Crisis

Mecha Maiko (AKA Hayley Stewart) is back with third album NOT OK, which could end up changing the entire landscape of synthwave. The Toronto-based artist has always stood out among synthwave acts for her inventive, dogma-smashing approach to the genre. Her 2018 debut, Mad But Soft, and EP Okiya, from 2019, showed an artist who could produce experimental yet catchy, complicated yet minimalist songs that evoke the delicate and often turbulent relationship between humans and machines. She continued that streak with Let’s in 2019, and loaded it with early ‘90s house and contemporary electro-pop elements that took the songs to dark dance floors splashed in neon pink. It was deeply human but inherently mechanistic.

A lot has happened in the world since then, and NOT OK reflects that — even if the foundation of some of its songs stem from that pre-pandemic, post-Let’s era. Although she started work on the album at rural escape she referred to as “Synthpop Farm,” surrounded by a cornucopia of flora and fauna, she finalized the record in 2021 in Toronto with engineer and producer Jack Marko.

NOT OK tackles the scandalous level of trials the world faces today, including “bogus conspiracy theories, racism, sexism, violence, and environmental destruction,” she says. However, she does this via a kinetic blend of dance-heavy rhythms, captivatingly melodic synths, and an array of experimental sonics that together keep listeners engaged throughout the record’s 50-minute run.

“Hopefully it can validate some of the feelings and frustrations that others have been grappling with, and to serve as a reminder that we don't have to accept things as they are,” Mecha Maiko says. “I also hope it inspires people to deepen their connections to nature, and see just how beautiful life off-screen is.”

With ‘Telepatik (Remixes)’, Telepopmusik's Antipop assembles an international cast of emerging and established electronic music innovators to reinvent his chromatic electro-pop collaboration with fellow TM vocalist Betty Black (aka singer/songwriter/producer and Southern Gothic chanteuse Sylvia Black). 

From the narcotic dark disco sleaze of UK DJ/producer ALEX and Chicago-based DJ/producer Alex Zelenka (Possessions), the bouncy piano and bass-led house grooves of French duo SUPERMUSIQUE and the esoteric simmering “lo-fi” electro-tech funk of Chilean duo Compadre to the soothing textural electronic R&B downbeats of Arizona’s Marten Cardona, Antipop’s own Sinister Acid rework of the original, and composer/producer Duke B.’s closing meditative atmospheric mix, the glittering 6-track set surges and sways with vibrant melodic soundscapes suitable for varied tastes and environments.

Night Escape (Feat. Keep Shelly in Athens) TEEEL REMIX

Change, change
I can feel the change in you
My heart is racing
So save me
I can see it deep in your eyes
And all want is you
Reach out
But I can never promise the truth
It's so eradicating
So chase me
We can do this till the end of time
Yeah

Chase me
Save me again
Face me
Everything is gonna be alright
Fear me
Don't doubt me again
Chase me
We can do this till the end of time

To fear
To fall
To love is suffocating
To cheer
It on
It's all so intoxicating
Reach out
But I can never promise the truth
It's so eradicating
So chase me
We can do this till the end of time
Yeah

Chase me
Save me again
Face me
Everything is gonna be alright
Fear me
Don't doubt me again
Chase me
We can do this till the end of time

Chase me
Face me
Fear me
Chase me
We can do this till the end of time
