Born and raised in Istanbul, Ali spent his teenage years skateboarding and listening to music. He majored in photography but always had a keen interest in music and an urge to musically create something. Therefore during his university years he started to make amateur tracks using basic softwares.

In 2002 he started to disturb the neighbors with his djing experiments for which he temporarily borrowed turntables from a friend. In the following years, he played downbeat, trip hop, dub and electronica at bars and lounges while continuing his musical productions. Although he was doing ambient, minimal house and click & cuts in the beginning, his style became more and more techno oriented later on.

His first releases, in 2007, were rather minimal techno - tech house oriented. In the meantime his quest for newness continued as usual. Recently his sound became more and more inspired by chicago and detroit, and housey interplays became more apparent in his productions and dj sets.
