Surrender
Hailing from the unlikely environs of Istanbul, Turkey, 23 year old Surrender ! has made an extraordinary impact in his short career to date.
Heralded by numerous blogs for his fresh-faced, unabashed brand of disco nouveau , one may recall his debut single 'Locate' topping the Hype Machine chart, the idiosyncratic funk of Phonat's mix of 'Travellers' reaching the top 10 on Beatport's Indie-Dance/Nu Disco chart, or his ode to 80s northern soul, 'Conflicted' clocking up more than 1000 downloads within one day of release.
Having received extensive support from a host of A-list DJs such as Aeroplane, Digitalism, A-Trak, Villa, Treasure Fingers and Moguai, Surrender ! unleashes his eponymous debut album in September 2012.
A tour-de-force of classic drum-machined house, vintage European soundtrack obscurity and feel good disco pop, the album features the talents of highly-vaunted Oakland songbird Jhameel (recently profiled in a full page Guardian spread) on single 'Hurry', due for release and the talents of UK electro producer Sharooz on the mix of 'Travellers', hand-picked by Digitalism for their iconic DJ Kicks compilation on K7!
