Machinedrum - 3FOR82

Ninja Tune - ZEN299

Black vinyl LP in a printed inner sleeve housed in 3mm spined outer sleeve with blind UV gloss detail. Includes 20-page boutique zine and MP3 album download

3FOR82 builds on the vocalist-centric, genre-blending songwriting of the last Machinedrum album, 2020's A View Of U, and the thematic groundwork laid down on 2023 EP 4#TRAX (dedicated to channel trax on IRC, a '90s chat platform). Between drum & bass, hip-hop, jazz, R&B and juke, dazzling beat switches and a singular ear for sonics, Travis Stewart (Machinedrum) weaves in a crew of collaborators. Jesse Boykins III, the album's co-executive producer and a close friend of Stewart, leads with various contributions; while a ritzy cast including Tinashe, KUCKA, Duckwrth, AKTHESAVIOR, Mick Jenkins, Ezri, Tanerélle, Deniro Farrar, Topaz Jones, deem spencer, aja monet, ROZET, Will Johnson and Ian Maciak rounds the record off.

This rich, prismatic approach to collaboration builds on the uptempo vocal manipulations that won Stewart acclaim in electronic communities, notably on 2011's breakout LP Room(s) and 2013 opus Vapor City. The album is due for release on May 24th, through Ninja Tune, accompanied by a boutique printed zine, co-designed with visual artist and LuckyMe affiliate Joseph Durnan [124 World]. Given that Ninja Tune was one of young Travis' favourite labels, this speaks to a mantra guiding the record: observing nostalgia through a contemporary lens.
