Human Energy
With Human Energy, Travis Stewart (aka Machinedrum) has made a career-defining album, one which will take him from best-kept-secret of the electronic music cognoscenti to breakout star of the US music scene
Artist: Machinedrum
Genre: House
Label: Ninja Tune
Release date:
From opener 'Lapis,' Machinedrum sets out his stall - an arpeggio ascending to heaven which, apparently building towards the mother of all drops, instead fades up and off into the ether. The music throughout is scintillating, from the mind-candy riffs of 'White Crown' (featuring some crazy guitar work from Tosin Abasi of progresive metal band Animals As Leaders), the ecstatic d&b finale of 'Do It 4 U' (an absolute stand-out with showstopper vox from singer-of-the-moment D∆WN), the smile-inducing, melodic brilliance of 'Color Communicator,' or the precision and build of first single 'Dos Puertas,' featuring Rihanna collaborator Kevin Hussein. You could in fact, pick almost any track from this record and argue that it is a standout, all of which adds to the sense that Travis Stewart, having discovered that rare thing - spirituality and purity in electronic music - is about to have a very big year.
