It's the Supersound

Bumpin In SXLND

Having achieved such accolades as second best album of the year by readers in online music site Resident Advisor's 2011 Best Album poll for his full length "Room(s)" and also placing his productions in the major motion picture "Black Swan" it is safe to say that MACHINEDRUM has officially landed a blow to all mainstream shite club that crowds the airwaves.

Travis Stewart returns with the release of the 'SXLND EP' on Glasgow's LuckyMe records he applies his trademark stamp of gritty crackle analog over top of new style beat structures. This EP seems to be inspired by Deep Chicago & Modern UK House music. 'SXLND' brings to mind such luminaries as Four Tet/Jacques Greene/Caribou while recasting the genre in his own image.

From the beginning track which is little more that a ululating bass section with analog vinyl static to the 2nd off beat title stomper he pushes his sound further forward than even 'Room(s)' full length achievements. With songs like 'No Respect' and 'Van Vogue' he owns the dancefloor without compromising his almost sinister sounding house with more watery, filtered vocals and full on clap pads and synths. With the latter track 'Van Vogue' he channels the sounds of Surkin and Modeselektor into a balanced almost Dirtybird records banger. Rounding out the EP is 'DDD' which is a straight house jam in the spirit of Cassius that pops along steady with a bottom end that tests the low oHm frequencies without overloading._______

Jimpster‘s re-issued remix of Josh Wink is some Planet Kyle tunage, my friends. The rework came about about a year ago on Ovum Recordings and was re-released today as part of Kevin Saunderson’s In The House compilation. Thanks to Defected for bringing this one back to light.

If the stress of school doesn’t kill me, the drives from Toronto to Windsor in the snow will. On the trip back today this song played on the radio and got stuck in my head. Lower Dens upcoming album is set to release May 1st just in time for the short summer break I get.
