CHROMATIC: LWS

"For this month's party we have invited our good pal LWS! LWS is a Scottish DJ and music producer based in Edinburgh," say the Chromatic crew. "From showing a deep interest in electronic music from his early teens, he first gained recognition in 2021 for his acclaimed releases on Glasgow labels Redstone Press and TDSR. His output draws on his numerous influences throughout the broader techno sphere, from Bjarki to Ricardo Villalobos, whilst always paying homage to the lineage of UK sound-system culture on which he was raised.  In 2024, LWS released the ‘Palloon EP’ on Call Super and Parris’ ‘can you feel the sun’ imprint, which showed the young artist’s unique signature sound on full display for the first time. Shortly after, the track ‘Gum Seleks’ was featured on the esteemed Tra

Trax compilation series ‘no pare, sigue sigue’. Described as the track that grabbed the title for ‘most impressive synth line of 2024’, it was present on both Mixmag and The Quietus’ ‘best electronic music of 2024’ lists.  2025 saw LWS return to ‘can you feel the sun’ with the ‘All Of The Chaos’ EP - a record which further cemented his now singular sound, blending the weird with the functional, and his innate skill for tension building with the impacts to match. The beginning of 2026 saw Tra

Trax release a full length record from LWS entitled ‘Gubbins’. Described as sounding “like a freewheeling collaboration between Matías Aguayo and “Spastik”-era Richie Hawtin”, the record took a more club-ready approach than his previous endeavours, but to no less effect, garnering widespread support across the circuit and becoming a staple of club and festival sets far and wide.
