“Join the circle, tune into my channel”. (from ‘Join the circle’) Electro-disco with a vicious balearic-vibe. Add the euphoria of a Turkish halay dance. Beats that redefine the eighties, bleeps that honour the nineties, rapping that manoeuvres through the 2.0-millennium. Join the circle, be part of the story. Merdan Taplak is a mediator on In It For The Honey. Meet the relentless shaman of beats who plunges the complete dance floor in his musical melting pot. Do not try to label him; labels do not stick on him. Do not attempt to interpret him; it is impossible to read between the lines. His vibes manipulate the party people as if they were puppets. However, he does not pull the strings randomly. In It For The Honey offers you the sweet feeling of the club but there is more. Merdan Taplak serves the 50/50-people their soundtrack. Who is he, really? Just some Belgian guy with Turkish roots? A crucible of the present, the past and the future? A half-breed on the crossroads of cultures. A musical guide to tenderness and trance. “People who are on the crossroads of cultures will more easily absorb influences and impressions from so many different corners and send them out again”, explains Merdan Taplak. “Why would you shy away from your double identity?” Only spineless pussies that are too afraid to look in the mirror. In It For The Honey dots the i’s and crosses the t’s in Identity. It does not matter where you come from. What matters is what you do with your cultural backgr
