Easy (Switch Screens) feat. Lorde

Bringing electronic music to the physical realm, genre-bending drummer Ian Chang is set to release his debut EP 'Spiritual Leader' this September. An acclaimed drumming virtuoso known for his work in Son Lux and Landlady, Chang uses his kit to control and manipulate samples resulting in a seamless synthesis of raw performative intensity and sophisticated sound design. 

The process began in 2015 when Chang was beta-testing Sunhouse’s Sensory Percussion, culminating in a psychedelic light show of a video and track entitled “Spiritual Leader.” Since then, Chang has honed his creative voice in gearing up to release his debut with Kowloon Records. The EP explores the relationship between human and machine, exuding an intuitive physicality meshing off-kilter rhythmic ideas with hypnotic textures and exploring the edges of IDM, ambient, free jazz, and much more with futuristic creative abandon. 

The first single “Romeo” pushes a low-slung groove through a maze of martial polyrhythms. Built around a snaking bass line and tense atmosphere, “Romeo”s stuttering beat climaxes with dizzying fills and stop-start bombast highlighting the human element at the core of Chang’s off- the-metronomic-grid approach. 

Born and raised in Hong Kong, Chang was shaped by the city’s diversity and vibrancy. He moved to New York in 2007 to pursue music and quickly gained a reputation as a “gigantically talented drummer” (NPR). To date, Chang has recorded and/or performed with such varied artists as Son Lux, Landlady, Joan As Policewoman, Body Language, Matthew Dear, Dave Douglas, Rafiq Bhatia, Rubblebucket and Moses Sumney.

Drummer, producer and multi-instrumentalist Mesut Gürsoy is the brains and pulse behind MST.

The Debut EP "Exeunt, Vol. 1" rides a hard edge between the acoustic world and the digital world of sound: Energetic, cutting edge drum beats, played on the acoustic drumset, are merging with synthesizers, vibraphone and strings to a cinematic soundscape that can be claustrophobic at times.

Growing up in a still divided Germany with a Turkish father and German mother, Mesut draws influence from his experiences of a youth filled with an ever-changing sense of identity and belonging - high tension and isolation are common themes in his work.

Having toured internationally with numerous acts all around the world, Mesut Gürsoy founded MST in 2017, using a minimalistic set up of drums, loop pedal and laptop.

Being a pure live act with overwhelming energy and ever evolving livesets at first, MST set out to do the first recordings in 2018, of what would become the first official release "Exeunt, Vol.1" (Sep 18, 2020), now opening up to other instruments and expanding the set-up.
