laced is the project of Montreal-based artist Nela Paki, whose music ventures into the imaginary, the subconscious, and inner worlds. Her sound merges IDM-inspired rhythms with spectral atmospheres, weaving entrancing beats that are at once heady and intimate. Drawing from dreams and fantasy, she creates music that feels suspended between reality and reverie - a space where emotion and abstraction meet.
In 2020, she founded the experimental label Causal Chain, dedicated to boundary-pushing electronic and ambient works from Montreal and beyond. Her 2022 EPs - Caustic Reverie (UK label All Centre) and oko (on her own imprint, titled after the word “eye” in her native language) - expanded her sonic palette, combining intricate rhythmic structures with delicate, otherworldly textures.
Alongside her solo work, she is also part of ebb (ex. Saudade), a collaboration with visual artist and harpist Marilou Lyonnais Archambault. Together, they craft abstract and contemplative compositions drawing on the dreamlike dimension of sound to explore themes of mirage, memory, and absence.
