Mahmut Orhan

Mahmut Orhan brings back his Sounds Like Pillow Talk residency to Chinois Ibiza on 12 August 2026. The Istanbul-based producer and DJ navigates between deep house, melodic house and pop electronica, folding slow, rounded basslines into airy vocals and string-led themes. Since Feel with Sena Sener, his path has leaned toward vocal-driven, melody-forward grooves, where acoustic textures and club structures meet without rushing the pace.

On this Ibiza date, Pillow Talk goes for closeness rather than overload: stories told in low light, grooves that warm up gently, then open into wider peaks. Orhan tacks between his own cuts, collaborations and carefully chosen remixes, letting Anatolian and Balkan inflections slide over crisp drums and synths. The set builds in long arcs, with space for breath and detail; tempos stay supple, bass soft-edged, vocals hovering just above the mix. Chinois Ibiza becomes his room for quiet intensity, where the dancefloor feels near and the narrative shifts from track to track, inviting you to lean in and move together.
