LSD live at Movement Detroit

Move­ment is one of North Amer­i­ca’s most icon­ic fes­ti­vals housed in the birth­place of tech­no Michi­gan, Detroit. This year Res­i­dent Advi­sor host­ed the ​“Under­ground Stage” where they invit­ed a wealth of tal­ent from across the globe. A par­tic­u­lar high­light of their pro­gram­ming for the stage was the inclu­sion of tech­no super­group LSD, read more about the group here. 

To bring you quick­ly up to speed, LSD is the com­ing togeth­er of three tech­no vet­er­ans in Luke Slater, Steve Bick­nell and David ​‘Func­tion’ Sum­n­er. As a group, they walk the line between DJing and live per­form­ing while empha­siz­ing the cross-pol­li­na­tion of each member’s style and rhyth­mic sen­si­bil­i­ty. And at this year’s Move­ment, they did exact­ly that. Tun­ing into the one and a half hour record­ing below you will find it only takes them a cou­ple of min­utes to erupt into an all-out tech­no assault. Rac­ing through well above the 130 bpm mark the trio merges freaky synth lines and sequences along­side uncom­pro­mis­ing drum pro­gram­ming as they plunge you into the depths of dance­floor mania.
