A Techno-Pop Ode to LSDXOXO’s Sugar Daddy from Way Down Below
“LSDXOXO is a globetrotter, taking pieces of European dance scenes, American house staples and African elements, amongst a slew of other influences, to create some of the most compelling dance music of the past decade” – Paste Magazine
Today Philly-born, NYC-bred and Berlin-based DJ, producer and performer LSDXOXO returns to share “The Devil,” the first track off his forthcoming EP DEDICATED 2 DISRESPECT out May 14th on XL Recordings. The second offering from LSDXOXO is a world of darkness and opulence. “I make a deal with the devil/sell my soul and my body/but I look fucking good/whipping in my Maserati,” sings LSDXOXO, over a crunchy and addictive pop-infused techno production. “The Devil” is LSDXOXO to the core; a mixture of light and dark and a hard party anthem inspired by Black nostalgia.

Earlier this month LSDXOXO released his much anticipated new single “SICK BITCH,” to dazzling reviews. With FADER declaring it “a techno-pop banger,” and Pitchfork, in a review of the track, stating, “”Sick Bitch” belongs on every sweat-soaked dancefloor come summer,” LSDXOXO enters his own visual piece into Black History with a stunning music video that perfectly emulates his vision: the fine line between feeling sexy and feeling messy; a quintessential rave modality. But, as them. also put it, “Sick Bitch” is a statement of self-ownership through the embrace of queer sexuality and kink.”
“The Devil” and “SICK BITCH” are singular displays of LSD’s deliciously eclectic brand of pop techno. They beautifully capture a unique sense of humour coupled with a sex-positive narrative that surrounds all of LSDXOXO’s work. DEDICATED 2 DISRESPECT is LSD’s first EP with both original compositions and vocals; the follow-up to his 2020 mixtape Waiting 2 Exhale. The four-song project is packed full of rich lyrics, sensations and productions, delivering an illustrious portrait and narrative of the intersections between rave, techno, house, gender, camp, sexuality and race. It’s a project that oscillates between the politics and the party so effortlessly bold and unapologetic.
LSDXOXO is an artist from Philadelphia who made a name for himself in New York City as a DJ and producer, quickly becoming an essential figure at GHE20GOTH1K. He is known for destroying dance floors across the underground club scene with his energetic DJ sets, amassing attention for the way that he manipulates mainstream sounds by craftily layering pop tracks and vocal samples between Baltimore club, ghetto house, hardcore, electro and techno. He’s also flourished in his production work, having recently been tapped by SHYGIRL and VTSS for a remix and collaborative single. Now residing in Berlin and running his own club night Floorgasm, LSDXOXO is synonymous with the new wave of techno artists reclaiming Black queer spaces and injecting some much-needed fun and camp into the genre.
