Tomorrow, June 12 2014 marks two great things. First is the opening of the World Cup. Second is LeFtO‘s debut show in Jakarta at Bau-Haus in Kuningan! The cool cats at Ashram* have been kind enough to ask us to join in the fun and yours truly will be laying down some jazz and samba-funk foundations before the real thing kicks off.

As I’ve been lucky enough to see a few of LeFtO’s performances back in Europe, I can’t recommend this guy enough. So make sure you come in early to join in the fun.

So in the meantime, here’s a Jakarta-exclusive mix he did!

LEFTO (Brownswood) 

Described by Fact! Magazine “your favourite dj’s favourite dj”, affiliated with Brownswood Recordings, Blue Note, !K7 Records, and one the most important tastemakers Europe has to offer. This bearded early riser is consistently a couple steps ahead of your average early adopter. He doesn’t wait for the next thing to land on his lap, he actively seeks it out, therefore just take a peek at one of his 580 shows on Belgium’s foremost national radio station Studio Brussel which received compliments from Rough Trade Shops, Gilles Peterson and featured on MTV Hive. 
However, don’t assume that he’s only working futuristic angles – no sir. Firmly rooted in jazz and hip hop, he sharpened his digging sensibility working at the now legendary Music Mania record store in hometown Brussels. 

His passion for jazz resulted in a remix album for Blue Note which was well received by the community and a mix for the famous Ninja Tune Solid Steel series. 

LeFtO is forever moving forwards but always got an ear in the past. Famed for his gloriously eclectic dj sets, he switches effortlessly between genres. He’s not only a deejay and producer but also curates his own stage at the Dour Festival and his own nights in the Belgian city of Gent. World renowned, LeFtO regularly blesses sound systems from Tokyo to Seoul , Singapore to Manila, Kazakhstan to Germany, San Francisco and Los Angeles.
With residencies in Amsterdam, Paris and New York, the man is unstoppable.. 

The travel resulted in a compilation on Gilles Peterson’s Brownswood Recordings with DJ Simbad, a compilation for Universal Music, a couple releases in collaboration with Los Angeles based label 101 Apparel, and his latest compilation for BBE/Southport Weekender.
