There are a few aspects of the latest Machinedrum live show that are notoriously tricky to get right. For starters, the set is based on a concept album, itself so often a creative dead-end. Then there's the presence of a drummer, something that rarely makes sense with club music. And it's also important to consider the music's tempo, which regularly exceeds 160 BPM. All of which makes it doubly impressive that the show is killer. At RA's SXSW showcase earlier this year, Travis Stewart, the man behind Machinedrum, and Lane Barrington, his highly talented drummer, moved the music around the districts of Vapour City, the imaginary metropolis that Stewart's latest album is based on. The video projection, created by the visual artist Weirdcore, perfectly complemented Stewart's humid style of footwork and jungle. The show climaxed with Barrington playing standing up, as Stewart thrashed on his guitar at the front of the stage. We invited the pair to record an RA Session last month to try and capture some of that magic. They performed a poised medley, which started with the ambient tones of "Vizion," stirred to life with "Center Your Love," and brought things home with the glistening "SeeSea."

center your love makes me want to cry..so many feels, so many memories
Keep them, they define who you are inside.
That song reminds me of a time when I actually had the capacity to feel
The addition of drummer Lane Barrington transformed this already phenomenal album into something truly sublime...
the drum sound is so perfect. That subdued snare.
literally take me away. i dont even know what that means but thats how i feel
I didn't know that Machine Drum put in all that work to produce his music. Wow...
Yup, good music takes work...
Awesome, his music is a whole spectrum. Check it out.
That two and a half minute intro of Vizion was incredibly beautiful. I hope I can catch Machinedrum live one day, seems like it would be an experience.
The drummer had me at "go". His intricate handy work mesmerized me. Caught it on the TV series "Real Scenes" about NYC.
This stuff inspires me. I wanna work hard and make good music and share it with good people. I love this.
This is fucking brilliant.
Best RA Session yet, I've watched this at least 40 times now.

One of my fave Ytb videos ever.Both producer and drummer rely on each to make the magic work live,
what a talented individual cannot believe how capable of a producer this guy is!!!
Don't forget the drummer..
Everything Machinedrum does is awesome. Years and years of awesome. I need to see him live again.
I have basically listened to this 1.7 million times
This might be one of the most impactful, and coolest, things I've seen in my life.

Wow, loving that guitar on "Center Your Love". A nice twist on the recorded version.

Machinedrum has come along way. I'd love to see this in a club.

Center Your Love
I've had most of this playlist on a loop coming in out of the rain all day.
Travis is so very talented .. MACHINEDRUM all day!
the drummer is incredible here .. so rad live
one of the best shows i've seen live was machinedrum in vancouver at fortune sound a few years back. he brought lane with him, unbeknownst to me, and it was a delicious surprise. completely mezmerizing. since then i've attended several of his shows hoping that this arrangement would be present, but he's yet to tour again with lane. really anticipating the next visit by this duo.
Excellent. Heard Center Your Love in a random shop years ago in London, Shazammed it, bought the album. Great stuff

2:35
This is awesome, but I have to say I would have liked to hear the drums a bit more. You can hardly hear the (acoustic) cymbals.
is that an epiphone emperor swingster guitar?
this is the shit
Is the drummer even mic-ed?
His right cymbal obviously isn't mic-ed.
shortstop4313 They are pick-ups for the drum samples. Just confusing with the background mics still picking up some of his actual hits.
Robert Sopenlehto
Makes sense! The drums are just midi triggers.
shortstop4313
It definately is mic-ed. It is just not very loud. The drummer has more of a supportive role.
dont think so. check 8:52, normal drum kit
would love to see Jojo Mayer drumming ;]
Why am I only finding his now? So much lost time. I actually prefer this arrangement over the studio album's order of tracks.
The Kraftwerk of today, but its Machinedrum
who is the drummer?
Lane Barrington
Lane has a great solo electronic project called Gladiating! Highly recommend!
ტყნაჩოა!
Sandro Tavartkiladze Do u think These songs sounds better than the original songs?
how dare machinedrum use anything but elektron!
ok that drummer has mad fucking skills though.
This is impressive as hell but why? To prove you can play what can easily be sampled and repeated?
