laced & LCL_StreamCA/QC
Previously performing under aliases such as S. Tease and Lacedetail, Montreal’s Nela Paki now uses the laced
moniker for her current output of progressive, entrancing electronic
patterns. In 2018, she released her first EP titled “Define This Mood”,
providing a blistering surge of industrial power on Toronto's Summer
Isle label. In 2019 she started her label Causal Chain, pushing
elegantly destructive compositions that draw from IDM, techno and
breaks, deeply inspired by the UK bass sound. In 2022, she released two
EPs: “Caustic Reverie” on UK label All Centre, and “oko” (meaning “eye”
in her native language) on her own imprint.
She has performed live
sets alongside artists like E-Saggila, Hiro Kone, Boy Harsher, Jaclyn
Kendall and Minimal Violence, and has DJ’d at parties with Ploy, J.
Albert, Objekt, re:ni and DJ Pitch.
She is part of Saudade, a musical project inspired by industrial dub, ambient and jazz, with harpist Marilou Lyonnais Archambault. For the past 4 years, they have been hosting a monthly show on Montreal web radio n10.as. At the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic, she co-founded the label audio bambino with her partner and close friends while discovering an infinite realm of rave-inspired tracks on the Internet, driven by the need to keep connecting over music while staying in isolation.
