Jakuzi

Jakuzi is a Turkish synthpop band, formed in Istanbul in 2015. The band consists of Kutay Soyocak, Can Kalyoncu, Meriç Erseçgen and Ahmetcan Gökçeer. Kutay Soyocak and Taner Yücel formed the project to move away from their previous punk-oriented music projects. The duo rose to prominence in Istanbul's underground music scene[1] after the release of their debut album Fantezi Müzik. Originally released in 2016 through Domuz Records,[2] it was reissued by City Slang on 24 March 2017.[1]
