Bio
ELIF builds DJ sets around the room in front of her, moving between dark, intricate late-night music and the brighter atmosphere of an outdoor afternoon. Born in Istanbul and based in Barcelona, she brings that flexibility to her production and to Marginalia, the label she founded as a home for emerging artists.
Music had shaped her life well before she stood behind the decks. While studying architecture she designed nightclubs; later, as a travel blogger, she planned trips around concerts and festivals. Journalism and band management brought her closer to the industry, but learning to mix in 2016 turned that involvement into a performing practice. She launched the ELIF project in 2018 and began releasing music the following year.
Her career has since taken her to Coachella, Tomorrowland and Wonderfruit, yet a close connection with dancers remains central to how she works. She values the intimacy of a crowd she can actually see and respond to. Her own productions, remixes and recurring collaborations with Predex sit within that open-ended approach: an interest in mood and movement that leaves room for her musical tastes to change.
