LDG011 — Lay Down The Groove — ChordPlay
Lay Down The Groove returns with their first release in four years — and it marks a milestone. ChordPlay is the debut full-length album by the label heads, following their 2021 EP Pursuit of Sound.
Spanning seven tracks, the album captures a period of personal and artistic growth for the duo. Written and recorded across multiple studios and seasons over the past years, it flows effortlessly through tempos and moods while staying rooted in the pair’s emotive, synth-forward identity.
With a shift toward higher BPMs and more club-oriented energy — without losing the warmth and musicality that define the LDG sound — ChordPlay signals a new chapter in the Lay Down The Groove story. Influenced by the rich legacies of Detroit and Chicago, the record features hardware-driven textures shaped by the Juno 6, SH-101, Prophet 8, Analog Rytm and MicroKorg.
Rooted in rhythm and feeling, ChordPlay captures Lay Down The Groove in evolution — looking forward while honouring their foundations.

Lay Down The Groove are happy to present "Alter View Of Basics". Our third vinyl release where we focus on show the new way we see musical and visual concepts for the label.
This time we are honored to collaborate with Click Box, who debuts on the label with a powerful opening track, amazing percussion and dubby chords. Then Max (Italy), who also debuts on the label, delivers "Brain" with a very analog sound and a woozy bassline. On the B side, Juan Rodriguez and Mateo Torres appear once again introducing "Know How", with a sweet melody and inquisitive pads through the track. Finally, "Deli" by the well-known Javier Ferreira (Ninefont) closes the release with an hypnotic groove and big ambience, ideal for late nights.
Pretty soon the pre order will be available in our favorite records store at deejay.de
Thanks for your support!
