"Process" (catalogue number "O-Ton 109") is the 2017 debut EP by the techno group LSD, a collaboration between Luke Slater, Steve Bicknell and Function (aka Dave Sumner).[1] The tracks are described as focused on "the psychedelic aspects of techno",[2] and an "interpretation of stroboscopic intensity on the summit of psychedelic experiences - permeated with moments of hypnotic and atonal melodies".[3]
The three producers had worked together at various points over the previous 25 years; Slater and Bicknell remixed various of each others tracks during the early 1990s, Bicknell and Sumner had performed live together,[3] while Sumner appears on a 2015 release from Slater's 'LB Dub Corp' project.[4] The EP was preceded by live concerts in 2016 at the Amsterdam Dance Event[5] and at Berghain in Berlin.[3]
In May 2019, LSD announced the formation of a self-titled record label off-shoot, and the planned release of a six track album, Second Process, on 28 June. The song titles follow on directly after "Process 3", and are numbered "Process 4" to "Process 9". After the tracks were pre-released on SoundCloud, they were described as "melodic and mind-melting techno with surreal atmospheres and propulsive drum-programming."[2]
Notes
↑ The band's title comes from the first letter of each of the member's names, and is a play on the shorthand for Lysergic acid diethylamide. See Eede, Christian (2017)
