LEFTO (Brüssel) - Futurebeats, Jazz, HipHop

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.  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.  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.  This year he will finally release his beat LP on Record Store Day and more compilations for majors are in the pipeline.  You can’t sleep with the Lefto!
