Community and connection are at the core of everything Daria Lourd – aka Bored Lord – does.
Coming up in the Oakland underground scene, under her Bored Lord alias the DJ and producer has found her rhythm with emotive and melodic sample-heavy sounds that draw on UK hardcore and US bass music.

Lourd has also just released Name It! – her new album for T4T LUV NRG – which sees her lean less into familiar pop samples and dig deeper into her production skills and her record collection. This is what she explores with this mix, showcasing “the span of producers” that most inspired her when she was writing Name It!
