Consisting of Ian McDonnell (aka Eomac) and Dara Smith (aka Arad), they have gained recognition for their releases on renowned labels such as R&S Records, Stroboscopic Artefact, and Blueprint.

The duo's relocation to Berlin has further fueled their creativity, allowing them to tap into the vibrant electronic music scene that thrives in the city.

Their releases on esteemed record labels have garnered critical acclaim and solidified their position as trailblazers within the genre. Drawing inspiration from various sources, including techno, ambient, and industrial sounds, Lakker crafts immersive compositions that captivate listeners with their intricate layers and mesmerizing rhythms.

Lakker's album, Época. Available Here on Standard Vinyl.

Lakker return to R&amp;S with their stunning new album; Época. Following 2016’s conceptual 8 track maxi-EP “Struggle and Emerge” (using field recordings of TV and radio broadcasts from the Dutch National AV archive) Época is a bracing return to form, combining caustic electronics with fresh inspiration from the prepared piano of John Cage, plaintive folk melodies, the explorative label Sublime Frequencies and the raw rhythms of Kampala's Nyege Nyege Tapes.
