“Don’t Know You”, “En Mi Mente”

Alper Colak is a Turkish producer who has spent most of his life making music. He started producing at just 11 years old, spent nearly a decade building a high-energy sound in future house and tech house, and earned support from Nicky Romero and Dillon Francis along the way. Today, after a bold reinvention, he makes warm, melodic dance pop and electro pop with deep house roots, and he broke through with “Don’t Know You” and “En Mi Mente”.

This is the full Alper Colak story: the early years, the support from some of dance music’s biggest names, the rebrand that changed everything and the songs that define his new chapter.

Who is Alper Colak?

Alper Colak is a producer from Türkiye whose career already spans more than a decade, despite how new his current sound feels. He is a craftsman first: someone who learned production young, refined it through years of club-focused releases and now applies that skill to songs built for a wider audience.

Producing since the age of 11

Few producers start as early as Alper Colak did. At 11, he was already learning how to build records, and he spent nearly ten years developing a high-energy sound in future house and tech house, two of the most demanding club genres in terms of sound design, mixdown and energy management.

Support from Nicky Romero and Dillon Francis

Those years paid off. Alper Colak’s music earned support from Nicky Romero, the Dutch producer and Protocol Recordings founder, and Dillon Francis, one of the most recognisable names in American dance music. For a young producer, that kind of support from established artists is both validation and motivation.

The rebrand: a warmer, more soulful Alper Colak

Then came the turn. A recent rebrand brought a warmer, more soulful direction, moving away from peak-time energy towards deep house and electro pop. It was a risk, as reinventions always are, and it worked: under his new name he crossed two million streams in just three months.

Dance pop and electro pop with deep house roots

Alper Colak’s new music sits where dance pop, electro pop and deep house meet: songs with memorable hooks and emotional melodies, carried by grooves that come straight from the club. It is music that works on the radio, in playlists and on dancefloors, and it is built with the technical precision of someone who has been producing since childhood.

“Don’t Know You”: the breakthrough on Soir Records

“Don’t Know You” by Alper Colak is the song that introduced his new sound to Soir Records listeners. It is warm, melodic and immediate: a dance pop record with deep house sensibility, made for headphones, car speakers and summer terraces alike. You can stream it directly on this page.

“En Mi Mente”: dance pop with a Latin heart

“En Mi Mente”, Spanish for “in my mind”, shows another side of the same artist: a melodic, Latin-tinged dance record that proves how far his new direction can travel. Together, “Don’t Know You” and “En Mi Mente” are the songs that launched this chapter of his career.

Turkish producers on the global stage

Türkiye has become one of the most productive countries in modern electronic and dance pop music. Turkish producers now place records on international playlists, release on global labels and score streams far beyond their home market. Alper Colak is part of that movement, with the distinction of having worked across both club genres and pop-leaning dance music, a rare combination that gives his songs both energy and accessibility.
