Out today, October 24, the Flesh EP from LUCRE drops through Sound Market, his self-run label that’s become central to his output. Since entering the electronic fold in 2020, this US producer and DJ has carved out a path defined by straight-ahead techno grit, letting releases such as ‘Want To,’ ‘Breathe,’ and ‘She Was There He Was There’ showcase his growing command of rhythm and texture. It’s all about that core mix of purpose and persistence, turning each project into a step toward owning his spot in the genre without compromise.
The EP’s four tracks form a compact unit, driven by pounding lows and rhythms that pull you in deep, all wrapped in a haze of atmosphere that holds the energy steady. ‘Flesh’ sets the tone right away: a relentless beat anchors the industrial rhythm, while brooding synths set the darker tone through dystopian sounding textures. ‘Cartilage’ and ‘Muscle’ double down on the intensity of the synth layers, delivering gritty leads to give the EP its abrasive feel. Closing out, ‘Skin’ stretches into more expansive spaces, fusing low growls with clanging details and motifs that linger like impending omens.
With Flesh, LUCRE leans harder into techno’s underbelly, marking a pivot towards his maturing sound. Grab it on streaming services today to witness the shift, and keep tabs via his social channels for the road ahead.
