Discography
Ikaru
Ikaru is a musical duo that was born out of a pure desire of identification with the expanded consciousness of the expressive qualities.

Originated in Ankara; Ikaru gets its main inspiration from the timeless and placeless resorts of human culture, intertwined both with beats and notes of antiquity as well as the mind-bending bleeps of synth-scapes.
Ikaru - Pacha is out!
A new release from Ikaru in collaboration
with the record label Alt Orient.
Ikaru’s journey initiated in 2016 as a quintet jamming in the home. Their first tracks were formed of different musical roots meeting together at a common basin, which incorporated live jamming, employing live instrumentation with drum machines and computers. They started to perform in local scenes with raw-psychedelic dub sounds. Over time, the band evolved into an electronic duo and their sound matured into a more refined form while retaining its connection to the first played melodies of the story.

Insisting upon a genre-free overall style, the sound of Ikaru resonates within a range of eclectic electronic beats, indigenous acoustic instruments, and psychedelic techno, sometimes revisiting a lush ambient style. The duo gained a big following in the alternative scene with their unique sound early in their career and performed to even wider audiences through adopting an audiovisual form of staging from time to time. They released their debut album Monolith in April 2021, which they believe to be compiling the first phase of Ikaru’s journey in its fragmented but solid form.
From the genesis of Ikaru, the duo kept working on their idiosyncratic expression style in music passionately. As result, Ikaru achieved a global listener base that is especially intensifying in Eastern Europe, Germany, France, and North America. Ikaru has worked on original releases with record labels from New York, Montreal, London, Paris, and Istanbul. Not only at clubs, festival stages, or private events, but they found chances to perform at wonderful relics of human culture like the Castle of Ankara, Crimea Memorial Church, and the Museum of Troy.
