MECHATOK 黑胶唱片和CD

Review: For their latest outing, Munich's Public Posession has looked close to home for inspiration. Gulf Area marks the 12" debut of young Munich producer Mechatok, AKA producer Timur Tokdemir, whose recently decamped to Berlin. As first efforts go, it's rather impressive, with the deep, spacey title track - all fizzing drum machine beats, stretched-out chords and chiming, moonlit melodies - immaculately setting the tone. He finishes side A with the lilting, harp-laden downtempo melancholia of "UDG", before subtly breaking up the beats on the bass-heavy, off-kilter deepness of "Aeroco". Finally, he subtly mines those post-dubstep influences further on EP closer "Loss", whose sweet musicality, heartfelt pianos and classical flourishes are little less than beguiling.
