The Next Levelists present: "Tinglings" the debut EP from NZ's LÜdic. 

According to google, Ludic is the act of "showing spontaneous and undirected playfulness" - this definition is captured perfectly in his debut release - "Tinglings" 
Stan has cooked up a serious smorgasbord of experimental sonic plasma, bound by no genre limits. "Tinglings" features an array of up-tempo experimental breaks, hi-tech, drum and bass and more. This release encapsulates our philosophy here at the next levelists, it can't be penciled in to a specific genre, it breaks and pushes boundaries and it does it all with a touch of rebellion. Just when you think you know whats next, a cheeky middle finger is raised and a new assortment of sound is revealed. 

Without a doubt this is only the beginning for LÜdic, and we can't wait to see where this sonic servitor ends up.
