Machinedrum [NYC] - hip hop accentuated by mutant drum patterns, dense IDM style melodies, and MCs freed in the digital world to slip-up and double-back on their rhymes. Travis Stewart's first release as Machinedrum was entitled Now You Know. He was instantly in competition with Prefuse 73 as the new era of electronic hip hop, initially started by the likes of Gescom & Push Button Objects. Travis helped launch Merck Records and is also the owner of New York-based Normrex Records. He has also sold rights to some of his music to Adult Swim for tracks played during some of their program interludes. His debut album was released under one of his aliases, Syndrone. The style of which could best be described as tracking Autechre stylized glitch but adding a bit of venous melody. Syndrone's debut, Triskaideka started off small but within a matter of years sold out of 1,000 copies and was soon licensed by a respected European IDM label called Djak-Up-Bitch. Machinedrum employs the use of a Tracker in the early stages of his production process. Specifically, he uses Schism Tracker. Further, Stewart uses Ableton Live for sequencing. Both programs are run on the Mac OS X platform. |
