Internationally acclaimed DJ, producer, and Marginalia label founder ELIF returns with ‘Praise The Sky’ a striking new EP co-produced with Berlin-based and fellow Turkish talent Predex on Frau Blau. Complete with standout remixes from Ae:ther and Rodriguez Jr., the release captures ELIF and Predex’s signature blend of emotional depth, melodic sophistication, and genre-blurring finesse.

Born and raised in Istanbul and now based in Barcelona, ELIF has built an unstoppable global presence with her hypnotic, storytelling sets and meticulously crafted productions following her rise with live streamed sets on Twitch via BLOND:ISH’s Abracadabra, catapulting her to over 100 shows across 5 continents. From an early love of music and a background in architecture to managing indie bands in Turkey, ELIF’s journey into electronic music has been defined by relentless passion, creative integrity, and fearless self-reinvention. Her rise has earned her support from BBC Radio 1’s Pete Tong, KISS FM, Mixmag Asia, GROOVE, LA Weekly, and more, as well as a packed tour schedule at top clubs and festivals around the world.

Fuelled by a desire to uplift others, ELIF also took the next step in her career by launching her own label Marginaliaback in 2023, providing a home for emerging artists around the world. “A lot of people were sending me amazing demos,” she says, “but didn’t have big profiles. I wanted to create a space where talent—not status—comes first.”

Meanwhile, collaborator Predex, formerly known as Ata Urküt, began his music career as a progressive metal and rock producer before gradually transitioning into electronic music. After several years performing in the UK across multiple genres, he returned to Turkey as the resident DJ and music director at NEU in Bursa. Now based in Berlin, Predex focuses on Melodic Techno, becoming a direction that’s already earned him international tour dates and growing support across the scene. His collaboration with ELIF marks a natural intersection of two artists with shared roots and forward-looking visions.

Adding further dimension to the release on remix duties, Rodriguez Jr. contributes a warm, analog-tinged reinterpretation with deep grooves and understated elegance. Ae:ther transforms the track into a lush, celestial journey, with each version standing on its own as a testament to the track’s emotional depth and sonic versatility.

As ELIF prepares to host her own OFF WEEK 2025 showcase in Barcelona as well as further collaborations with Predex on the horizon, “Praise The Sky” arrives as a clear signal of her ever-expanding influence. Not just as a performer and producer, but as a curator, mentor, and champion of new talent on the global stage
