The American electronic producer behind Machinedrum, also known as Syndrone, Tstewart, and Neon Black, is also is one half of Sepalcure, with Praveen Sharma, and currently resides in the Kreuzberg district of Berlin. Born in 1982, he was exposed to music since a really young age. His grandfather gave him his first guitar at the age of 6, and his singer/songwriter cousin infected him with a passion for creativity. Then at high school, he started playing with rhythms through a djembe in an African ensemble. It wasn't until 8th grade that he turned into electronic music. He then started the Machinedrum project and released his first record, Now You Know, on Merck Records at the age of 19. Since then, he has collaborated with Tiombe Lockhart,Theophilus London, Jesse Boykins III, Azealia Banks, and Mickey Factz among others. But it was partnering with Praveen Sharma, and becoming Sepalcure, which helped him buid a name. Together they sign with Hotflush records and wrote and performed the song 'Outside The Lines' for Black Swan. Machinedrum has played such venues as the Sydney Opera House, the Nokia Theater in New York City, the Sonar Music Festival '11 and '12 in Barcelona, and SXSW. To hear his live hits: 'SXLND',' DDD',' Late Night Operation' or 'No Respect', go to The Lightbox, 6a South Lambeth Place, London the 23d November and get ready to hear the best of electronic.
