Machinedrum

After years of wayward traveling through dance music's many realms—IDM, deep house and so forth—Machinedrum's Travis Stewart settled into a distinctive niche of spastic vocal-sample–heavy UK bass music with 2011's Room(s). After a few EP's and a follow-up LP, Vapor City, he's refined that style with the addition of his own voice, Amen breaks and acoustic guitar to make for a potent live set.
