His skills behind the decks have also seen him play Pacha (New York), Cielo and Zouk, and perform alongside many of the worlds elite names. As a producer, his singles and remixes have come on a variety of labels, and this year he is already scheduled to release on the fantastic Cecille Records, Soweso and Rebirth.
Today’s 3 track Viva extravaganza opens with the wonderful ‘In Da Factory’. Modern-Chicago could be a new sub genre, and this opening number would lead the way. Old skool sounds and samples are held together with the rolling-glue of today’s house. ‘Lovers’ opens with a wave of percussive excellence. Building with its riffing keys, timpanic bassline and delicate Xylophone, it rolls along brilliantly, rising and falling in a wave of bassbin lovin’.
Closing out the EP is the tribal soundtrack of ‘Negro’. A variety of drums and percussive tools are present, and its bouncing bassline trips things along brilliantly. Its vocal break will build the drama, leading into its drum-heavy drop. A fantastic release and debut for Leon, and one of the most exciting Viva Music releases of the catalogue. More fine work Mr Lawler!! Supported by Loco Dice, Kiki, David K, Dj Hell, Shlomi Aber, Davide Squillace, Gregor Tresher, Robert Dietz, Monika Kruse, Len Faki, Luca Bachetti, Nick Curly, Danny Tenaglia, Luciano, Lauhaus, Ilario Alicante and many more… Huge!
