Get to Know Pleizel, shaping her own sound in electronic music

Istanbul-based artist Pleizel has emerged as a growing presence in the electronic music scene. Her EP “Primal Touch”, released on Max Cooper’s Mesh imprint, has expanded her international profile while reflecting a production approach that moves between IDM and techno.

Primal Touch presents itself as more than a set of individual tracks, instead unfolding with a sense of continuity. “Celestial Embrace” opens with flowing pads and broad chords, carrying a mix of tension and atmosphere. “Liana” shifts the focus toward movement with glitch-based textures and ascending harmonies. “Midnight Horses” drives ahead with a restless momentum, while closer “Affinity Bond” leans into fractured vocal elements and irregular rhythms, adding contrast to the EP’s structure.

On stage, Pleizel’s material gains a different dimension. Her live sets present the tracks with added intensity and dynamic flow, underlining her role not only as a producer but also as a performer. Appearances across international events have shown that her approach resonates with audiences beyond Istanbul, with her performances often framed as narrative-driven experiences.

A recurring quality in Pleizel’s work is her balance of technical precision with a direct emotional undercurrent. Even when the structures are intricate, her productions retain a sense of presence and immediacy. This was also evident in her recent remix of “A Sense of Getting Closer” for Max Cooper’s “On Being Remixes” album, where she reworked an ambient piece into a dance-oriented track without losing the character of the original.

With “Primal Touch” and her continued live presence, Pleizel is positioning herself within the international landscape, building momentum on the strength of her production and performance style.
