As one project ended, another came to life. This is how the story of Minstrel was born from its
roots. Emre Akcay, one of the brothers who had been performing under the spotlights as Burak &
Emre until a few years ago, redefined himself and his sound as a solo act who combines his
trance music DNA with dark and deep techno rhythms.
Minstrel reinterprets the experimentalism of the Renaissance period with my music and visuality.
As Minstrel started to draw listeners and crowds into his production and sets, he managed to
perform with international acts all over Turkey.
Minstrel defines his sound as an interstellar dark journey, bringing hypnotic energy to the dance
floor by combining shimmering bassline and high energy drums blended with vocals morphing in
and out of focus. The expression of the old and new components he created between his
high-energy sets helps him to convey the spirit of the period in his own world.
