 NOTES
 Planet Mu are really pleased, as we've signed Travis Stewart, a.k.a. Machinedrum.
 Travis is known to the electronic music cognoscenti as one of the finest, yet
 inexplicably underexposed producers out there. After an extended EP last year on the
 Luckyme label he's putting out this four tracker followed by an album with Mu, and
 his new tracks and live performances are garnering some excited attention and new
 fans and supporters.
 The songs on this EP are light and sun-hued with psychedelic, colourful sounds and
 melodies. Clocking in at around 160 bpm, they work with the rhythmic conventions of
 Footwork and Jungle.
 'Sacred Frequency' opens the EP with floods of spiralling synth washes and organ
 chords over kicks and snares, before ushering in Travis' sweet psychedelic vocals.
 It's an unexpectedly catchy and poppy track, and it's not much of a stretch to call
 it one of the freshest pop moments this year.
 'Flycatcha (ft. Body Language)' matches pitch-shifted Detroit techno chords with
 snapping footwork style drum kicks and pulses, with Body Language smearing and
 scratching in words and phrases, giving the track a relaxed blur.
 'Fantastix' is a retooling of UK Rave into a tighter, punchier footwork influenced
 sound. Chipmunked diva voices and chord stabs mix with tightly rolling breaks and
 frazzled wonky neon synths.
 'Listen 2 me' mixes tribal drums over a 4/4 kick, looping in a subtle autotuned vocal
 and building and filtering chords in and out to create a lush hazy ecstacy.
