As with the moon and its far side, to deny our darkness would be to deny that which makes us whole. Veytik—a veteran combat engineer turned audio engineer, producer, and DJ—embraces this duality through his music. His ever-evolving sound adjusts its focus across a spectrum of moods that both shape and are shaped by his very essence.
As a producer for almost 10 years, the Art Vibes label boss has multiplied projects and relentlessly ran in the melodic techno & deep, organic, progressive house circuits, connecting with others on the path of music as therapy. The resulting listen is often haunting and thought-provoking, resonating a depth and pain that Veytik has come to seek safety in, not from.
Veytik’s style continuously evolves alongside his own growth and his response to world events. Featured on a variety of labels — Cafe De Anatolia, Shango Records, Harabe, Trndmsk, ICONYC, Closing Sounds, Tibetania Records, Camelriders, Souq Records, 90 Watts [Manual Music], Click Records, Re:Sound Music, and his imprint, Art Vibes—it wavers between eclectic influences, from ‘80s, synth-infused cinematic, to the heyday of ecstatic trance music and more recent deep, melodic, and organic house sounds. His fusion of piano, guitar & sound design is always handcrafted, every project made from an internal emotion and voice within. Veytik will never take a project on he doesn't connect with.
This last undertaking is reflected in his 'Akkulturatyon' mix series, a year-long project exploring how sharing culture and experiences through sound attacks prejudices and paves the way for progress. Uptempo positive energies mixed with similar yet melancholic vibes and live keys. And 'Akkulture' mixes which are a more downtempo & ancient-rooted sound.
After his disco project as D1rty Kickz where he toured and played 80's tech house & live talk box all over the world and after his his recent melodic techno theatrics, Veytik’s new deep chapter roams with the same dark undertones mixed with uplifting dualities. Crafting a place of obscurity, acceptance, and illumination. More than ever, the artist is ready to reach out, break barriers, and build bridges from all the facets of who we truly are—our whole.
His project and main mission statement of acculturation is growing with the influence reaching & connecting artists
