Biography
Describing himself as a part-time DJ and full-time record collector, Rubsilent's connection with house music dates back to the 1990s, when electronic music culture was beginning to gain momentum in Türkiye. He started building his vinyl collection in 1996, driven by a passion for underground sounds. In 1999, he became a resident DJ at Loop, one of the first venues to introduce house and techno to Istanbul's Asian side. In 2000, he moved to Chicago for his university education, where he connected with local DJs through college radio and performed at numerous raves, club nights, and private parties across the American Midwest. During this period, he also continued performing in Istanbul and contributed guest mixes to Radio FG. Since returning to Türkiye in 2007, his sets have regularly aired on FG 93.7, while he has performed at venues and festivals including Indigo, Suma Beach, Berlin's About Blank, and Belgrade's 20/44. Drawing from an extensive vinyl archive spanning Chicago and New York house to Detroit techno, Rubsilent has shared the stage with artists such as Derrick May, Juju & Jordash, A Guy Called Gerald, Tama Sumo, Lil Louis, and Slam.
