On his long-anticipated debut album, Lunice approaches his music from every conceivable angle. The Montreal producer’s full length is titled CCCLX after all, a name that comes directly from a line on Waka Flocka Flame’s Fuck This Industry (“don’t get a 360, that shit ain’t 100” ). It’s a title that can be taken several ways. For one, it connotes Lunice’s total individual control of the project. It also indicates Lunice’s vision of the project as something bigger just music - something encompassing visuals, movement and lifestyle and, on the simplest level, it’s an indication of how this album will make the listener feel: totally immersed and surrounded. For the past four-and-a-half years, while touring both individually and as TNGHT, Lunice has worked on CCCLX in LA, New York, Montreal, London, New Zealand and many places in between. He embraced every unexpected collaboration that presented itself to him, recruiting Kanye West producer Mike Dean for a guitar solo on CCCLX II (Intermission) and cute pop aficionado Sophie and quickfire rapper Le1f to add a surreal edge to Drop Down.
