Career
Early years (2010–2012)
Glasgow began making homemade dance edits of pop and hip hop hits during his freshman year of high school. He briefly went by Funky$punk in mid-2010, later adopting the LSDXOXO moniker because "it sounded like an AIM username, […] was super troll-y, and that’s just how [he] approached music as an artist".
In 2010, Glasgow began self-releasing his Spit or Swallow series of mixtapes on Tumblr, which were complied of mashups of popular songs from artists such as Rihanna, Crystal Castles, M.I.A., Lady Gaga, and La Roux. The seven mixtapes have been described as dreamy, hazy, though Glasgow has since described the production as "really crunchy and bad".
Dedicated 2 Disrespect, Delusions of Grandeur, and Dogma (2021–present)
In May 2021, Glasgow released his highly anticipated third EP Dedicated 2 Disrespect through XL Recordings, containing four tracks that presented his own songwriting and vocals rather than music samples as his previous works had featured. The lead single off of the EP received critical acclaim and has been played in several DJ sets since its release. Later in the year, Glasgow also remixed Lady Gaga's "Alice" for her third remix album Dawn of Chromatica, serving as the album's opening track.
Production of Glasgow's debut studio album was announced in 2022, initially said to feature lead single "DRaiN", released April 26, 2022. In June 2022, Glasgow collaborated with fellow Pennsylvanian musician Eartheater on the single "Demons", another possible track on Glasgow's upcoming album. On February 10, 2023, American singer Kelela released her second studio album Raven, which featured five songs produced by Glasgow. He had previously remixed her song "Truth or Dare" in 2018, which appeared on her remix album Take Me a_Part, the Remixes. On September 22, 2023, Glasgow released his fourth extended play Delusions of Grandeur, supported by the electroclash-inspired singles "Double Tap" and "J'adore" and released through Fantasy Audio Group, his new record label.
In May 2024, Glasgow released the single "BLOODLUST", promoted as the lead single for his debut album Dogma, followed by a follow-up single "4LUVN". On June 25, Glasgow announced the official release date of Dogma as September 13, 2024. The album includes featured vocals from Rochelle Jordan and Kelela, both of which Glasgow has produced for in the past.
