INTERVIEW + TRACKLIST > www.inverted-audio.com/lakker

Ian McDonnell and Dara Smith are Lakker. They're based in Dublin and have been producing together for the past decade. After releasing their debut album 'Ruido' in 2007 it wasn't until 2011 when they released their follow up record 'Spider Silk' on the Berlin based label Killekill. 'Spider Silk' helped open them up to Berlin's thriving techno scene as well as James Ruskins highly revered Blueprint imprint and Love Love Records.

Following their remix of Dadub's track 'Path'on Stroboscopic Artefacts', Lakker now return to the label with 'Monad XIV' for their first full release on Stroboscopic Artfacts. We caught up with Ian and Dara ahead of the release of 'Monad XIV' and discuss their new record as well as becoming part of the Stroboscopic Artefacts' crew. We also look back at their musical heritage, influences and their most poignant moments to date.
