After five years away, Aārp makes his return with “Beşiktaş,” out February 24, 2026. Built on hypnotic trance sequences and a propulsive rhythm, the track draws inspiration from summer nights in Istanbul, capturing that moment when the city slips into darkness and collective energy takes over.
Rooted in the current resurgence of trance while maintaining an avant-garde sensibility, “Beşiktaş” favors tension over excess. Synthesizers unfold in layered waves, guided by a driving rhythmic progression designed for peak-time immersion without sacrificing textural depth.
Formerly known as The Wanderer, Aārp blends his classical training with the legacy of experimental electronic music from Squarepusher to Aphex Twin. With “Beşiktaş,” he opens a new chapter that is both immersive and intensely physical.
