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.
