MOKOTRON is a Tāmaki-based Māori producer from Ngāti Hine, who spreads seismic waves of low frequency Indigenous electronic music. Exploring ancient futurism through music, MOKOTRON imagines a reality without colonisation, where the ancestors transition from the ancient world into the modern, creating futures of hope juxtaposed with the hard realities of urban disconnection.

ŌHĀKĪ is accompanied by a music video made in collaboration between animator and video artist Simon Ward & visual artist James Paratii Lainchbury (with assistance from NZ On Air Music). The stark black background gives way to Lainchbury’s intricate line work, which revels in its scary intensity fusing elements of whakairo, horror and ancient futurism. “It looks how my music sounds,” says McDowell. “Paratii’s art has become as much a part of the MOKOTRON project as the music is, so it’s exciting there will now be a third aspect to the project – animation.”

ŌHĀKĪ Lyrics
Mā wai rā, ka hikitia ake te take raupatu?
He aha te ōhākī o Irihapeti?
Tawhitiwhiti rawa ka tangi te iwi
Mō te whenua ngaro e, aue!
Ko koe te namu e kakati ana
I te whārangi o te kawenata
Mā wai kā hiki ngā take o te iwi e?
