Lukid

Lukid is a man of few words so when we asked him to write a short bio we were expecting a quick sentence or a couple of lines that condensed his entire career up until now but instead we got this:

After completing a thoroughly uninspiring music technology course in Leeds, a despondent Lukid returned to North London with some big decisions to make. Would he defy his tutor’s doubts and pursue a career in the cut-throat music industry? Would he surrender to the inevitable and begin the dreaded job-hunt? Or would he follow in his grandfather’s footsteps and live his life in the Socialist underworld, eating his lunch from a tin box and referring to his friends as comrades?

Lukid decided that these decisions could wait, and instead immersed himself in a world of daytime TV, late-night beat making, and 24-hour existential dread. Inspired by obsessions with artists such as Can, Madlib, Theo Parrish and Autechre, Lukid spent many a lonely night hunched over his midi keyboard, layering up wonky beats and squeezing out woozy chords.

Once a month Lukid will select five videos from Youtube to bring to your attention, this month highlights include Serge Gainsbourg and a paper aeroplane.
