Mahmut Orhan
Turkey's Mahmut Orhan produces deep house and nu-disco that frequently include warm, rhapsodic melodies played on traditional Middle Eastern string instruments. Since he first began releasing music in 2011, his popularity has steadily increased, and he topped the charts in several European countries with singles such as 2016's "Feel" and 2018's "6 Days." After more than a decade of making club hits, he released his debut full-length, Pangea, in 2024.
Orhan was born in Bursa, Turkey in 1993. Active as a musician since he was 15, he moved to Istanbul in 2011 and began working at a nightclub. His first single, the progressive house track "Undesirable Life," was released that year. Over the next few years, he continued releasing singles, including collaborations with fellow Turkish producers Boral Kibil and Deeperise, and began incorporating more acoustic string instrumentation and vocals into his sound, as on tracks like 2014's "Herneise."
After Orhan's 2015 track "Age of Emotions," featuring a violin sample from Canbaz's "More Ve Otesi," became his first single to chart on dance retailer Beatport, he worked with singer Sena Sener on a single called "Feel." The 2016 single was a huge international success, becoming a major hit in Greece, Russia, Bulgaria, and several other countries. This was followed by the instrumental "Game of Thrones" and "Save Me" (featuring Eneli) in 2017. "6 Days," Orhan's remix of "Six Day War" by the obscure British band Colonel Bagshot (previously sampled by DJ Shadow on his 2002 single "Six Days"), appeared in 2018 and topped charts in several countries. Several of Orhan's remixes were then collected on a release titled One.
Orhan worked with vocalist Irina Rimes on the 2019 singles "Schhh" and "Hero." He also released "6 Feet" with Thomas Newson and Jason Gaffner. "Nu Vreau," another collaboration with Rimes, appeared in 2020. Additionally, Orhan issued the single "In Control" with Ali Arutan and Selin. He reunited with Sener on the 2021 single "Fly Above." Orhan collaborated with dance-pop duo Sofi Tukker on 2022's Forgive Me." Selin was featured on Orhan's "Dönmem Ben Sana," and Drumstone co-produced the track "Allies." Orhan released several singles throughout 2023, and most were included on Pangea, his 2024 full-length debut, issued by Ultra Records. The album featured collaborations with Kenan Bayramli, Botan, TUANA, and Ribale Wehbe as well as a club edit of "6 Days."
