Meet OB/SED: The Dark Electronic Duo Behind Obsessed

OB/SED is a UK-centred electronic duo bringing together producer Burak Can Öğüt and vocalist Öykü Ertek. Their debut single, Obsessed, introduces a project built around dark electronic production, intimate vocals and the tension between attraction and fixation. Released on 2 October 2026, the English-language single is the starting point for a wider artist identity with an international outlook.

For listeners discovering OB/SED for the first time, the clearest introduction is the relationship between its two members: Burak shapes the electronic production and sonic direction; Öykü brings the lead vocal and performance identity. The project places both at the centre, giving the voice and the production their own expressive roles.

Who are OB/SED?

Burak Can Öğüt and Öykü Ertek created OB/SED as an ongoing artist project. Burak’s responsibilities include production, sound design, electronic instrumentation, arrangement and the overall sonic direction. Öykü’s role includes lead vocals, emotional delivery and the performance character that gives the project a recognisable human presence.

That division of responsibilities helps explain the duo’s creative premise. The production can build a dark, bass-driven environment, while the vocal creates a more immediate, personal point of contact. The identity lives in the interaction between those elements: electronic scale on one side, a close and emotionally expressive voice on the other.

OB/SED’s positioning is UK-centred and global in outlook. The intention is to connect with listeners across electronic music and alternative pop communities, with the UK providing the project’s principal cultural and industry focus. That is a creative direction and an ambition for the project, rather than a claim about an established international chart presence.

What does the name OB/SED mean?

The name comes from the word “obsessed”, visually reworked into OB/SED. The slash is part of the project’s active name and visual identity. It also gives the first single a particular significance: Obsessed introduces the central idea behind the artist name as well as the music.

Obsession is a useful starting point for this creative world because it contains several related feelings. Attraction can become fixation; closeness can introduce vulnerability; desire can bring a question of control. These themes give the duo room to develop different stories while retaining a recognisable emotional vocabulary.

Listeners searching for “OBSED Obsessed” without the slash are looking for the same project described here as OB/SED. The artist styling remains OB/SED; the unpunctuated spelling is simply a practical way people may type the name into a search box.

Obsessed: the debut single at a glance

• Artist: OB/SED
• Single: Obsessed
• Release date: 2 October 2026
• Language: English
• Creative territory: dark electronic, electronic pop and vocal-led electronic music
• Members: Burak Can Öğüt and Öykü Ertek

The single’s central concept is attraction gradually becoming fixation. Its emotional world involves anticipation, desire and the possibility of losing control. Rather than presenting a straightforward romantic resolution, the project’s creative brief focuses on the tension inside that attraction.

That idea connects the title, artist name and musical direction. It gives a first-time listener a clear entry point without requiring a long backstory. Obsessed can be approached as a song in its own right, while also introducing the themes OB/SED intends to explore as a duo.

Dark electronic production meets a close vocal identity

The sound described in OB/SED’s artist brief combines heavy low-end, electronic energy and a dark atmosphere with intimate, emotionally charged vocals. Burak’s production role encompasses the arrangement and sound design that establish that environment. Öykü’s vocal role provides its expressive centre, including the theatrical dimension of the project’s performance identity.

“Dark electronic” is a useful broad description because it leaves room for both the production and the songwriting. “Electronic pop” highlights the importance of a memorable vocal idea. “Vocal-led electronic music” puts the interaction between the singer and the arrangement into focus. These descriptions overlap; they are different entry points into the same creative direction.

The project’s intended contrast is between intimate sections and larger electronic moments. Its brief also identifies vocal layering, whispered elements and cinematic tension as part of the creative vocabulary. Those details describe the direction behind the release, rather than a technical review based on a studio session or a listening test.

An artist world that can grow beyond one release

OB/SED is conceived as a continuing collaboration. The longer-term vision includes further singles, performance-led visual content and a coherent visual identity. Dark fashion, dramatic lighting and cinematic imagery are part of that creative direction. These are plans for how the project can develop, not announcements of completed videos or confirmed future release dates.

For a new duo, that continuity matters. A listener who encounters one song should be able to recognise the artists again through their voice, presentation and musical choices. The relationship between Burak’s production and Öykü’s performance gives OB/SED a foundation for that recognition while leaving space for future material to develop.

WBBT Records supports the project’s release operations. This feature is therefore an introduction from the team connected to the release, rather than an independent review. Its purpose is to give listeners a clear account of who the artists are and where to hear their music.

Start with the song, then follow the project

The most direct way to get to know OB/SED is to hear Obsessed in full. If the release connects with you, save it to your library and follow the artist through the linked Spotify release. A full listen gives the vocal and production room to establish their relationship beyond a short promotional excerpt.

Listeners drawn to dark electronic pop, expressive vocals and bass-driven production have a clear starting point here. The duo’s developing identity is worth following on its own terms: a collaboration between two named creative voices, with Obsessed opening the story.
