Mustafa Cihan was born in Akcay village of Turkey. His interest in music began at his early ages. Music was something unidentified for him. It was more than just a hobby or interest; it was a passion for him. He was living at a summerly city and there were lots of clubs. Mustafa discovered a new way in his life when one of his family friends was employed as manager at one of these clubs. Coming this club at every turn, he was working with the pick-ups in which he was interested . This club was indispensable for him, because it was useful for him to improve himself. Then on a summer day he met Berk who was a resident dj at a different club. Appreciating the proposal that he recieved from him well, he began to work with Berk after he formed a case urgently. They worked together for a while. Later on in spite of his early age he encouraged himself and settled in Ankara which is the capital city of Turkey. This movement also enabled him to improve at his music career. Here he tried to survive by playing at several little clubs for some years. Then wih the help of one of his friends he met dj Sertac Kaya of whom he had heard a lot beforehand. Day by day he became good friend with Sertac Kaya and they began to work together at some organizations.
Mustafa was greatly influenced by him and with his supports he began to spend more time on house music which was his favourite. Then he headed for production and realized that there were things that he could achieve in here. The first piece that proved it was “ Turuncu†which effected the listeners with its vocals as well. The reactions to this piece which was published by Kaya Records was quite good although he expressed just his own feelings at the piece. His entering a world famous chart, Balance Pool Chart, proved his achievement as well. Then he composed some remix and re-edit works. Nowadays he is spending most of his time in the studio at his home by working on new pieces.
In his sets, he is trying to put forward house pieces with high dynamism that include electro and minimal aspects without making a style distinguishment. According to him, in electronic music there should be enthusiasm besides emotion. Sometimes it shall take someone up to sky and sometimes it shall carry one away. This is the vital point in music for him.
