Red D / Lefto Early Bird

Just Raving To Fu_k You

Split release from Red D and Lefto Early Bird following their collaborative work on Red D's debut LP "Fantasize Then Realize". 

Side A sees Red D provide a gliding, UKG informed deep house cut - "Just Raving". Built around a primitive two-step rhythm and with a interesting, dynamic arrangement that moves between piano-driven sugar rushes, and deep sub bass worship, it's a track precision engineered to rock dancefloors.

On side B, Lefto Early Bird conjures up a deranged mutant-vogue cut which stomps to its own freaky rhythm and contains an equally manic vocal to twist heads and cause bodies to gyrate uncontrollably late on into the session. 


STAFF COMMENTS

Matt says: Late night club revelry that'll have you clammering for a big night out. You can almost taste the smoke machine fluid on this one.

Brownswood Remix Editions 003

    Following two acclaimed releases, Brownswood Recordings returns with the third instalment of its Remix Editions series, featuring a pair of fresh reinterpretations from celebrated producers Danalogue and Iman Houssein. Each brings a unique sonic perspective to tracks from Lefto Early Bird’s 2024 album, Motherless Father, an album deeply rooted in explorations of jazz, soul, and electronic textures.

    This limited-edition 12”—with only 300 copies pressed and no plans for reissues or represses—captures the spirit of these artists’ distinct approaches, crafted to move dancefloors while echoing the experimental flair that defines Brownswood’s Remix Editions series. Once they’re gone, they’re gone.

    Side A: Diane Charlemagne (Iman Houssein Remix) Iman Houssein’s rework of Diane Charlemagne honours the track’s inspiration while introducing a captivating, hypnotic pulse. Originally a tribute to the late Diane Charlemagne—the voice behind Goldie’s iconic Inner City Life—this remix brings forward her legendary vocal hook, amplifying its emotional power. Houssein’s remix infuses Lefto’s tribute with a meditative vibe, using a sparse arrangement filled with richly layered details that invites listeners to explore new depths in each listen.

    Side B: Love Supreme (Danalogue Remix) On the flipside, Danalogue, celebrated for his work with The Comet Is Coming, injects a cosmic pulse into Love Supreme. With his signature mix of analog synths and boundless energy, Danalogue propels the track into an expansive, dance-ready rework that’s equal parts hypnotic and visceral. Building from the original’s jazzy essence, he overlays rich basslines and syncopated rhythms, transforming Love Supreme into a fusion of jazz, techno, and cosmic funk that erupts with infectious grooves.

    Motherless Father

      Your favourite DJ’s favourite DJ presents his 10-track album; "This record feels like the starting point of a new era, which I’m sure a lot of people can relate to what I mean; the tracks I recorded, the ones I’m singing over and the guests i invited have been my way to deal with the pandemic, the motherless child that I am and the father that I am. I call this record a deep pre-club record, one that will give you the energy to go out there and party but with a feeling of letting go of everything."

      Lefto Early Bird Presents The Beauty Is Inside

        Belgian DJ and tastemaker Lefto announces his latest compilation album, entitled ‘The Beauty is Inside’, on BBE Music. Eclectic sounds ranging across genres and continents make up the 19 gems contained on ‘The Beauty is Inside’, all deftly linked together by Lefto’s unrivalled taste and deep musical knowledge. “You can’t sleep on Lefto! He’s always on it...” - Gilles Peterson

        As well as showing respect for some somewhat unsung heroes from the past like Ethiopian singer Alemayehu Eshete, South African singer and actress Patience Africa and Spanish composer Pedro Ruy-Blas of seventies fusion band Dolores, Lefto looks to the future, showcasing young soul and electronic artists, including D.C.’s Dreamcastmoe, Pasadena’s Qur'an Shaheed, Regal86 from Monterrey, Antwerp’s abrahamblue and Elisa Bee from Milan, to name just a few.

        The album also features an appearance from paladin of the current jazz renaissance Makaya McCraven, and even a track from Lefto himself. “‘The Beauty is Inside’ is a compilation of original tracks (I personally really like) and tracks from friends who happen to be great artists as well” says Lefto. “They are all pretty much up-and-coming, and deserve more exposure. It has always been my job as a radio man to shine a light on the talented artists who need it the most. We all know how the music industry works, and how hard it is to find your way in that world, so I hope this collection of tracks will give these artists the shine they deserve.”
