Peter Runge (died 2023), known by his recording alias Sd Laika, was an American electronic recording artist. His only studio album, That's Harakiri, was released in 2014 through Tri Angle.[1]
Biography
[edit | edit source]Peter Runge was originally from Milwaukee, Wisconsin.[1] He attended Wauwatosa East High School in Wauwatosa, Wisconsin and Oberlin College in Oberlin, Ohio.[2]
He had previously recorded and performed music under various monikers, such as Birth-Days and Trail Magic.[3][2]
He released his first work, the Unknown Vectors EP in 2012 via Lost Codes. This was the first release for the London-based label founded by grime producer Visionist.[4][5]
He was later approached by Robin Carolan to release a full album through his UK/US label Tri Angle, which resulted in Runge gathering tracks mainly created during 2011 to 2012 to form his 2014 debut album That's Harakiri. This release gained him a wider audience including reviews from Pitchfork, Resident Advisor, and The Quietus. This album covered many different genres, but was described variously as experimental grime and bass music.[6][7][8][9] Dummy magazine named it their album of the week.[10] In a rare interview later that year, highly influential electronic producer Aphex Twin named Sd Laika as one of the newer artists he listened to most.[11]
His work was sampled by Aphex Twin on his tour in 2017,[12] by Björk in her November 2017 mix for Mixmag,[13] and by Manchester producer Acre in his mix for Fact in January 2018.[14]
In July 2024, it was confirmed that Runge had died in 2023. No explanation for his death was given.[15]
