Lido Crazy

Lido Crazy

Lido's epic new single -Crazy' is available now through Pelican Fly/Because Music and Sony Music Entertainment Australia. He has unveiled the incredible video, which resembles a futuristic film where Lido, surrounded by machines, plays the role of a conductor. He conducts a mesmerising musical lightshow where his musicians are transformed into light and space becomes a sonic intersection where musical and luminous waves combine in harmony.

'-Crazy' is exactly the first impression that I wanted to give people of my album. It's big and complex but honest and emotional. I wanted to combine all the compelling elements from RnB with the massive power of electronic music.

I think that is me in a nutshell."

-Lido-

Lido, aka Peder Losnegård, is 23 years old and hyperactive. This composer, producer, multi-instrumentalist and drummer since the age of two made a name for himself by posting remixes on SoundCloud (Justin Timberlake, AlunaGeorge, Alt-J, Flight Facilities, Zhu, Mø, Para One and Bill Withers amongst others). Some of them have become classics – Lido has notably remixed -Often' by The Weeknd and -Latch' by Disclosure which he did without permission and created a tsunami in the world of EDM, making him known to Skrillex and Diplo who have been singing the Norwegian artist's praises ever since.

His latest release to date, -The Life of Peder', a tribute to Kanye West and his album THE LIFE OF PEDRO, made an incredible amount of noise. Relayed in less than 24 hours across the planet, Lido's version of the album which he made available for free streaming on his website, was listened to 500,000 times in one day.

A multitalented artist, musician, producer (for Alt-J, Banks, Chance the Rappers, Cashmere Cat or Halsey), he released his first lauded EP in 2014, I Love You Too, and did a victory lap with two sold-out American tours.

Lido developed his love of the stage very early on, playing in the church orchestra where his father was a pastor. His early experiences made him hungry for experiments, performing in unexpected conditions, as with the Norwegian KORK Orchestra. His childhood in the church left him with a love of musical orchestration, arrangements and staging.

Now with -Crazy', Lido presents a forward-facing track where samples serve the organic melody of the vocals, where the orchestra, masterfully managed by Lido, is made exclusively of machines, loops and sounds combined to produce a unique blend of exotic atmosphere and electronic surges. Synthetic bass-charged music, cascading arpeggios and electric rhythms with hip-hop and gospel influences, the future is called Lido.

LIDO will be playing exclusive shows at Coachella on April 15^th and 22^nd in addition to his tour dates in the US and Europe, check them out here.
