@lukid is about as low key as they come. Somehow, he's managed to remain in the shadows despite making music - either solo or as half of Rezzett - for cult labels like Actress' Werkdiscs and The Trilogy Tapes, as well as his own Glum. His style is hard to define and can take in anything from caustic sonic collages to experimental and abstract sound design via lo-fi house and blistering beats. Since 2018 he has also made old school jungle as Refreshers, but whatever he does, it always explores the outermost fringes. The same is always true of his never less than adventurous transmissions on NTS each month.

In just 55 minutes for us this week, he serves up a breathless trip through hugely kinetic sounds that could be 30 years old or not out till next month. Amongst the colliding energies of hardcore, jungle and rave he will often drop a pitched up vocal so soulful and emotive it hurts, before racing onto the next flurry of drums. Frankly, it's a high speed mix of hyper real sounds that acts like a double shot of adrenaline straight into your bloodstream. You have been warned.

@renildn: "It’s a bit of a snapshot of a club set from me, full of some of the sounds and styles that feature on Revenge Body. With the ep release I felt like it also made sense to include a few tracks from artists who've influenced me eg. The Bug, Surgeon, Lurka, alongside loads of new stuff from South London crew, Bristol, Manchester, South America, plus some other stuff tba...hope ya enjoy!"

CCL on their staggering Friday performance at ROTUNDA: 

“I normally don’t get to play that fast from the get go but the crowd was so great it felt easy to play literally everything. It felt a bit like a wind tunnel in there. The shape of the stage, the whirling in and out of different tempos and the crowd’s energy made up for the perfect environment to play nothing but fast and half time rollers.”

Further Back and Faster with Amelia Holt and Yumi @ The Lot Radio 01 - 26 - 2023

Known for their boundary pushing, often challenging electronic productions, and pioneering experiential live performances, the duo of Sheffield's Mark Fell and Mat Steel deviated from their city's tradition for more straightforward bleep and techno offshoots to create sparse, minimal and repetitive competitions that favour gentle insistence over high impact.

_"we focus on leaving the audience feeling cold, not just a lack of interest in trying to engage anyone, but more like deliberately avoiding this... no dynamic changes in beats or nodding heads behind powerbooks, just large, awkward, immobile slabs of form. Imagine a Zen Buddhist with unresolved emotional issues. For me, thats how this particular "vibe" relates to minimal or formal aesthetics."_ - Mark Fell
