dırt from future

Dirt From Future is an alternative metal band from Italy, formed by Turkish duo Atakan Gulsen and Kenan Korhan Odabas. The two met through a network of young Turkish students in Milan. The duo, alongside rest of the initial full-Turkish line-up, started the project with intention: play live, and make original songs, don't sacrifice one for another.

When they met drummer Stefano Topan through a Facebook post and bassist Andrea Pallotta through a Whatsapp group, the debut City of Sins was almost already completely produced, and Catastrophe was already underway in production. Stepping in at the last minute, Topan injected a lively drum sound into the song, and from Catastrophe forward, DFF composed as a 4-piece band, not anymore a duo.

Initially, the band mainly drew inspiration from the music they have been listening to growing up: 2000s metalcore and nu-metal scenes. Trying to merge elements from their Y2K-metal inspiration with modern alternative-to-heavy production techniques, DFF's sound is an ongoing journey. What they know about the music they make is that it is alternative, it is heavy, they move a lot while playing it, and they make people a lot while playing it live.

One year after being formed, they already released their first two singles with hand-drawn animated lyrics videos, won Hard Rock Café Milan's New Talents on Stage contest, played in various events, and made Milanese people remember why they love moshing in concerts.
