MECHATOK Teams Up With Tohji For New Single '200'

The Mechatok movement is upon us. Following the release of the anthemic 'Expression On Your Face' with Bladee and Ecco2k, Mechatok returns today with '200', a collaboration with Tokyo rap icon Tohji. The track is the latest taste from Mechatok’s hotly anticipated forthcoming debut album, Wide Awake , out 8 August via Young Recordings. '200' marks the first time Mechatok and Tohji have reunited since the 2022 cult release 'Ultra Rare'. The music comes alongside a video directed by L-DOPA studios’ dopesolitary and shot by EternalUSA and Guz Reichwald. Speaking on the new music, Mechatok says, "I made 200 on a shitty winter day Berlin chopping up a vocal Tohji sent me. I was missing the times me and him would roam the streets of Shibuya at speed around Tokyo in his blue car at night.” It follows earlier singles 'Addiction', 'Virus Freestyle,' 'Expression On Your Face', and they reinforce Mechatok’s architectural ability to stretch the boundaries of what modern pop and rap can be and preview the ambitious project to come.

A precise and emotionally intuitive body of work, Wide Awake explores identity, authenticity, and expression in an era shaped by algorithms and digital overstimulation. Featuring a carefully curated global cast of contributors including Bladee, Ecco2k, Isabella Lovestory, and Tohji, Wide Awake is a future-facing record that positions Mechatok not just as a sought-after collaborator but as a solo artist in full command of his voice. Tokdemir distills pop components until they become addictive, personal mantras; fragments that feel at once fleeting and enduring. Through the Mechatok persona, he accesses forms of expression that feel paradoxically more intimate and timeless. Wide Awake is available for pre-order in digital and physical (black 12” LP and CD) formats. Released digitally on Friday 8 August 2025 and physically on Friday 5th September.
