Elektro Hafiz is a musician, born and raised in Istanbul, who has recently moved to Cologne, Germany.

The sound of Elektro Hafiz reminds us of the hypnotic wedding music heard in the border villages of southeastern Turkey. When the mind-blowing energy of this state of mind and Hafiz’s overdrive-fuzz tones come together, you will be the one to decide whether this is psychedelic or punk!

He loves to play with contrasts and create new compositions from there.

This open and experimental approach is still his trademark, along with his charming, provocative style that is complemented by a healthy dose of humor. His diverse compositions are heavily influenced by his Istanbul roots, which are reflected in his instrument of choice, the electric saz and electric guitar, in most of his pieces.
