Mahmut Orhan whispers sweet nothings to entice you to Chinois Ibiza
Following the huge success of his debut Ibiza residency last year, Turkish export Mahmut Orhan returns to Chinois Ibiza this summer with Sounds Like Pillowtalk. Sweet nothings are whispered on Wednesdays from 1 July to 26 August.
This latest run is an expansion of his 2025 debut, more than doubling the schedule.
Inspired by the pillows that have witnessed untold stories, travel and fleeting moments, Sounds Like Pillowtalk is designed to inspire, offering a rich alternative to the expected names often dominating the island's nightlife circuit.
Mahmut Orhan’s rise from self-taught musician to internationally recognised DJ and producer has been driven by his sophisticated blend of Deep House, Nu-Disco and Indie Dance, layered with sounds and instrumentation from varying cultural backgrounds.
With a brand new album landing this year, fans can also expect plenty of unreleased material to feature throughout the residency. Of course, Mahmut will not be alone when he beckons you to his bedside dancefloor...
The full line-up is comprised of fellow Turkish breakout star Avangart Tabldot, as well as Baron, Dorian Craft, Fideles, Francis Mercier, Julia Sandstorm, Lilya Mandre, Nick Castle, Rivo, Shimza, Volkoder and ZHU.
Should you fancy a wildcard, how about Pumped Up Kicks songwriters Foster The People performing a DJ set? That really is a booking out of leftfield.
Midweek parties always seem to up their game season after season, but Mahmut's unique sonic tapestry of soulful Deep House, groovy Indietronica could set him apart from the competition and inject some much needed variety into Ibiza's all to often samey programme.
Who can argue with that? Tickets are on sale and available below. Alternatively, head to our party calendar.
