Mehmet Aslan has always been a dab hand and blending the old with the new. A childhood spent soaking up Turkish sounds (thanks to his parents) first ignited his love for music, and by his teenage years he'd become obsessed with collecting records, digging deep into the infinite realms of house and techno.

But when he began producing, he found a way of merging these two formative styles. Many of you will remember his early outings for labels like Hamam House and Huntley + Palmers which saw him either editing old Turkish records into club ready rhythms or injecting his own productions with influences from his roots.

These qualities have continued too permeate his releases since. As well as music for his own co-run Fleeting Wax label, he's shared EPs for Planisphere, Dischi Autunno and Huntley + Palmers' Highlife offshoot which showcase his deep and psychedelic approach to making electronic music.

Though it's a decade since his first release came out, it wasn't until recently that he shared his first ever album. Sun Is Parallel is a rich and diverse body of work that, unsurprisingly, takes in many different influences and journeys across different tempos. As always, there's a hypnotic quality that brings everything together but across its 11-track duration you'll hear mid-tempo acid jams sitting next to folkloric electronica and cinematic soundscapes unfurling into hazy grooves. 

Following the release, we asked him to put a mix together for us. Over an hour it coasts from off-kilter funk and synth-pop through to oddball rhythms, best enjoyed - as Mehmet suggests - whilst running through a Mexican canyon with the cartel hot on your tail...

Sunday Snooze #67: KAMMA

Waan je in de zondagse bubbel van KAMMA
Vers van een vakantie op Bali vlocht KAMMA deze week de Sunday Snooze Mix aan elkaar. De wortels van de Amsterdamse dj reiken, langs haar dj’ende ouders, naar de Indonesische eilanden. Gek is het dus niet, dat er wat invloeden uit die windrichting in haar tracklist zijn geslopen.

Zo zit er ook een track van Ryuichi Sakamoto bij met een geluidsopname uit het Balinese Uluwatu en weet KAMMA er ook nog wat Indonesische Gamelan doorheen te rijgen. ‘Organisch is wel het woord,’ vertelt de dj als ze moet uitleggen wat voor muziek ze associeert met de zondag. ‘De organische elementen die in de mix terugkomen doen me heel erg aan de natuur denken.' Het eerste half uur van de mix is dan ook goed voor een rustgevende snooze-sessie.

Doordoezelen terwijl je je op Bali waant, dus? Nou ja, misschien maar even. ‘De zondag is een beetje een droom, of een bubbel waar je in verkeerd,’ zegt KAMMA, die daarmee een letterlijke interpretatie gaf aan de Sunday Snooze door er een muzikale Snooze-knop in te bouwen: ‘Ik heb er ook wel bewust twee momenten in gedaan die een beetje als een alarm kunnen over komen.’

Overigens zitten er nog een heleboel andere genres in verwerkt, van psychedelische rock, naar funky grooves en latin-achtige vibes. Vooral de Latin-esque track 'Gypsy Queen' van de Hongaarse Gábor Szabó vindt KAMMA zelf echt een stand-out track die de mix afsluit en daarmee de dag inluidt. ‘Echt een energy boost.’

KAMMA - Sunday Snooze mix - 3voor12

We discovered Massimiliano Pagliara ten years ago with his slow and sexy number "Sometimes At Night", featuring Molly Nilsson's gorgeous vocals, released on "Live At Robert Johnson".
Since then, the italian dj/producer based in Berlin unleashed an impressive array of records on Rush Hour, Ostgut Ton, Cocktail D' Amore, Correspondant or Uncanny Valley. 
Massimiliano's idea here was to start a new series of mixes under the name "Love, Sex, Dreams", not being necessarily club music.
Rather slow, leftfield, balearic, ambient, b-sides.
Something very chill, mostly like a compilation of cute tracks.
We're glad to receive the first journey, enjoy !
