NODUS is the house and tech house project of Istanbul-based DJ and producer Serdar Ayyıldız, born from his decision to return to the underground grooves where he first started producing in the late 1990s. Behind the decks since 1998, he previously built a massive audience across Türkiye and the Middle East under his birth name — surpassing 500 million views — before relaunching as NODUS with a focus on tribal house, afro house, and emotional club music. Breakout single "Rakkas" with Kurd Maverick on Hugel's Make The Girls Dance Records became a global dancefloor anthem, while 2025–2026 releases like "Dum Tak," "Yolla," and "Who's Your Daddy" keep momentum high. He is CEO and founder of Houseyounite, Soul Fabrik, and Istanbul DJ Academy, releasing on Toolroom, Kittball, and his own imprint while building community from Amsterdam to Bali. His sound blends Middle Eastern melodic identity with raw house energy — groove-first, formula-averse, built for real dancefloor connection.
