Clone Kent – Action / Adventure (Original Mix) by clonekent

Clone Kent was launched by Kaan Turkyilmaz in 2008. The project is melted by his past influences into a techno-based structure. His productions reflect a dynamic perception and a minimalist conception with a constantly evolving experience blended with his style.

He was born in Ankara, Turkey in 1978. At a very early age, his father drew Kaan’s attention to electronic sounds by tools like Jupiter-8 and CR-78. Music was always a passion. He took piano & composition lessons, played trumpet for the school band, produced many songs by using softwares like OctaMed & Voyetra Midi Editor in his teen hood. The interest for electronic dance music began with the 80′s hot club tracks from UK bands like S-Express, M.A.R.R.S. and Acid genre in early 90′s. After college, while he was studying Mechanical Engineering, an Ankara-based club named Pulse8 had great impact on his perception of dance music, especially techno. From then on he produced many amateur dance tracks by using various softwares & his faithful and long in service equipment.

In early 2004, he moved to Istanbul and launched “Fino Attack” production & performance project with his friend Tugce Yazici (Badme). Their first non-commercial album “Synthoxica” which consists of kitsch electro sounds of 80’s with analogue themes was released in March 2006. After a short time, in fall 2006, the second acid-electro album “Elektrolyted” released out from English fair play label BeatPick Music and a nasty release “i-Kontrol” from Canadian label Bugeyed Records. During this time, they performed 10 channel live electro & techno mixes in many well-known nightclubs in Turkey.

In 2008, Kaan began producing techno again with an improved mind of art. Having signed as management artist of Redukt Record Label in 2009, he is also contributing the label as a production supervisor. Since 2006 once a month, misty mixes are spinned by Clone Kent as the host dj of Reduktiv Radio Show at Dinamo FM with fellow Badme.
