Mechanical Turk hailing from Switzerland with a taste for traditional Turkish folk hymns that effortlessly blend together with modern electronic rhythms.

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.

His 2014 breakthrough EP, ‘Mechanical Turk’ was hailed by Juno as 'brilliantly hard to pin down', warmly embracing it’s 'myriad of styles – post-punk disco and afro-futurism, most notably – whilst not sounding anything like any of them', and also earned a coveted ⅘ review on Resident Advisor.

The record had instant impact on dance floors and among DJs.
