News - London based imprint Leftroomhas been going strong for five consecutive years now, and celebrates in style with a proper Leftroom compilation. This package is said to be their boldest statement yet, “fusing retro leanings with today’s dynamics while keeping focus on its key values”, whatever that means.
Leftroom was started by Matt Tolfrey back in 2005 and has moved from Berlin minimal to a more UK tech-house orientated style focusing on bouncy, wobbling machine funk. This compilation sums it all up, from the glitchy madness of the early releases to the off centre house that they have been putting out last year while also showing us the direction for the future.
The compilation consists out of 20 tracks including 4 exclusive tracks which are previously unreleased. On the tracklist you’ll find the names Ryan Crosson, Jimmy Edgar, Oscar G, Lazaro Cassanova amongst others. The whole anniversary will be supported by 5 Years of Leftroom tour which stops in Miami, London, San Francisco, Amsterdam and then some. Full details right below!
