Over the past few years, Jamie Kidd has emerged as Toronto's go-to techno DJ. When he's not performing live as one half of Metalogic or playing bass guitar in a number of local outfits, he can reliably be found warming up for the hottest acts in the world at his Platform residency. With a handful of tracks and remixes under his belt, Thoughtless is pleased to present Jamie's debut solo EP on the label.

Highlighting his live bass work, 'Lascivious Prey' focuses on the percussive end of the spectrum, punctuating its strategic turnarounds with analog flair.
