In a world of crate diggers, willfully eclectic selectors and micro-scene experts, few DJs and producers maintain the curiosity, bulletproof taste and unique identity of Mehmet Aslan. Born to Turkish immigrant parents and raised in Basel, Switzerland, a childhood absorbing Turkish music was only the beginning of an esoteric trip down a rabbit hole of fascinating, often unusual music, enrapturing dance floors with his own record collection alongside his own, equally varied productions. Within his personal studio, a part of Berlin’s cult Salon Zur Wilden Renate club, Aslan continues to write, edit and experiment. 2018 saw his debut on Jennifer Cardini's much-loved Dischi Autonno imprint and a new 12" on the Fleeting Wax label he co-founded with Alma Negra's Miajaca. These were soon followed by a further appearance on Highlife and two EPs with Basel's Planisphere Editorial, with whom Aslan will release his much-awaited debut album in late 2022.
