Scandroid’s music has cracked the Top 10 on the iTunes Electronic Albums chart and the Top 5 on the Billboard Electronic Albums chart. Along with his original songs streaming in the millions, Scandroid’s music has also been the subject of several popular remixes, including a Dance With the Dead remix of "Neo-Tokyo" that has accumulated 12 million combined streams between Spotify and YouTube alone.
Following the Scandroid self-titled debut album in 2016, Klayton released a second full-length album, Monochrome (Deluxe Edition), in 2017. He then embarked on the most ambitious project in Scandroid’s history to day, releasing the first half of an epic double album in The Darkness in 2018. The second half, The Light, was released in late 2019 with the complete album, The Darkness and The Light, to follow in 2020.

The lyrics to Scandroid's song "2517" are reflective of a world that has been transformed by man's dependence on machines. The first stanza, "The state of man, and of machine, streets of Japan, 2517," introduces us to a futuristic society where machines are an integral part of everyday life. The use of the term "state" implies that the relationship between man and machine is not one of balance, but rather an imbalance in power. In this world, machines have overtaken the urban landscape to the extent that they are now a defining feature of the cityscape.
In the second stanza, "The fate of man, and of machine, it all began, 2517," the lyrics suggest that this state of affairs did not come about by chance. Rather, it was the result of a conscious choice by humanity to become increasingly reliant on technology. The use of the term "fate" implies that this choice has had far-reaching and perhaps irreversible consequences. The year "2517" serves as a marker for when this transformation took place, indicating that it is set at least 500 years in the future.
Overall, the song "2517" is a commentary on the dangers of humanity's growing dependence on technology, and a warning of what the future may hold if we continue down this path.

Klayton is a musical genius. His music, no matter whichever name he made it under, will always be awesome.

Once I realized the message of this song and the conventional reality it examines, it liked it even more than I did before. Brilliant work Klayton.
