BÁKAYAN AND DEEPERISE DELIVER ETHEREAL MAGIC ON NEW SINGLE “MUCIZE”

Following the success of his recent debut on Gardens of Babylon with Rebelz EP in March, German-born, Turkish producer and vocalist Bákayan returns with a breathtaking new collaboration – joining forces with Turkish electronic producer Deeperise for the enchanting new single, Mucize.

Known for his signature blend of heartfelt vocals and organic electronic textures, Bákayan continues to explore emotional depth and sonic richness. “Mucize” (meaning Miracle in Turkish) is a soulful journey that brings together Bákayan’s evocative storytelling and Deeperise’s dreamy production sensibilities.

Hailing from South Germany and deeply inspired by his South-Eastern roots, Bákayan has carved out a unique space in the world of Organic House, Melodic and Afro-infused dance music. Since his debut release Umut Var in 2021, his genre-defying sound has gained support from heavyweights like Oliver Koletzki and Black Coffee.

Deeperise – best known for his globally acclaimed track Raf – brings his unmistakable warmth and deep house elegance to Mucize. Together, the two artists craft a sonic atmosphere that’s both euphoric and introspective; a perfect backdrop for Bákayan’s emotive vocal performance.

Mucize flows with hypnotic grooves, subtle percussion and a whimsical melody that builds to a stirring crescendo. It’s a song that speaks to moments of transcendence and transformation, those rare flashes of wonder that remind us of the beauty in the everyday. The release marks a powerful moment for both artists, uniting their respective strengths to deliver something truly moving. Whether heard on a late-night dancefloor or in quiet solitude, Mucize is a track that leaves its mark.
