Hinter OKOFUNK steckt Okan. Aufgewachsen in Köln, türkische Wurzeln, in den Achtzigern Breakdance, Hip-Hop und Pop. Anfang der Neunziger kam der Sound aus Köln, Berlin, Detroit und Chicago dazu: Electro, Techno, Acid. Und dann House. Ende der Neunziger die ersten eigenen Partys mit Freunden.

Danach eine lange Pause. 2018 ging es wieder los, diesmal im Studio. Seitdem sind über 100 Tracks erschienen, unter anderem auf Salted Music, Hustler Trax, Closer To Truth, Black Riot, Rewind Ltd, Midtown House NYC und Lekker Records. Seine Mixe liefen in sieben Ländern, von Ibiza Global Radio bis MDLBEAST Frequencies.

Seit Oktober 2023 führt er sein eigenes Label Less BlaBla Records. Sein Sound: jackende Drums, warme Chords und viel Funk, irgendwo zwischen Chicago, Deep House und Disco.

OKOFUNK is Okan. Born and raised in Cologne with Turkish roots, he grew up on 80s breakdance, hip-hop and pop. In the early 90s the sound of Cologne, Berlin, Detroit and Chicago took over: electro, techno, acid. Then house. By the late 90s he was throwing his own small parties with friends.

Then a long break. In 2018 he came back, this time in the studio. Since then he has put out more than 100 tracks, on labels like Salted Music, Hustler Trax, Closer To Truth, Black Riot, Rewind Ltd, Midtown House NYC and Lekker Records. His mixes have aired in seven countries, from Ibiza Global Radio to MDLBEAST Frequencies.

Since October 2023 he has been running his own label, Less BlaBla Records. The sound: jacking drums, warm chords and plenty of funk, somewhere between Chicago, deep house and disco.
