Featured Guest
Our guest today is Stockholm’s Lakej (pronounced Lakey).
He’s a recent producer on my radar. I first heard him last year through his remixes for Matt Altman, and Tiefton. His solo EPs Exposed Vulnerability, and this year’s Underlying Mechanisms has meant his tracks haven’t left my record bag since.
Releasing since 2017, initially for Adriana Lopez’s label Grey Report label, before working with Edit Select and Semantica. Where he released his debut album Conditions of Experience in 2021, together with his second A Flawed Belief System later that year. Earlier this year, through Nachtstrom Schallplatten, he released his 3rd album – A Study In Change.
His techno is considered, layered, and heady, as is his session mix today. Keeping the tradition of high grade Swedish techno we’ve come to expect.
