People Like Us (3)

People Like Us (3) are an avant-garde musical collective hailing from Turkey, known for their eclectic fusion of experimental electronic sounds with traditional Eastern melodies and contemporary art sensibilities. Formed in the late 2000s by a rotating lineup of musicians, producers, and interdisciplinary artists, the group draws inspiration from the rich cultural mosaic of Istanbul, blending field recordings, found sounds, and digital manipulation to create immersive sonic landscapes. Their work explores themes of identity, migration, and collective memory, often layering samples from vintage Turkish cinema and folklore with glitchy beats and improvisational elements.

With performances spanning art galleries, underground clubs, and international festivals, People Like Us (3) have garnered a dedicated following for their boundary-pushing approach and thought-provoking live shows. Their discography includes several self-released albums and collaborations with both local and global artists, continually pushing the envelope of what Turkish experimental music can be.
