Percussion Lab is proud to host this dope, hard hitting live mix from Travis Stewart, AKA Machine Drum. The set is from 2003. First blazing his way onto the scene with his blend of crunchy hip hop, chopped up vocals and sinewave melodies as Machine Drum, Travis Stewart has also released incredibly complex electronic beats as Syndrone and surgically sliced and diced soundscapes as T.Stewart. This set features sounds off his latest Machine Drum album, Bidnezz, available on M3rck Records. Be sure to peep his upcoming T.Stewart project, also due out on M3rck.

Percussion Lab is proud to feature this live set by M3rck recording artist, Deceptikon. His blend of raw hip hop with smooth instrumental loops has been keeping us here at Percussion Lab entertained for the past week. Zack Wright aka Deceptikon has been making electronic music for quite a few years, and signed with Merck Records (based out of Miami, Florida) in 2002. His debut 12" release, "Lost Subject," went out of print only four months after it was released. His first full-length album, also titled "Lost Subject", was released on Merck in May of this year. A native of the Pacific Northwest, Deceptikon has played many shows in Oregon, Washington, and New York City over the last few years. A US tour is planned for September 2004...
