Hello, my name is Haycan and I do DJ'ing, Music Production (ghost sometimes), Mastering, Marketing/Management Consulting and Design. I also own Destinesia Records, to know more: www.facebook.com/HaycanOfficial www.facebook.com/DestinesiaRecords Twitter: @Haycan | @DestinesiaMusic Instagram: @HaycanOfficial | @DestinesiaRecords
Haycan is about self-discovering. When I was younger, music wasn’t in my horizons… Then I start watching the effect that music had in people, in different cultures, in different times and contexts, I discovered a new world to explore. I went out to clubs, garage parties, raves, theathers, festivals, village parties, I consumed music as an addicted, without limitations on genres.
Though, I've been influenced by House Music, but it was missing something! Don’t get me wrong, I love House, but music is more than one single style.
I created HAYCAN to discover myself in music! When producing, I just let go, without thinking about genres or how it will be the final result... All I'm searching is quality and to identify myself with sound.... I'm a sound addicted!
