“You can’t sleep on Lefto! He’s always on it…” – Gilles Peterson
“There are few moments as fun as Lefto Early Bird firing off all cylinders…” – Boiler Room
Renowned DJ and radio personality Lefto Early Bird is back with his serene new track ‘I Sing To Find Peace of Mind’, out on 12th January.
‘I Sing To Find Peace of Mind’ is a future-faring journey through uptempo jazz, combining silky bass with harmonic vocals and gorgeous piano to sublime effect. Topped off with saxophone flourishes from friend, DJ and multi-instrumentalist Simbad, Lefto has conjured a masterful arrangement with this latest release.
Like many of his generation, Lefto has gained a global following because of his radio shows. Broadcasting on the likes of Kiosk Radio, The Lot Radio and the late Worldwide FM from his base in Brussels and several shows on NTS, he’s become an international beacon of good taste whether dropping jazz, electronica, techno and house or hip hop.
Appearing as a special guest on live shows from Robert Glasper, Thundercat and touring with Badbadnotgood just to name a few, he’s been praised for being consistently ahead, devoted to the future of music, not waiting for the next thing — he seeks it out.
No wonder he is affiliated to many international labels like Brownswood Recordings, Ninja Tune, R&S Records, Boiler Room and Red Bull Music. Lefto’s biggest personal achievement is a remix album for Blue Note, but he also released productions on International Anthem, Heavenly Sweetness, Bastard Jazz Records, has a Serato record, and curated compilations for Gilles Peterson, Universal, BBE and SDBAN.
Famed for taking his crowd on a journey from Jazz to anything he likes, and blessing sound systems around the globe with regular nights in Japan, South-Korea, USA and Europe, he also curates his own nights in Belgium, is a resident at Horst Festival and hosts a stage at one of Belgium’s biggest festivals, Dour Festival.
