Description
Lakker are two musicians, Dara Smith and Ian McDonnell (aka Eomac), hailing from Dublin, Ireland. Formed in 2001, they began writing electronic music, heavily influenced by the sounds at the time coming from labels like Rephlex and Warp. Processed and chopped up electronica, noise, breakcore, techno and jungle all filtered through and informed Lakker’s early music. Gradually they began to find a sound of their own, sitting somewhere between organic sample-based productions and synthetic, processed electronics.
Early tracks appeared on compilations for various labels, alongside a number of EPs, but it wasn’t until 2007 that Lakker put out their debut album – Ruido – on Lazybird Records, Dublin. Ruidofocused on the noisier side of their output containing 11 tracks of harsh electronics, beats and noise. A number of releases and remixes followed, alongside numerous live appearances.
