Album Review: Machinedrum - Human Energy

Machinedrum, aka Travis Stewart, emerges from the dark labyrinthine bowels of the grimy megapolis that featured on 2013's Vapor City to take what feels like a holiday in Ibiza.

In reality, Machinedrum has moved to Los Angeles and served us a full slice of Californian dreaming. The beats bounce providing instant dancefloor gratification as the dude gets his happy on. There are a lot of guest vocalists across the album including MeLo-X and Dawn Richard, who show us exactly why they are so in demand right now. The cosmic consciousness that drives this album feels like a bright ray of hope in these supposedly dark times.
