makadam

Makadam is a Berlin-based DJ renowned for seamlessly blending raw techno with deep, groovy house elements. Launching his career in the early 2010s, he quickly established a reputation for dynamic and unpredictable sets that echo the energy of Berlin’s underground. Makadam’s musical journey began in Istanbul, where early exposure to eclectic sounds fostered his love for electronic music.

Moving to Berlin expanded his sonic palette and gave him access to legendary clubs like Berghain and ://about blank, where he further honed his sound. With his signature fusion of driving basslines and hypnotic synths, Makadam has shared the stage with figures such as DVS1, Paula Temple, and Courtesy. He is equally comfortable headlining packed warehouse parties or playing intimate after-hours sessions, always bringing a meticulous attention to detail and an infectious enthusiasm for crate digging.

In addition to his club appearances, Makadam’s mixes have garnered an international following online, featured on platforms like HÖR Berlin and Rinse FM. His productions—released on independent labels like Construct Re-Form and his own imprint, Segment Fault—reflect the same adventurous spirit as his DJ sets, balancing dancefloor intensity with rich percussive textures and melodic undertones. Driven by a commitment to community and an openness to sonic experimentation, Makadam continues to push the boundaries of genre, working with newcomers and veterans alike while remaining true to the rebellious energy of Berlin’s nightlife.
