   About Lakker
LAKKER are Ian McDonnell and Dara Smith who make everything from abstract glitchiness to rampaging gabba using only a couple of laptops, the occasional microphone and their considerable musical smarts. They have been mainstays on the Irish electronic music scene since their inception in 2003. Described in the Journal of Music in Ireland (JMI) as "one of the best electronic acts in Ireland", their output has ranged from electro-acoustic soundscape pieces to mashed-up death-metal-sampling breakcore: a diversity reflected in their releases to date on labels such as Risc Records, Go Away Recordings and the online EP ’Cosas’ with The Alphabet Set. Live, they have played alongside a plethora of acts like Andrew Weatherall, Tim Exile, The Bug, Aaron Spectre, Pamelia Kirstin, Chevron and Cylob, and have made a number of appearances at the DEAF, Mor, Leechrum and Mantua festivals. Their long awaited debut album ’Ruido’ is being released on Lazybird on 5th October. _____________________________________________________ Download the Cosas EP free from www.alphabetset.net .......................................................................... "Lakker bring a dark melodic angular rhymical monster to bear ’pon this release, with the assurance that not one Amen break even got a sniff of what they were up to while buried away creating this beast of ultimately beautiful horror... harrowing church bells, worshipping at the heels of rave; chambers that resonate with classical music during the day are overrun, twisted and turned over to the darkside by night..

ACP025: Tidy Kid - Performance Fragments

The 3rd EP by New York sound development artist, Tidy Kid.

Concept driven sound projects, which urge your views to push through modern trends. It currently sounds a bit like electronica.

This music was taken from Tidy Kid's Performance Fragments DVD, remixed and re-packaged. This project involved an art exhibition and art installation piece by Nick McGavern & Tidy Kid, February 2008, Brisbane, Australia, and was performed only once.

ACP024: RL/VL - Tardypoints

An Ambient/Lo-Fi EP from Belfast's RL/VL. At only 18 years of age he has already amassed a respectable catalogue, with releases on labels such as Hidden Shoal, Sounds Asleep and now Acroplane. You can also expect a more beat driven 2nd release on Acroplane fairly soon, but for now we think that this little ambient workout works as a nice precursor to it.

ACP023: Automatic Tasty - Sine Language

'Automatic Tasty' is the result of one fella's misguided electronic wanderings, and, having only recently been created is still toddling about in relative infancy. Playing to approximately six people at a time in his bedroom he has quickly risen to massive fame, his soulful brand of angst-ridden pop-balladry causing him to come to the attentions of that unflinching bastion of the underground, Mr. Louis Walsh, who posthumously referred to him in a recent interview as being both 'the next big thing' and 'a bleedin' feek'. He likes his favorite colour, enjoys speaking about himself in the third person and is co-editor of 'taxidermy weekly' as well as being the brains behind their aggressive advertising campaign and witty slogan - 'get stuffed'. ‘Sine Language’, his debut seven track E.P., is presented here for your listening pleasure, re-mastered with precision & care from the original wax cylinders, & now available in high audio fidelity.

Their debut Acroplane EP is a selection of ambient Ruido remixes that they have been working on for some time.

ACP021: Wahn - Alt.Binaries ep

A Google German translation of 'Wahn' would say "delusion/insanity, something that seems to refer to psychiatric troubles", although Wahn does not have any mental illness (yet).

Although he is French, Germany has definitely had an influence on his sound, Sven Vath and Carsten Jancker especially...errrrrr, well they would maybe have had some if he had continued to listen to Hardfloor while smoking and drinking... In truth, Wahn prefers the Funkstorung way with Thomas Häßler's dexterity. And beer too OK. His first release on Acroplane, 'Alt.Binaries', is a 7 track EP featuring 3 tracks taken from his 1st LP 'Str.ct.r.s' (Nov 2007) plus 4 unreleased ones.
