Whaaat is this ID pls? @boredlord (Saw you play at Monument btw - was unreal)

Artist: Bored Lord
Name: Daria Lourd
Pronouns: she/her/hers

The new year starts with a mix by one of my favourite artists and producers Daria Lourd aka Bored Lord. She has been on my radar for her relentless and beautifully crafted mixes and edits for about 3 years and I am happy that Daria is the first artist in 2022 to contribute to the mix series. Apart from being a glamorous figure and well renowned DJ in the night clubs of NYC, San Francisco, LA, her hometown Oakland and beyond, Daria started self-releasing her own productions and edits back in 2018. She uses her vast influences spanning several decades of music and genres to produce her own tracks and combines them with samples from TV series, movies, pop songs and rave anthems but also collaborated with producer, singer and performance artist IDHAZ for her EP They Never Taught Us To. Daria’s first production outside of her own bandcamp, The Last Illusion EP, came out in September 2021 on Eris Drew’s and Octo Octa’s T4T LUV NRG. It was the first release that was not produced by either one of the co-founders of the label. Her motivation for this expansive creative output comes from keeping the tradition and craft of DJing and edits alive, giving people something to dance to and allowing room for whatever process might come out of that but also utilizing her craft for her own expression and world building. Love this! 
Bored Lord is working on a full length album and several collaborational EPs with friends at the moment, so keep your eyes and ears open. 

Current influences: 4hero, Deftones, Janet Jackson

Bored Lord recommends this charity to look into and consider donating to:
We Are The Ones is an Oakland-based mutual aid and arts collective which is reimagining the role of the arts in empowering marginalized communities. This is a quote from a Threads Radio interview done on March 23rd 2021 with the founders of the collective: Our collective centers q/t/b/i/poc voices because of this erasure; we try to elevate Black + Brown queer + trans DJs and producers at our events to uplift and inspire our communities, and to take back what has – especially in the Bay area – been largely gentrified to the point that most people here think of techno as a ‘white thing’. So for us it’s largely a reclaiming of something that we know we are a part of and belong to and that our elders created, heeding a felt call to expand and continue that lineage of creativity. We Are The Ones runs a fund called Arm The Girls which is a Bay Area mutual aid initiative building power and safety with black/indigenous queer and trans femmes of color. Find out more below:
