listeners on a transformative musical journey.
