  • London-based producer Lukid will release his third album this month, entitled Chord. Despite having just three records under his belt so far, Lukid has carved out a distinctive sound for himself that lies somewhere between experimental hip-hop acts like Flying Lotus and UK-based artists such as Actress––the latter of whom will release Chord via his Werk Discs imprint. Writing about his 2008 album Foment, Oli Marlow described Lukid's style as having a "low-slung, late night pace" and "punchy post-Dilla drum programming." The new album will feature three tracks from that CD-only release (hence making their vinyl debut), plus eight brand new tunes. It will be available exclusively as a triple-LP, with a limited pressing of 500 copies. Tracklist A1 Chord B1 Veto B2 Rags C1 Hair Of The Dog C2 Child Of The Jago D1 Saddlebags D2 Through Gritted Teeth E1 Lego E2 Spiller F1 Stripes F2 Makes Werk Discs will release Chord in October 2010.
