Influences: DJ Ipek Ipekcioglu was born in Munich, Germany, in 1972 as the daughter of Turkish immigrants. She grew up in the Diaspora where her identity took shape from both an oriental and occidental lifestyle. During this time Indian Musicals was extremely popular within the Turkish community to which Ipek belonged.

With the tunes and imaginary repertoire of so called Bollywood productions, the mixing of musical and cultural input was introduced to her at an early age.

Basically, as a DJ, Ipek has continued this trip, moving across musical and cultural borders and taboos, bringing her audiences dancing along.
