Murat Kilic - Sydney/Spice Cellar





MURAT KILIC (AUS)
(Stil Vor Talent / Reckless Republic)


Hailing from Sydney and raised by music-loving but strict Turkish parents, Murat’s early experience of dance music was strictly from the dance floor. This club habit soon turned in to an addiction of buying 12 inch records which has now become an extensive vinyl library. Since then Murat has come a long way in establishing his career on the underground music scene globally, with regular appearances at some of the world’s top clubs and production skills that are being sought after from top record labels around the world. As well he is the founder of a record label and is owner, booker & operator of Sydney’s best recognised nightclub and after hours.

DJ 

As a DJ, Murat is steadfast with over 10 years experience always armed with fresh music. His sets are creative and unique, often genre crossing between deep house, techno and disco. In his own words "At the end of the day, it is all about educating the crowd without boring them. Teaching people to appreciate new music whilst still getting them to dance themselves to oblivion". In the last few years, Murat has played in some of the noteworthy clubs around the world including Watergate Berlin, Electric Pickle Miami, the End London and further afield at Burning Man in the USA and Sunrise in Salvador, Brazil. With valuable deck time through his 8 year residency at Sydney after hours institution SPICE, his sets cater for the chin strokers and partygoers alike.

Murat spends a lot of his time doing something he genuinely loves. As well as travelling to DJ, he maintains a healthy schedule in his home city Sydney, where he produces his music, raises a child and owns/operates the Spice Cellar nightclub and entertainment company, Reckless Republic responsible for promotions, booking, touring and record label. In other words he is a workaholic!!
