LA Priest, the idiosyncratic musical project helmed by British musician Sam Dust, is a masterclass in experimental pop and electronic wizardry. Sam Dust, whose real name is Samuel Eastgate, first came into the public eye as the frontman of the late-2000s indie band Late of the Pier. After the band disbanded in 2010, he embarked on his own musical ventures, donning the moniker LA Priest in 2015. Dust's work under this name has continued to push boundaries and blur genre lines, combining elements of funk, psych, electronic, and pop.

LA Priest's discography showcases a penchant for both vibrant eclecticism and sophisticated production. With releases like "It's You" and its accompanying remixes by the likes of CAPYAC and Alan Braxe, listeners are treated to a kaleidoscope of sound that is as danceable as it is thought-provoking. Tracks like "Automatic" and its self-remix, along with "Silent" and "Star," further illustrate LA Priest's skill in crafting infectious rhythms with a playful yet introspective touch. Dust's affinity for collaboration and reinterpretation is also evident through remixes such as "No Love (LA Priest Remix)" and "What Moves (Yuno Remix)," where he applies his unique sonic palette to the work of other artists, offering a new dimension to the original compositions.
