Zeynep Erbay is a London-based Turkish DJ, producer, and musician whose journey bridges classical roots, club culture & cultural storytelling. Trained as a pianist at the conservatory, she spent years immersed in classical repertoire while exploring jazz, fusion, and dance-floor-driven sounds, a foundation that continues to shape her melodic sensibility today.

Back in Istanbul, she curated influential radio shows and immersed herself in the city’s vibrant underground culture. Her sound flows from house to disco to deep and cosmic elements, blending acid-tinged and percussive grooves and hypnotic rhythms, an energy that moves between playful peaks and intense driving moments.

Her downtempo Healer EP on NuNorthern Soul drew support from Damian Lazarus, Glenn Underground, and Jkriv. She has released on Soul Clap Records, Compost, Exploited, and Fool’s Gold, with her track Flowers featured on Compost’s Future Sound of Jazz 11 alongside Solomun & Stimming, Dennis Ferrer, and Koop. Her remix for Soul Clap & Egyptian Lover earned recognition from Chloé Caillet, Make a Dance, and Soul Clap themselves. Her past releases have also been supported by Horse Meat Disco, Erol Alkan, and Peter Kruder.

Zeynep has performed at Sónar Festival, ADE, Boiler Room, HÖR Berlin, Istanbul Jazz Festival, Nublu NYC, London’s ICA, and the iconic Berghain, Panaroma Bar. Through her show Moments on the Floor, she celebrates the roots of dance music while exploring its emotional & communal dimensions.
