Electronic music enthusiasts are already familiar with Mechatok — real name Emir Timur Tokdemir — as one of the major figures in contemporary experimental pop and rap. Over the past decade, between international tours and collaborations with cutting-edge avant-garde artists (Drain Gang, Lorenzo Senni, and Charli XCX), the Munich-based producer has patiently refined his style: an electronic pop that is both sensitive and experimental. He unveils it on ‘Wide Awake,’ his very first album, which features rising stars from hyperpop, rap, and R&B (Bladee, Ecco2k, Isabella Lovestory) among its guest artists.
