http://www.residentadvisor.net/dj/muratkilic Hailing from Sydney, Australia and raised by strict Turkish parents, Murat’s early experience of dance music was strictly from the dancefloor. This club habit soon turned in to an addiction of buying 12 inch records which is now an extensive vinyl library. Since then Murat has come a long way in establishing his career as a serious player on the underground music scene globally...
