So much music and all coming from Brooklyn. Check out Travis Stewart aka machinedrum.

Travis Stewart, better known by his stage name machinedrum, sometimes capitalized Machine Drum, is an electronic musician and one of the artists who helped launch Merck Records. He is also the owner of New York-based Normrex Records.

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.

In 2000 he began collegiate study at a prestigious audio mastering school and acquired many new instruments and samples. Out of this squalor of college living came his next musical project, Machinedrum. This alias can be described as 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. His first release as Machinedrum was entitled Now You Know. Travis was instantly in competition with Prefuse 73 as the new era of electronic hip hop.

His latest release Want to 1 2? was released on Normrex Records on 05.12.09. Read his full Wiki here, check out his music on MySpace, and watch videos on YouTube. It's not a genre that I list to often, but this guy sucked me in.
