Vapor City is the eighth studio album by American music producer Machinedrum, released on September 29, 2013[1] on the record label Ninja Tune.[2]

Production

The concept for Vapor City came about through a series of vivid, recurring dreams Stewart had about a fictional city. Each track on the album is meant to explore and define a different district or neighborhood within this world.[3]

Soon after its release, an interactive website[4] was launched allowing fans and subscribers to 'unlock' the various districts of Vapor City, granting them access to exclusive content and unheard music.

Reception

Reception to the record was favorable, with many critics responding positively to Stewart's of-the-moment blend of footwork, jungle, and bass influences.[5]
