MACHINEDRUM (US/M3rck)
http://www.myspace.com/machinedrum ; http://www.m3rck.net

Machine Drum has always been the most high profile and in-demand artist
over at Miami's Merck imprint - no wonder given the imapct his awesome
"Now You Know" album made on its release some 4 years ago.
Travis Stewart sticks to the Machine Drum agenda here, though dipping
into some distinctly jiggy territory while he's at it. Past the glorious
droned-out bliss of opening segment "Entrau", "Disa Bling" sets the
agenda with a narrowly cut-up bboy flick through hiccup funk, Prefuse
stylee, though with those trademark warm strings turning things
fluffed-up and blue. "Stevie Bam Jackson", "Offs" and "Inner Outer",
meanwhile, add the scuzzed up vibe that Dabrye has personalised in
recent years - though they serve as a good reminder of how upfront and
up to the minute Machine Drum's sound has been, not to mention
influential. 22 tracks wide, deep, instrumental electronic hip hop
shiznizz, ya'hear?
