Dancing Astronaut presents AXIS 179: Mixed by Machinedrum

by: Michael Cooper Aug 1, 2016

With a career that is barreling towards its third decade, Machinedrum has had ample time to evolve while maintaining his diverse, idiosyncratic sound. Originally from North Carolina, though now based in Los Angeles, the producer has provided a wide-ranging mix for the 179th edition of our AXIS mix series.

The mix is a good primer for those who are unfamiliar with Machinedrum’s work and concludes with his latest single “Angel Speak,” a collaboration with MeLo-X. This marks his first release under the Machinedrum moniker since his album Vapor City three years ago and provides a glimpse at his upcoming live tour, featuring a stop at Miami’s III Points festival.

As for how he approached this mix, Machinedrum had this to say: “This mix is my attempt at bridging the gap between the sonic world I created with Vapor City and the future of Machinedrum’s sound. There’s loads of unreleased music, some of it will probably never get released. I hope you enjoy!”
