Cenk Gursoy Channels Melancholic Sunrise Magic on New Single 'Sun Begins To Rise'

Internationally renowned DJ, producer, and arranger Cenk Gursoy returns with “Sun Begins To Rise,” a deeply emotive house track that balances introspection with undeniable movement. Released via The Orchard, the single marks another inspired evolution in Gursoy’s artistry, where atmospheric electronic textures meet organic emotional storytelling.

Across nearly a decade in the global electronic scene, Gursoy has carved out a distinct identity built on feeling as much as flow. His work has amassed over 9 million streams, featured collaborations with Sony Music, and earned him a place at revered venues and cultural touchpoints, including NYX London, Hovarda London, Armani Privé Dubai, Fashion Week Istanbul, and exclusive events for Louis Vuitton and Moncler. Whether commanding the dancefloor or curating immersive sonic environments, his approach prioritises mood, narrative, and connection.

“Sun Begins To Rise” continues this trajectory. Built around glowing piano chords, steady drum patterns, airy synth pads, reverberating guitars, and gently layered ambience, the production conjures the quiet magic of early morning light—when the world exhale-shifts into softness. The track holds a delicate duality: it is uplifting yet reflective, a dance song that invites emotional pause.

“The song has a melancholic theme, even though it’s called ‘Sun Begins To Rise,’” Gursoy explains. “It’s emotional but still full of energy, like watching the world wake up after a long night.”

That contrast defines the song’s impact. The rising rhythmic pulse suggests movement toward clarity, while the wistful melodic lines hint at something left behind. Rather than choosing between joy or nostalgia, Gursoy leans into their coexistence, creating a piece that mirrors real emotional landscapes.
