Lunar Plane was founded by identical twin brothers, Emre & Mert Altinok. They
discovered their passion for producing music while developing an electronic music
streaming platform in 2014. Born in Istanbul, the brothers were on the national
swimming team and attended Yale University where they studied biomedical
engineering and economics.
After signing a downtempo EP with Solomun’s label 2DIY4, Lunar Plane became the
focus of the Altinok brothers. Fueled by their strong academic background and passion
for music, the twins experimented with melodic techno, progressive house and
electronica. As they discovered their unique style, the brothers produced a signature
sound of emotional ethnic melodies accompanied by strong driving basslines, organic
groovy drums, and deep ritualistic vocals.
As a result, more than 40 of their tracks charted globally. Eleven of these tracks were
listed in Beatport’s Top 10 charts, and their tracks Olappa, Seraglio and their remix for
Oliver Koletzki’s ‘Fire In The Jungle’ have made it to #1 on Beatport in their respective
genres. The twins were best-sellers in Beatport’s Afro House genre two years in a row.
In less than 5 years, Lunar Plane has become one of the most prominent artists in the
electronic music scene. With strong releases on labels such as Oliver Koletzki’s Stil vor
Talent and Moscoman’s Disco Halal, the duo captivated many dance-floors across the
globe.
They have remixed Moby’s ‘My Only Love’ from his 2020 album, ‘All Visible Objects’.
