It’s no secret that Mr. Bill is one of the great minds in electronic dance music. Known for his ingenious production skills, wizard-like creativity, and unparalleled sound design, the Australian-born producer is a true master of sound. Whether he’s sharing Ableton tips with his in-depth courses and tutorials or collaborating with artists like deadmau5, Subtronics, and Infected Mushroom, Mr. Bill has not only established himself as one of the most talented producers in the game but an undeniable legend in the community.
Now, adding to his already iconic discography, Mr. Bill’s latest album, Mechanomorphic, further cements his name into dance music history. Released on Friday, April 12, through Monstercat Uncaged, Mechanomorphic is a wondrous immersion into sound, technology, and the human spirit. Spanning 18 tracks the album not only showcases his innovative ability but serves as a testament to his dedication to his craft.
Mr. Bill dedicated 12 hours a day to writing the album.
With his next-level ability in the studio, Mr. Bill could have easily pumped out an album with little to no effort at all and still ended up with a record full of bangers. However, that’s not who Mr. Bill is. Like any other great in any other field, what sets him apart is not just his skills but his commitment to his trade and relentless work ethic.
With an effort that highlights an exemplary devotion to his art, he dedicated 12 hours a day to working on the album. From passionate writing sessions to formulating a concept, Mr. Bill worked tirelessly until Mechanomorphic was complete. In doing so, he not only formed a unified body of work but crafted a cohesive masterpiece that pushes the boundaries of sound.
Mechanomorphic reflects the relationship between humanity and machines.
From the electric opener, Big Chordi Boi, to the magnetic sounds of Stutter and mechanized melodies of the closing track sudo, Mechanomorphic takes listeners on an exploratory journey through music and technology. Reflecting the ever-evolving relationship between machines and humanity, the record blends qualities from the digital world with traits of the human spirit for a stunning expansion of sound and creativity.
“The definition of ‘Mechanomorphic’ is “having the form or qualities of a machine,” and in a way, the album kind of has that, but that isn’t why I named it that,” Mr Bill explained. “ I’ve always been interested in the i/o system between humans and technology (especially in creative fields); humans build technology, the technology influences humans, and it continues in this loop. In my opinion, that idea has never been more pertinent than it is now with the introduction of AI into society, and so that idea inspired the name of this album.”
Mechanomorphic is a genre-bending experience.
Blending everything from kaleidoscopic soundscapes to gritty drops of bass and beautiful melodic progressions, Mechanomorphic is an immersive sonic experience that’ll dissolve the reality around you and transport you into an unoccupied simulation of sound. Showcasing his versatility as a producer, Mr. Bill effortlessly fuses elements of dubstep, hip-hop, glitch, house, and electronica into one cohesive work of art. From the transcendent beats of Barely See with The Widdler to the heavy-hitting rhymes of Bring It On with COPYCATT & Def3, Mechanomporphic is captivating, revolutionary, and an absolute must-listen.
