Sertac Sahin is a Turkish‑born, Pittsburgh‑based producer and DJ whose sound threads progressive house with melodic house & techno and flashes of indie dance. Working solo and as Stark & Sahin alongside Dan Stark, his catalogue spans respected imprints including Particles, Incorrect, Witty Tunes, Go Deeva Light and Xima Records. His sets favor warm, rolling grooves and emotive synth work, built for long‑form dance‑floor narratives rather than quick peaks.

Recent highlights include the Stark & Sahin EP 1984 on Particles—anchored by the progressive house title cut 1984 and completed by a remix from Juan Deminicis—and the duo’s remix of Dustin Nantais’ Wandering (Stark & Sahin Remix)for Where The Heart Is. The 1984 package was featured in Beatport’s Best New Progressive House (November 2024), underscoring a run of releases and remixes across the above labels that balance atmosphere, melody and club weight.

On stage, Sahin has provided direct support at headline shows including Danny Howells (Cielo, NYC), Rodriguez Jr. (Live) at Cobra, Pittsburgh and Matador at The Maverick, Pittsburgh (also listed on RA). He is co‑founder and resident of Pittsburgh’s InnerSound series, curating deep, hypnotic rooms and regular takeovers with Longturn—see ShowClix for InnerSound’s midsummer edition. With steady studio output and thoughtful curation at the local level, Sahin continues to refine a groove‑led, emotionally tuned approach to the progressive spectrum.
