Daily Discovery: Yücem Varoğlu (feat. Jam and the Benzos) – Biter mi

Cypriot artist Yücem Varoğlu, also known as Jam and the Benzos, releases “Biter Mi,” a track that blends post-punk basslines, 70s disco grooves, and Anatolian and Middle Eastern melodic influences. The song’s arrangement balances steady, driving drums with layered guitars and atmospheric synths, creating a tension-filled yet hypnotic mood.

The lyrics dive into the final stages of a love that’s falling apart. Delivered in a spoken-word style, the verses feel intimate and raw, capturing the protagonist’s struggle to hold on to something slipping away.

The track moves between tight, minimal verses and fuller, layered choruses, mirroring the push and pull of denial and inevitability. The use of Middle Eastern string accents and minor-key melodies adds a haunting edge, deepening the emotional weight.
