From the start, Son Lux has operated as something akin to a sonic test kitchen. The Academy Award® and BAFTA-nominated band strives to question deeply held assumptions about how music is made and reconstruct it from a molecular level. What began as a solo project for founder Ryan Lott expanded in 2014, thanks to a kinship with Ian Chang and Rafiq Bhatia too strong to ignore. The trio strengthened their chemistry and honed their collective intuition while creating, releasing, and touring six recordings, including Brighter Wounds (2018) and triple album Tomorrows (2021). The result is a carefully cultivated musical language rooted in curiosity and balancing opposites that largely eschews genre and structural conventions. And yet, the band remains audibly indebted to iconoclastic artists in soul, hip-hop, and experimental improvisation who themselves carved new paths forward. 

Distilling these varied influences, Son Lux searches for equilibrium of raw emotional intimacy and meticulous electronic constructions. Son Lux scored A24’s Best Picture winner Everything Everywhere All at Once for which they were nominated for two Academy Awards and a BAFTA. The full score album features new collaborations with Mitski, David Byrne, Randy Newman, and Moses Sumney, among others.

Vincent Floyd came on the scene with the release of "Your Eyes" on Dance Mania Records in 1990. Serene and thoroughly musical, "Your Eyes" left no doubts about Floyd’s talent as a writer nor his production prowess. 
Vincent would explore this musical territory further on “Cruising (Long Ride),” released on Resound Records, the label he started through a P&D agreement with Gherkin Records. Inspired by long drives up Lake Shore Drive, the road that runs along Lake Michigan for almost the entirety of Chicago, the 12 minute long track is hypnotic and mellow, wrapped in dreamy pads and laced with whirling pitches and heavenly leads.
In 1992, Floyd went on tour as a keyboardist with Larry Heard AKA Mr. Fingers, then on MCA Records.  Vincent kept amassing unreleased tracks. Some eventually found their way onto EPs for Cajmere’s Relief Records in 1995 and Mindfood, Rated X Records and Subwoofer in 1996.
After obtaining a Bachelors in Music from Chicago State University, and a Masters of Arts degree from Roosevelt University, Vincent worked as a music teacher for Chicago Public Schools.
In 2014, after Vincent Floyd met Antal Heitlager, head of powerhouse Dutch label Rush Hour. Antal set in motion an ambitious reissue campaign that includes an entire album’s worth of previously unreleased material called “Moonlight Fantasy.” Vincent came back to make up for lost time and, in 2016 he released his first EP on his own Dawn Notes Records.
Floyd is currently Djing, recording and remixing with clubs and record labels around the world.
