Machinedrum

Machinedrum Thursday, May 14th 2026 18+ | Zaku Stage Machinedrum returns with BL00MS, his first independently released EP and a bold shift back to the dancefloor. Marking a departure from recent vocal-led projects, Travis Stewart delivers a fully instrumental release that spans dubstep, UK garage, jungle, and melodic house across a dynamic 136–160 BPM range. Drawing inspiration from artists like Underworld, Mala, Four Tet, and Floating Points, the EP reconnects with the spirit of his Room(s) and Vapor City eras while pushing his sound forward. Following the introspective album 3FOR82, BL00MS channels emotional clarity into intricate rhythms and evolving melodic textures built through layered, hocketing techniques. The project also signals the relaunch of Stewart’s independent label IAMSIAM, as he returns to self-releasing with full creative control.
