Richard Sen - January 2023

Swayzak (11/2/23)

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...

Born in Milan to a Cameroonian father and a Polish/Lithuanian mother, Nathan moved to Jerusalem at age six. They have spent their childhood in a Jewish ultra-orthodox environment, playing the piano within the context of religious ceremonies and dreaming of becoming a fashion designer and musician. After waking up from the reality they were raised in, they moved to Venice and started to explore the world outside of the mental barriers of religion. While completing their fashion design degree back in Milan, music was their medicine, and they quickly started developing the practice of storytelling through the medium of sound, serendipitously pursuing their father's path as a disk jockey in the vibrancy of the Eighties and Nineties cosmopolitan Milanese nightlife. Their search for home and their devotion to music brought them quickly to Berlin, where they currently create, live, and love.

In March 2023, their debut solo album “Sanctuary of Ideas” was released via the Zurich-Berlin-based label Lustpoderosa. “Sanctuary of Ideas” is a very personal and optimistic journey by Nathan Dawidowicz. A spiritual path, as cosmic and adventurous as Nathan’s trajectory, with beautiful twists and psychedelic twirls into their personal rabbit hole. A record full of memories and positive affirmations, filled with jazzy yet psychedelic Cosmic and Krautrock elements. A fusion of inspiration and a perfect reflection of Dawidowicz's heritage.
