Lido / luhx.

Three years ago, the name ‘Lido’ was something of a mystery. People were left guessing where these hyperactive, neon-colored productions they kept hearing were coming from, that blended bouncy hip-hop with earworm hooks. The man behind the music has since surfaced: 23-year-old Norwegian Peder Losnegård, a producer with an insatiable appetite for beat-making and a unique take on the interplay between genres.

In the past year and a half, Lido has embarked on a sold-out U.S. tour, produced for Chance the Rapper and A$AP Mob, while also executive producing Halsey’s Badlands. More recently, Kanye’s The Life of Pablo inspired him to chuck the album into a blender for an eight-minute reimagining: the Life of Peder, hitting 1 million streams in less than 24 hours.

Lido isn’t one of the crop of EDM producers who just press play on stage. Performing live, Lido flits from drums to keys, sometimes even backed by an orchestra and compelling visual arrangements.

This is an individual who doesn’t do anything by halves — and for that reason it’s clear that 2016 is going to be the most exciting yet in the life of Peder.
