Mechatok shares new single “Addiction”

Munich-born, London-based artist Mechatok, has dropped new single “Addiction”, his debut track for Young Recordings and first new solo music in over three years. “Addiction” Follows collaborations with Oklou, Charli XCX, and Evian Christ, and more. The song sees Mechatok explore experimental sounds, and is accompanied by a visual created with Nate Boyce.
Talking about “Addiction”, Mechatok says: “During the time I made the song I felt like I was stuck in some kind of loop. Or more like many loops running parallel. Doing things, consuming media etc. unsure If I actually enjoy them or if they’re basically just compulsive habits. “Addiction” emerged as a soundtrack to that. It’s kind of like a pop song looking at itself in a broken mirror”
Mechatok the project of Timur Tokdemir, spent his teenage years in Munich studying classical guitar. During this time, he began exploring club culture on his trips to Berlin, which ultimately led him down a different path. Rather than pursuing a career in classical music, Tokdemir relocated to Berlin and released his first EP, See Thru. Tokdemir toured the States, Asia, South America, and released his 2018 album All My Time, via Lorenzo Senni’s Presto!? Mechatok continued to explore new angles on pop and electronica, collaborating with Bladee and Ecco2K, video-game soundtracks such as 2020’s “Defective Holiday” and numerous mixes. At the end of 2021, he released a collaborative album with Bladee, followed by a remix album that featured Charli XCX, Evian Christ, and more. Since then, he’s soundtracked Zack Sabre Jr’s entrance at Wrestle Kingdom atTokyo Dome, completed an impressive run of live sets; from an NTS Rush takeover with Isabella Lovestory to memorable performances at 1017-ALYX-9SM, and Maiden Voyage, along with his own Natural Mind rave series.
