On BEATS: Lukid Vodka and tonic. Pryor and Wilder. T-Pain and everyone. Collaboration rules. With that in mind our pals at Stussy have joined forces with Turntable Lab to curate and create a special album called BEATS that highlights today’s brightest young beatmakers. You can listen to the album and admire the limited edition boxset here and get your hands on a copy from 31/05. To celebrate its release we spoke to some of the producers involved, starting with North London boy Lukid, who gave us this peek at his forthcoming album, Foma. Lukid - Veto [mp3] Lukid on…Making BEATS I make music on my computer. I use Cubase, various soft synths and plug ins, a midi keyboard that’s on its last legs, and occasionally some real instruments (shock horror). Lukid on… Favourite BEATS Ooh, tough one. I think Momma by Dudley Perkins (produced by Madlib) would have to be up there. Madlib gets so much dust and grime into his beats that he creates a kind of nostalgia that for me no one else can quite do. I could listen to that Momma beat on loop for hours. That’s always the true test of a beat, if you can keep someone’s interest with one repeating loop for more than a couple of minutes you're onto something. Lukid on… Giving BEATS I'm a lover, not a fighter. See Lukid live at the Werk Discs showcase night at Plastic People on 13/6. Posted by: Scott 27/05/08
