"Using an Analog Rytm saturator and a few choice plug-ins, Luke Fenton approaches sung snippets like wet clay, endlessly moldable with a little osmosis. As he put it in an interview last year, he aims to 'glue everything together and fuck everything up.'"
"Lusher than 2021's Sd-1 and more wandering than 2024's Sd-3 plays like an unlabeled CD-R salvaged from a garage sale, personalized by the preferences of its maker and the patina of time."
"He may prefer his vocal tracks yassified to maintain anonymity, but on Sd-3, Fenton keeps his influences pinned to his chest like badges."
Loukeman, a Toronto-based producer, utilizes pitch-shifted vocal samples to create anemoic dance tracks that draw from various genres. His new album, Sd-3, concludes a trilogy and showcases his ability to mold sounds like wet clay. The album features a diverse range of influences, maintaining a personal touch while exploring genre intersections. Tracks like 'Manifester' and 'John Bird Song' highlight his innovative approach, blending elements of different musical styles while keeping his influences subtle yet impactful.
