Machine Drum Want To 1 2?

In the early 2000’s, Travis Stewart had several releases on Miami electronic/ambient/dub/IDM label Merck, under aliases Syndrone, Sepalcure and Machine Drum. The label was clearly influenced by UK labels Warp, Skam and Rephlex, and Machine Drum’s soundscape compositions are often compared to fellow Floriadian Prefuse 73, as well as Boards of Canada, Push Button Objects and Autechre. He is now an inspiration/mentor for 2010-era melodic electronic/beats acts such as Lunice, Lazer Sword, Glitch Mob, Siriusmo. This album features guest vocals from Williamsburg neo-soul/new wave hipster Theophilus London (Green Label Sound) and Brooklyn emcee Mickey Factz (Battery Records), known for his ahead-of-the curve blending of lyrics with unlikely beats, Sarah Ruba (previously featured on Giles Peterson’s Brownswood Bubblers Four), Detroit electronic legend Jimmy Edgar (Warp Records), and former battle DJ IE.Merg. The album is beautifully packaged in a limited edition full-color hologram gatefold sleeve.
