Producer
Ankara Echoes is an Ankara-based alternative music collective founded and led by producer Mertkan Erkan that rapidly gained popularity in 2025-2026. Describing themselves not as a fixed traditional band but as a dynamic, ever-expanding collective drawing on different artists, they blend traditional Anatolian melodies with indie rock, post-punk and modern electronic production, especially Afro House remixes. Songs like "Beni Al (Ta Ki Seni Görene Kadar)" and "Anason" have racked up millions of streams on digital platforms, and the collective's flawlessly balanced mixing and mastering sparked social media debate over whether the tracks were AI-made — founder Erkan has said AI is used only as a production tool to speed up their workflow, with the lyrics, compositions and instrumentation remaining fully human-made. Known also for high-energy live shows at major venues like Zorlu PSM, CerModern and IF Performance Hall, the team includes figures such as İzel Susam, Emre Gürsoy and Eşref Koçak.
