He was later approached by Robin Carolan to release a full album through his UK/US label Tri Angle, which resulted in Runge gathering tracks mainly created during 2011 to 2012 to form his 2014 debut album That's Harakiri. This release gained him a wider audience including reviews from Pitchfork, Resident Advisor, and The Quietus. This album covered many different genres, but was described variously as experimental grime and bass music.[3][4][5][6] Dummy magazine named it their album of the week.[7] In a rare interview later that year, highly influential electronic producer Aphex Twin named SD Laika as one of the newer artists he listened to most.[8]

His work was sampled by Aphex Twin on his tour in 2017,[9] by Björk in her November 2017 mix for Mixmag,[10] and by Manchester producer Acre in his mix for Fact in January 2018.[11]

gollark: I don't think you could do so without extremely hacky fiddling.
