We’re thrilled to announce that Mahmut Orhan is coming back to New York for another unforgettable night, this time at the historic 160-year old Knockdown Center on February 8th, 2025! After selling out both of our shows last time, we're urging you to secure your tickets early—this event is set to sell out fast!

Mahmut Orhan is a chart-topping Turkish DJ, producer, and composer who has been making waves across Europe and beyond for nearly a decade. Originating from the foothills of Bursa, Orhan has become renowned for his distinctive fusion of deep house, indie dance, and nu disco, mixing beats with traditional Turkish melodies. His sound has propelled him to the top of dance charts in countries like Greece, Romania, and Serbia, and earned him a global following.

Age of Emotions

Orhan's rise to fame includes a string of successful releases, most notably the instrumental sensation “Age of Emotions” and the chart-topping hit “Feel” featuring Sena Şener, which made him a staple in the industry. His talent has taken him to the world’s biggest stages, including performances at Pacha and Ushuaïa in Ibiza, the legendary Tomorrowland in Belgium, and Coachella in the United States.

He’s also a staple in the festival circuit, having played at leading events like Exit Festival in Serbia and Untold Festival in Romania. His collaboration with the Florida pop duo SOFI TUKKER on their hit album ‘WET TENNIS’ and his remix of their track “Swing”—which has garnered over 12 million streams—further showcase his exceptional production skills. Orhan's impressive discography includes releases with the powerhouse label Ultra Music, home to major artists like Solardo, Hardwell, and Calvin Harris.

The Knockdown Center, a venue with a legacy as rich and dynamic as Mahmut Orhan's own career, offers the perfect backdrop for his highly anticipated New York performance on February 8th, 2025. Originally a glass factory and later a hub for door frame innovation, the Knockdown Center stands as a symbol of transformation and creativity, much like Mahmut's artistic evolution. Known for its industrial charm and immersive atmosphere, this iconic venue is the ideal setting for what promises to be an extraordinary night of music.

Given the speed with which his last shows sold out, don’t wait—get your tickets now and be part of what will surely be a highlight of the 2025 music calendar.
