Foundations #0004: SOFT TOUCH | THIS IS AN ILLUSION *
NEW RELEASE FROM SOFT TOUCH | SUNDAY APRIL 19th - 12 PM
Turkish-born, UK-based soft touch cut his teeth in London’s ever-evolving dance music ecosystem, building a reputation as a deeply intuitive selector with a vinyl-first ethos. His sets are less about sticking to a lane and more about storytelling, moving fluidly across house, acid, electro, and deeper cuts with patience and control shaped by years behind the decks.
A devoted digger, his sound is guided by a carefully curated record collection and a clear point of view. Groove-led, textured, and subtly unpredictable. Whether in intimate club spaces or wider dance floors, he focuses on building atmosphere, letting tracks breathe and transitions unfold naturally.
Beyond the booth, soft touch extends that same philosophy through Netil Radio, where he hosts Loafy Tunes, a monthly show dedicated to refined, under-the-radar electronic music. The show brings together his own selections alongside guest mixes from emerging and like-minded artists, creating a platform that feels both community-driven and sonically consistent. It offers a window into a wider network of DJs and producers orbiting a shared sound and ethos.
He is also the co-founder of Laib und Seele Records, an imprint that has steadily grown into a respected outlet for forward-thinking club music. Operating between London and Berlin, the label releases everything from stripped-back house tools to more experimental cuts, while maintaining a cohesive identity rooted in quality and artistic freedom. It has become both a creative hub and a launchpad for emerging talent.
Alongside this, soft touch co - runs Boom Room LDN, a London party series that reflects curatorial vision on the dancefloor. Known for intimate settings and carefully selected lineups, Boom Room LDN brings together a community of selectors and dancers around a shared appreciation for deep, groove-driven music.
Across his DJ sets, radio presence, label work, and events, Soft Touch operates as both a curator and connector, shaping spaces where sound, community, and culture intersect.
