Bogdan Irkük was born 1976 in Sofia, Bulgaria. His mother is of Hutsul ancestry. He grew up listening to the music of his brother's friend's pirate radio station, where he learned to appreciate Chic, Chaka Khan, Zapp, Stevie Wonder and Electric Light Orchestra.
He started releasing material after meeting the Rollerboys at a DJ gig in Munich.
Irkük's style draws heavily from Italo Disco, New York and Chicago House, and other forms of early styles of Electronic Dance Music. Use of vocoders and analog Synthesizer sounds are common in his songs. Irkük produces music on Ableton Live.[1]
