On the 27th of February LMD are back @ TB/R to kick start their 2010 residency. Welcoming artists Baby Ford, Bruno Pronsato & label founder Shaun Soomro.
Peter Ford, better known as Baby Ford, is a British pioneer in electronic music, known particularly for his contributions to the birth of acid house. His early work was released on the Rhythm King label, tracks like "Oochy Koochy", and "Chikki Chikki Ahh Ahh" and the massive global hit "Children Of The Revolution". The BFORD9 LP in 1992 revealed a different side of Peter's electronic influences. The release incorporated minimal techno with trance-like elements, long before these genres became popular later in the decade. Pop-vocal elements were not as prevalent on BFORD9 but the release is considered by many of his fans to be one of his greatest musical achievements. Peter also opened for Depeche Mode on their US Violater Tour.
Bruno Pronsato is one of techno’s most intriguing artists. Bruno’s live performance—an unusually nimble and improvisatory act—began receiving praise from XLR8R, The Wire, and dozens of underground European zines. It also piqued the interest of Ricardo Villalobos and Perlon boss Zip, who invited Bruno to play in their laptop super-group, Narod Nikki. Bruno’s real breakthrough came in 2007 when he released Why Can’t We Be Like Us, a strange and beautiful album that received a “5/5” from Resident Advisor and endless accolades throughout the blogosphere. This secured Bruno’s position as one of techno’s most imaginative and virtuosic artists. In 2009, Bruno started his own label, thesongsays. It was partly a matter of necessity; he needed an imprint for his most ambitious work yet, a 38-minute epic called The Make Up The Break Up, so he decided to simply release it himself. Possibly his best work to date, The Make Up The Break Up received a deluge of praise upon its release, revealing Bruno for who he truly is: a post-punk inspired techno artist that loves staying up all night, sipping whiskey with his pinky crooked.
Shaun’s involvement in music started at an early age as a DJ on London’s vibrant underground radio scene, his weekly Saturday show on Rude Fm enabled him to showcase his talent to a wide audience pushing him to play at some of the hottest clubs in London like the famous Ministry Of Sound, The End & Plastic People. With a background that encompassed working at a Major & Indie label and in vinyl distribution he decided to take his experiences and use the tools that he had gained to create something special. He set up Lick My Deck in the summer of 2007 a label that focuses on releasing intelligent and provocative electronic music. Working with some of the most respected producers in the scene the label has gone from strength to strength is set to go further.
