LSD is a techno supergroup consisting of three heavyweights in the electronic scene: Luke Slater, Steve Bicknell, and David Sumner (Function). Formed in 2017, the trio represents a convergence of UK and US techno lineages, blending Slater's experimentalism, Bicknell's raw minimalism, and Function's atmospheric precision.
Their sound is characterized by a 'Process' based approach, often recorded from live hardware jams that emphasize the psychedelic and hypnotic potential of the genre. Critically, they are viewed as a return to the 'pure' form of techno, eschewing modern trends for a timeless, hardware-centric aesthetic. Their discography, primarily released on Ostgut Ton, has become a benchmark for contemporary modular techno, influencing a new generation of producers to look back at the industrial and minimalist roots of the 1990s while utilizing modern sequencing capabilities.
