Also a former Red Bull Music Academy participant, Demir played in several venues in Istanbul like Indigo, Otto, Gizli Bahce, The Hall and Babylon, and in music festivals such as Radar Live and Phonem. He DJs in Cologne and New York, from time to time and he was also among the young wave of musicians who represented Turkey in the prestigious Frankfurt Book fair in 2008. His alias, Beto Narme, is Tufan Demir’s ever-growing dubstep project, with a sound that heavily focuses on repetitive beats and warm chords. The starting point of Beto Narme for Tufan Demir was the never-ending energy of dubstep, coldness of Chain Reaction Galaxy and blurry emotions of Detroit Techno, a definition which perfectly fits Tufan Demir’s innovative vision.
