Life and career

Ummet Ozcan is the son of Turkish parents; he was born and grew up in the Netherlands. He says that his Turkish background only unconsciously and barely recognizably influences his music, but he still considers Turkey as his country. [2]

His releases signed to Spinnin' Records are supported by DJs like Sander van Doorn, Armin van Buuren, Tiësto, Calvin Harris and Hardwell.[ citation needed ] Özcan is also known for his softsynth and soundbank design for well established music software houses like Rob Papen (Albino, Predator) and for hardware units such as the Access Virus. [3]

His hits include "TimeWave Zero" and "Arcadia" on Doorn Records and "Shamballa" on Reset Records, all sublabels of Spinnin' Records. In his early years, Özcan produced techno-influenced trance music for release under Reset Records. After nearly five years, Ummet's production shifted focus towards the electronic dance music movement.

In late 2012, he started performing big room house alongside Dimitri Vegas & Like Mike and R3hab for release on the main Spinnin label. In recent years he dedicated himself to other sub-genres and gradually quit big room house. He produced remixes for worldwide known artists such as Tiësto ("Wasted") and Axwell & Ingrosso ("More Than You Know").
