Ozzyxpm
OzzyXPM, born Ozan Yelkalan in Istanbul in 1978, is a progressive house DJ, producer, and label executive based in the Netherlands. His Beatport profile bills him as “DJ, Producer, Organiser, and A&R Managing Director,” reflecting a career that spans behind-the-decks performance and behind-the-scenes label management across the Soho Recordings family of imprints, including Blue Soho, White Soho, Dark Soho, Red Soho, Vital Soho, and Soho Opus.
He hosts “Secret Ravers,” a long-running radio mix series that has passed episode 228 and continues to showcase progressive house selections to a global streaming audience, giving listeners a regular touchpoint with his curatorial style. His annual “Secret Ravers Year Mix” compiles favorite tracks from across each year, functioning as both a DJ mix and a snapshot of his evolving sound.
As Music Director and A&R across the Soho labels, OzzyXPM shapes the broader progressive house catalogue he also draws from during his own sets, tying his DJ practice directly to the labels he oversees. His dual role as performer and executive reflects a career built on sustaining a genre ecosystem rather than pursuing festival headline exposure alone.
