Two Decades
Behind The Decks
1999 was not just a starting date for Emrah Canpolat, it was a turning point. Along with the turntables in his hands came a way of interpreting music: approaching the same track with an ear entirely different from everyone else's.
Today, that reflex lives in tech house and techno. His sets, woven from constantly shifting dynamics, tension that never drops and an energy that never lets the floor rest for a moment, are his signature.
Eight years of his career were spent at Inferno, regarded as one of Europe's best clubs. In the booth he stood as music director, while behind the scenes he ran the club's entire booking and event direction. To date he has shared the stage with Bob Sinclar, Fedde Le Grand, John Digweed, Axwell, Nick Warren and many more.
When it was time to build his own empire, a 4,000-capacity giant emerged: Obsession. Soon after, this network grew into the founding of Substance Agency, an international artist management and booking company.
Reaching the final of Pioneer's Best DJ of the Middle East competition opened the international chapter of his career: Russia, Ukraine, Kazakhstan, Greece, Moldova, Romania, Germany, Hungary, Austria, Pakistan and the United Arab Emirates.
He also stood on the other side of the stage as technical director on Cirque du Soleil's 90-day tour of Turkey.
