The self-titled debut Scandroid album (2016) and sophomore album Monochrome (2017), each received critical acclaim with #1 iTunes Electronic Album charting, plus Top 5 Billboard Electronic Album Sales Charting. Scandroid’s success has spawned tens of millions of online streams, over 500,000 global monthly listeners and 250,000 worldwide followers and a collection of remixes from respected artists, including: Dance With The Dead, PYLOT, Lazerpunk, Daniel Deluxe, GosT, Makeup and Vanity Set, Waveshaper, Fury Weekend, Volkor-X, VHS Dreams and more.
“Scandroid is my musical destination that allows me to explore the sounds that defined some of the best times of my life.” – Klayton
Between 2018 and 2020 Klayton created the ambitious Scandroid double-album The Darkness and The Light as the project’s 3rd studio album. Between 2020-2022 Klayton released multiple Scandroid collaborations including original songs with Essenger, 3FORCE, Fury Weekend, and DEADLIFE.
In Summer 2023 Klayton announced his most ambitious Scandroid album yet. Based in the year 2525 the release is set to include a wide range of creative multi-media tie-ins. The new studio album kicked off with the release of the single “Shadow of the Drones” followed by a collaboration with his project Celldweller on the track “Waste My Time.” With a world-building novella already written by award-winning authors Joshua Viola and Sean Eads, other plans for Scandroid’s fourth studio album include expanded physical formats, including Mini-Disc, cassette, CD and vinyl, with more plans to be announced. The album is expected in 2024.
