The three producers had worked together at various points over the previous 25 years; Slater and Bicknell remixed various of each others tracks during the early 1990s, Bicknell and Sumner had performed live together,[3] while Sumner appears on a 2015 release from Slater's 'LB Dub Corp' project.[4] The EP was preceded by live concerts in 2016 at the Amsterdam Dance Event[5] and at Berghain in Berlin.[3]
"Process" was released as a 12 inch on 17 November 2017[6] by the German label, Ostgut Ton,[7] with sleeve art-work by Brazilian-born New York-based artist Eli Sudbrack, aka Assume Vivid Astro Focus.[6]

Follow up
In May 2019, LSD announced the formation of a self-titled record label off-shoot, and the planned release of a six track album, Second Process, on 28 June. The song titles follow on directly after "Process 3", and are numbered "Process 4" to "Process 9". After the tracks were pre-released on SoundCloud, they were described as "melodic and mind-melting techno with surreal atmospheres and propulsive drum-programming."[2]
