Totakeke
Biography_
Totakeke is Frank Mokros, NY-based producer that has managed to capture the attention of electronic music audiophiles and critics alike with his first release for Tympanik Audio titled ‘eLekatota - The Other Side Of The Tracks‘ in early 2008. When he’s not putting out noisy breakcore-tingled industrial under his main project Synth-etik (Hands Productions), Frank focuses on the deeper elements of electronic sound structure with his prolific project Totakeke.
After his first two releases for Frozen Empire Media, a remix for Terrorfakt, and appearances on the ‘Emerging Organisms‘ compilation series, Totakeke joined Tympanik Audio with the release of his 2nd full length album titled ‘eLekatota: The Other Side of the Tracks‘. With thirteen solid tracks of addictive rhythms, richly-layered beats, intriguing samples, and cavernous atmospherics, that all seem to somehow replenish themselves with each listen. ‘eLekatota: The Other Side of the Tracks’ proves to be a timeless opus that has been hailed by critics and fans as one of the finest Industrial productions in years.
The companion CD release ‘Forgotten On The Other Side Of The Tracks‘‘ hit listeners in late 2008 with 10 lost tracks + remixes by Lucidstatic, Pandora’s Black Book, and Terrorfakt.
As an added bonus, Tympanik Audio offered a free 12-track download compilation of Totakeke’s work titled ‘Past:Present:Future‘ featuring selections from the entire Totakeke discography including 4 new tracks from the upcoming DCD full-length album ‘The Things That Disappear When I Close My Eyes‘.
Now, Totakeke offers his brand new full-length album ‘The Things That Disappear When I Close My Eyes‘ - a 2CD collection featuring 13 outstanding new songs + remixes by Pneumatic Detach, Access To Arasaka, Flint Glass, Disharmony, Lucidstatic, Zentriert ins Antlitz, and more…
