Mechatok’s ‘Nite Dew’ brings budget computer music back
RnB/Hip Hop | Wednesday 26th October 2016 | Cristina
Mechatok makes music that sounds like it’s from a cheap 90s computer game that never quite became cool or lucrative. Revealingly, it also sounds great, so apparently that’s just the sound du jour. Perhaps containing faint echoes of the emphatically artificial sound of PC Music, it’s well-produced, fairly minimal R&B, making no bones about its digital origins. This unique, distinct and sophisticated voice in electronic music released this track last year. Affiliated with Swedish rapper Yung Lean and Young Thug, he DJs a mix of trap and hip hop influenced electronic music and breakout South African dance music gqom.
