“I want the industry people to be confused while the ravers understand the very moment they press play. I want to challenge everyone to name it.”
Daria Lourd
Breaks and love, love and breaks. Press play, close your eyes, and let your limbs savor the movement that flows from Name It, the latest full-length album by Bored Lord (aka DJ Daria aka Daria Lourd). No longer a secret, Bored Lord is one of the most acclaimed producers and DJs from the Bay Area underground.
Out now on T4T LUV NRG (the New Hampshire label created by love-and-music partners Eris Drew and Octo Octa), Name It highlights Daria’s pitch-perfect mixing style and joyous use of samples—Is that hysterical flamboyant laughing on “Believe” taken from the 1982 Larry Levan production “Don’t Make Me Wait” by the Peech Boys? Maybe, maybe not. But the exploration and experimentation that Daria plays with through her music and community refracts itself through the beats, channeling a freedom of expression to the listener. There is more to life than suffering, especially when we embrace “prismatic movement in unison with others.”
