WUD Music Presents: Hyd with LAN Party

Hyd: “All it takes is a flame.” Hyd aka Hayden Dunham unveils their debut LP CLEARING, an album of dynamic, seductive and texturally-rich pop songs that signals a new dialogue of destruction and renewal. CLEARING captures the confluence of agency and surrender. Arranged cyclically over 11 tracks (released on 11/11), Hyd carries us through their elemental states of being: Fire (destruction), Ash (rebuilding), Garden (germination) and Air (emergence). In harnessing elements sonically, visually and conceptually, Hyd builds out a sensory world for their audience to hear, see, feel and breathe in.

LAN Party: LAN Party is a genre-defying artist from Chicago, IL known for his unique style and sound-focused music. He released his EP in 2020, explaining that “Inspiration for this EP began with a mantra I stumbled across looking through old 90’s rave zine, Peace Love Unity Respect (often abbreviated as PLUR) is the code by which all rave kids are expected to live. I admired the simplicity of the sentiment and wanted to apply it to a different musical context, resulting in this project. Four songs, representing each concept and the experiences that have helped me to understand them.” His artistry has awarded him a quickly-increasing 10,000+ listeners on Spotify.
