'From the Toolkit Of Lovers' is the latest from Brian Leeds, known publicly under several monikers: Huerco S., Pendant, and Loidis - a play on his own surname. Recorded over the summer of 2025, Leeds expounds upon the sound of 'One Day' in a 110-minute meditation on life, love and dub. He re-presents the toolkit he has accumulated over the last fifteen years, tearing into a profound exploration of the Loidis sound, wherein past and present form an iterative conversation and words are meaningless. The twelve tracks here are expansive by design, built with a soft touch. They are extended versions for the discerning deejay, unhurried in scope, leaving plenty of room for the long blend. Ergo, our understanding of Leeds' music continues to evolve and shift. Superlatives continue to fail. "Micro-house", "minimal", "dub techno", "ambient"; these are all just ways to compress presence. Each layer of sound obscures what you see. Each play reveals what was already there. Speakers push the air and gesture toward something so simple: that love is the source, life is the course. Operating from the toolkit of lovers, that really is on everything.
