Tour Essentials: Lido
Norwegian producer Lido filled us in on his top five tour essentials, making his time on the road as enjoyable and comfortable as possible.
Let's be honest, is there anything LIDO can't do? This year has seen incredible things from the Norwegian producer, resulting in him becoming one of the most talked about worldwide. For good reason, we say!
From the release of his four-track 'I Love You' EP via Pelican Fly earlier this year, to a string of remixes that took the world by a storm, LIDO has clearly proven that he is not short on talent. Having remixed tracks from some of the best in the business, including the likes of Cashmere Cat, Zhu, Banks, and more recently Flight Facilities and Alt-J, LIDO has demonstrated his versatility and has definitely set the production bar high.
Soon to embark on an Australian tour, LIDO has been kind enough to fill us in on all his go-to tour essentials, making his time on the road that much more comfortable. Check out his top five picks!

"Being on tour is the struggle of boredom, exhaustion/illness, upholding deadlines while travelling, and trying to look cool on top of all this. Therefore these are my tour essentials."
1. Black Sweatpants
"The perfect pants for cozy-boy-swag on the tour bus. Also great for comfy performance if you're feeling a bit under the weather."
2. Bose Headphones
"For that noise-cancelling escape from the world of tour madness. I love and know these headphones in and out, so I can mix projects fairly well on them if something needs to be completed while on the road."
3. Nintendo 3DS
"When all other batteries are dead or you can't stand your own music anymore, this is the best break a boy can take. Important to stack up on enough Pokemon, Zelda and Mario."
4. QuNexus by Keith McMillen
"The sturdiest midi-keyboard ever. Also ultra thin, so absolutely perfect for traveling. Even lights up in a cool way when played, for that futuristic music inspiration."
5. Nike Roshe Run
"AKA Nike Rogers (named after Hoodboi<3). Pretty much same description as the black sweatpants. Super light and comfy, plus cool."
