MEHMET ASLAN - GARDEN ft. VALENTINA MAGALETTI
https://orcd.co/planis007
'The Sun Is Parallel' album out 11 November 2022

Mehmet Aslan follows last year's Domo single with a return to Planisphere Editorial for a new single in collaboration with prolific percussionist & performer Valentina Magaletti. ‘Garden’ finds the polymath musicians in organic and pristine form, drawing from their own experimentations with the form as well as influences such as Mark Hollis and Talk Talk's most austere and compelling work.

Known for her work with Nicolas Jaar and Charles Hayward, as well as her more regular in celebrated British psych band Vanishing Twin, Magaletti’s impermeable technique provides the ideal, watertight structure for Aslan’s tumbling, psychedelia-tinted electronics. Nocturnal and almost noirish in texture, Garden’s sophisticated arrangement offers a tantalizing glimpse into the atmosphere of Aslan’s upcoming and much-awaited debut album 'The Sun Is Parallel', due on Planisphere Editorial later in November 2022.

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...
