Istanbul producer and DJ Ongun Tutuncu delivers a pair of inspiring cuts on the Munich label ZEN DNA. Tutuncu blends influences into a style distinctly his own, evident from the first bars of the opener, Made Out of Chrome. The piece probes transhumanist ideas with a wry edge. Driving rhythms and a forceful bass line yield to a refined, wistful melody that shifts moods through a precise arrangement. Crystal-clear structure, quantized sequences, and vocoders deliver electros hallmarks—yet infused with a sunlit Mediterranean emotional core. The follow-up, Kill 'Em, teams Tutuncu with fellow Turk Mert V., whose work spans shadowy experiments with punishing kicks and industrial textures alongside buoyant ghettotech. Their joint effort fuses breakbeats, hip-hop cadences, street vernacular, wobbling bass, and hybrid basslines carrying a ghettotech spirit. Epic builds, unpolished depth, hardcore edges, and stark emotional pivots create a genre mash-up that channels raw energy.
Art Was Art returns on ZEN DNA with Transactional Sex Protocol, a concept-driven release exploring intimacy as a regulated system. Precise electro rhythms and an ominous, tightly controlled ambience turn human connection into a transaction. The release includes three tracks. The original Transactional Sex features modulated vocals that blend science-fiction sensibilities with human themes. Protocol is an instrumental that follows a strict sonic pattern, where arpeggiated sequences and processed textures create a disciplined, cinematic, cyberpunk-ready atmosphere. An instrumental version of Transactional Sex closes the release with controlled intensity. Intimacy authorized. Engage the protocol.
