Serhat Durmus: Forget white lies, it's the 'Red Lies' slapping the most

Just when you thought it was really deeper than rap, it’s all types of electronic vibes coming courtesy of Serhat Durmus from start to finish on the new ‘Red Lies’ anthem.

The song goes hard but adding the visual element to it, too? Too wavy. Peep the details and get loose in the audio - and visual - trance.

Serhat Durmus currently reigns as Turkey’s token chill trap authority. A chronic nomad since his younger years, Durmus’ music spins an atmospheric and all-encompassing ensemble of ambient instrumentation and forcefully euphoric electronic beats and stylings. His amorphous palette effortlessly blends into the forefront of a late-night drive or dance floor alike.

While Durmus remains in his native nation of Turkey, people near and far have begun lending ears to the dextrous beat purveyor, amassing ardent followings from Dehli and Düsseldorf to Los Angeles and London. Many of the producer’s tracks are sung in his Turkish tongue with his more recent releases in english; however, an austere emotional through-line permeates in each and every track he lends his namesake to, clear and comprehensible to any listener. His hypnotic singles “Hislerim” and "La Câlin” have paved the way for new fans of Serhat, amassing over 109 million and 91 million streams on Spotify respectively since their 2017 & 2018 releases.

Durmus released his debut album, Arres, in 2021. EDM Identity said, “There’s so much talent all around the globe and Serhat Durmus is an artist you need to know after the release of his debut album, Arres…You’ll feel like you’re being transported into places far beyond where you could have imagined, as you’re whisked away into his vast soundscapes.
