Mehmet Atamtürk aka Privilege, is currently one of the leading electronic music djs born in 1980 , Nicosia – Cyprus with full of passion for music…
He started playing guitar and piano at the age of 7, completing many grades successfully.
Realising electronic dance music was not so far away, instantly drawn to the trance sound with deep emotional melodic synths and immense breakdowns! The early years of 1990’s !
He was a discriminating listener at first , with an archive of hunderds of tapes, vinly & cds.
As years pass by, he never lost addiction to music and continued his education becoming a master degreed electronic engineer.
In late 90’s he got his first cd decks and started improving his music knowledge. Soon he was impressed by techniques of other trance dj’s and wanted to make these skills his own.
He created his own unique sound combining deep melodic touch with epic & progressive elements aiming to present listeners quality and privileged sets.
Partying with friends at home was soon followed by radio shows and mind blowing events.
In 2006 he had his own “2 hours non-stop live mix” internet broadcast radio show.
