@paperplanexmusic’s Imagine If returns for episode two, featuring special guest @zeyneperbayy.
Zeynep Erbay is a DJ and producer whose story bends in ways you don't expect. Red Bull Music Academy in 2006. A debut on Compost Records alongside some names you’d recognise. Then, life. Pressure. Anxiety. A non-supportive environment. A step back that lasted over a decade. And eventually, a way back in.
They talk about all of it. The weight of early success. The tension between classical training and the simplicity of a groove. What it means to change cities, change languages, change versions of yourself. And the moment she realised: this is the only thing she can do.
That conversation comes about 40 mins in. Before then, Paperplane warms up with a vinyl-only, straight up groovy house mix. And after, Zeynep's guest mix drifts between worlds with stunning sounds that pull you in slowly, then lift you somewhere you didn't know you were heading.
