LSDJ is an electronic/trip hop artist from Portland, OR. He has released 2 albums (Reflections in 2005 & Trip The Anarchy in 2006) on his own Purple Sky Records label.
Borrowing equally from the worlds of jazz, techno, hip hop & rock, LSDJ is a cut chemist of musical ideas that evoke dark, film noir settings. Equally at ease with the blissful aspects of music, LSDJ's style can take a 180-degree turn in an instant. Through his use of technology to form usually sparse (though occasionally lush) soundscapes, his music defies the current trend towards all-electronic bleeps & bloops. LSDJ prefers the natural.
His influences range from DJ Shadow to James Brown; Bach to Chicago; the Beatles to Grandaddy. It may be worth noting that LSDJ's songwriting speed may vary dramatically; he finished some of his songs in only 3 days, while other took up to five years, as was the case in some of the songs on Reflections.
