Lukid announces EP on Liberation Technologies, shares video of worst party ever

London producer Lukid released one of my favorite records of 2012, Lonely at the Top, which sounds like hip-hop and techno that got rained on in a gutter, but in the best way. Later this month, Mute offshoot Liberation Technologies will be releasing Lukid’s latest EP, Crawlers. Debuting in digital format with a vinyl release to be announced in the future, Crawlers continues the tape-driven, bizarre dance slabs first explored on Lonely at the Top, but perhaps with a more functional approach.

In advance of the new EP, the UK musician has shared a stroboscopic video for opening cut “Nine,” which shows colors flashing onto various angles of an empty, 3D-rendered building. Then the colors morph into increasingly surreal visuals, and we have a really bad trip. “Nine” has a similar sonic quality to Lukid’s past work, but seems crafted for a warehouse techno party, with a kick drum that bathes most of the mix in warm distortion. Fun fact: Evian Christ sampled “Nine“‘s synths for his own song, “Propeller,” from this year’s Waterfall EP. Lukid, you better be getting a lil’ taste of that Kanye money… Crawlers is out on September 29 — watch “Nine” below and imagine you’re the Dancing Guy, dancing away at a party of one.

Crawlers tracklist:

01. Nine
02. La Cucaracha
03. The Brick Burner
04. Born in Bosnia
