I like to make music that tells stories, whether through descriptive acoustic ballads done with just me and the guitar, or an energetic live looping tune that brings people through a tale of sounds and feelings. Music is such an incredible gift from God and it's my calling to use it to get people to feel more connected to themselves and the beautiful world around us.

Özten is a genre-blending DJ and producer who focuses on mixing niche and cultural sounds from her own and the world's. Her sound is a harmonious blend of her Anatolian roots, rap music and contemporary electronic. One of her signatures is breaking the boundaries between Eastern grooves and Western beats, incorporating traditional instruments like the *bağlama* and *ney* into the vibrant realms of techno and house music. Drawing inspiration from the dynamic energy of UK rap, garage, jungle, and drum & bass, Özten infuses her sets with the spirit of community she experienced at events in Bristol and London.

Check out Özten's regular live show on Brixton Radio, where she displays her unpredictable yet satisfying music, blending all the way from house and drill to arabesk and bass music.

I am a London based designer and final year fashion student at the University of Westminster.

‍

My designs simultaneously challenge and exaggerate gender and identity through strong silhouettes and sculptural corsetry. I predominately work with dead-stock fabrics and incorporate unconventional found materials into my work. I love to create bold and dramatic looks and take a lot of my design inspiration from historical sources.
