Bio
BäRK (Berk Duygun) is a multidisciplinary artist, DJ and curator based in The Hague, moving between the city's underground club circuit and its art scene. Trained and graduated from the Royal Academy of Art, his sets run through 80s and 90s acid, industrial and electro, building from groove to full pressure. He closed the Dekmantel Club Tour at Club Laak and regularly plays clubs like PIP and Panama Racing Club (Intergalactic FM), with radio sets on Kiosk Brussels, Operator and many more. He founded the Royal Surfclub platform, curates exhibitions and events across the scene, and in 2026 hand-coded Line Up: The Hague, a playable music release that rebuilds the city's underground into an explorable world. He also builds his own instruments under BäRK Machines.
BäRK (Berk Duygun) is a multidisciplinary artist, DJ, producer and curator based in The Hague (Den Haag), working between the city's underground club circuit and its interdisciplinary art scene. Trained at the Royal Academy of Art (KABK), his sets move through 80s and 90s acid and industrial textures blended with electro, building from groove to full-pressure intensity, played with the precision of someone who programs as much as he plays.
He closed the Dekmantel Club Tour at Club Laak, with appearances at PIP Den Haag, Grey Space, Sexyland Amsterdam, Panama Racing Club (Intergalactic FM), the former Weelde Rotterdam and Banger Istanbul, and radio sets on Kiosk Radio Brussels, Operator, Maxi Radio and Noh, among others. As founder of Royal Surfclub, he creates serious art and music events that have become part of the cultural fabric of The Hague and Rotterdam since 2019, presenting more than 100 artists and bringing together DJs, makers and audiences across the scene. He also runs the European operations of Istanbul's Noh Radio.
In 2026 he hand-coded Line Up: The Hague, a playable music release built for original 90s handheld hardware that rebuilds the city's underground into an explorable world, featuring its real venues, DJs and radio stations. He builds his own instruments under BäRK Machines, including the BäRK BRüTT and BäRK DRøMM. Featured by 3voor12, Midnight Rebels and Atomlabor.
