Born and raised in Basel, Switzerland to a Turkish immigrant family and lives between Basel and Berlin. Mehmet Aslan has been driven by questions related to the fluidity of his own post-migrant identity since his breakthrough EP, ‘Mechanical Turk’, was released on Glasgow’s Huntleys + Palmers in 2014.

The subsequent years have seen Aslan grow as an artist as he interrogated the answers to these questions through music production & live performance, DJing and graphic design, leading to 2022’s debut studio album, ‘The Sun Is Parallel’.

The album also featured contributions from Italian percussionist & composer Valentina Magaletti, Spanish composer Niño de Elche and Mehmet Aslan live band members Alican Tezer (drums) and Daniel Pankau (guitar).

Mehmet is a DJ, Producer, Musician and Graphic Designer.
