TLM028: Jamie Kidd – Lascivious Prey
with Eric Downer, Deepak Sharma & Dieter Krause, Jonny White, and Meesha remixes
Over the past few years, Jamie Kidd has emerged as Toronto's go-to techno DJ. When he's not performing live as one half of Metalogic or playing bass guitar in a number of local outfits, he can reliably be found warming up for the hottest acts in the world at his Platform residency. With a handful of tracks and remixes under his belt, Thoughtless is pleased to present Jamie's debut solo EP on the label. Combining his penchant for propulsive rhythms with a colorful musicality, 'Triptych' glides through melodic movements with its low slung attitude at the fore. Highlighting his live bass work, 'Lascivious Prey' focuses on the percussive end of the spectrum, punctuating its strategic turnarounds with analog flair. Four up-and-coming producers contribute their talent with diverse interpretations of 'Triptych': Thoughtless mainstay Eric Downer flips it into a jaunty minimal house affair, Hidden Recording's Deepak Sharma & Dieter Krause rebuild it as a defiant tech-house juggernaut, No. 19's Jonny White twists it into a cinematic space disco excursion, and Meesha dissipates its core elements into a haunting atmosphere with his adept two-step dub. Kidd's lascivious intent lurks between the notes throughout, carefully calculated to lure his prey right where he wants them: directly in front of the sound system...
