Mecha Maiko - Let's! (2019)

Mecha Maiko is back to blow you away with her most dance-oriented record to date. For Let’s! she has drawn inspiration from her favourite upbeat 90s dance and freestyle jams to create a sound that is uniquely hers. Aimed at a more DJ-friendly approach, these tracks will find a happy home on the dance floor.

Mecha Maiko has taken a stylized, deliberate approach to the writing process with hardware accompaniments that expand on the stylistic framework laid out in Okiya, released earlier this year. This record draws on the anxiety felt in a late-stage capitalist society and seeks to agitate that uncomfortable energy within us to shake us from our collective paralysis of shock. Inspiring, uplifting and motivating, these songs are unmistakably laser-lit dirges of the dystopia.

Anyone who has been following her trajectory will be thrilled to hear some familiar sounds as this record gives recognition to Mecha Maiko’s hidden gems to be found on Unloved and Unreleased, reinvented and enhanced alongside a slew of new sonic explorations ranging from techno-tinged power jams to delicate calls to introspection.

Her single ‘Phones’ is currently available and serves as an indication that this record is a strong entry in Mecha Maiko’s discography.
