Mahmut Orhan: People Like Us, Peace Control, Foster The People (dj set), Mahmut Orhan

On 29 July 2026, Mahmut Orhan returns to Chinois Ibiza with his residency Sounds Like Pillow Talk. The Istanbul-based producer and DJ has spent the past decade shaping a deep and melodic house sound built on slow, grounded basslines, airy vocals and traces of Anatolian and Balkan motifs. From his breakout single Feel with Sena Sener to a steady run of collaborations and remixes, he navigates between club-friendly structure and song form, blending acoustic instruments and string arrangements into electronic textures.

Sounds Like Pillow Talk explores a warmer, close-range dancefloor energy, where each night unfolds as a new story. Warm textures, patient builds and vocal-led passages float over downtempo undercurrents, while Orhan’s sense of melody and pacing keeps the room moving without rushing it. The focus is on detail: subtle modulations, quiet peaks, a bassline that lingers. Back in Ibiza, he turns Chinois into a space for proximity and listening as much as dancing, an intimate frame for his blend of deep house, melodic lines and pop-aware hooks.
