Machinedrum - 3FOR82

Released 24th May 2024

Travis Stewart aka Machinedrum reasserts his GOAT status with another brilliantly innovative album effortlessly traversing tempos and musical styles as only he can. 3FOR82 comprises 12 high-intensity, ruminative tracks that thread the needle between his past, present and future selves. His first studio album since 2020s A View of U, 3FOR82 features an incredible cast of collaborators including Tinashe, Duckwrth, Mick Jenkins, Jesse Boykins III, KUKA, AKTHESAVIOR, Tanerlle, deem spencer, Deniro Farrar and Topaz Jones.

Between drum & bass, hip-hop, jazz, R&B, dazzling beat switches and a singular ear for sonics, Machinedrum adopts a rich, prismatic approach to collaboration, building on the uptempo vocal manipulations that won him acclaim in electronic communities, notably on 2011s breakout LP Room(s) and 2013 opus Vapor City.
