L\/F\/D\/M is London-based producer Richard Smith. L\/F\/D\/M first emerged in 2013, inaugurating the Optimo Trax series with the Purple Maps EP. In 2014, he teamed up with Factory Floor's Dominic Butler to release two EPs of hardware-driven atonal techno on Powell's Diagonal Records. M Is a Shape bristles with cloudy, industrial, stripped-down acid\/techno, landing somewhere between Berghain, the warehouse sound of the late '90s and the caustic spirit of EBM. Richard Smith: \"The title comes from a time when I was producing all these collages, abstracting a theme, trying to get it down to the perfect motif, the perfect shape that summed up exactly what I'm trying to get across and then just when I got there, I kinda stepped back and was like; oh it's just a fucking M! The same M that if I had looked at it a month before I would have perhaps only saw the letter and not the shape, that always interested me; the starting point at where you come to an image, one day something can just really catch you off-guard.\"\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTracks:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e1.1 Untitled (Opening Scene) \u003cbr\u003e1.2 Drifting Pyramid \u003cbr\u003e1.3 Insect Cylinders \u003cbr\u003e1.4 New X \u003cbr\u003e1.5 Sun Shape \u003cbr\u003e1.6 Book of Five \u003cbr\u003e1.7 Black Shadows \u003cbr\u003e1.8 No Cure \u003cbr\u003e1.9 Tape Tension Pt. 1 \u003cbr\u003e1.10 2040\/0305\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAudio Sample:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n                                           \u003ci\u003eAll soundclips are provided by Tidal and are for illustrative purposes only.
