Leftwing & Kody ft. Robert Owens – I Wanna Be

Leftwing & Kody’s fresh – and much lauded – take on house and techno has so far won them champions like Loco Dice, Jimmy Edgar, Huxley, Laurent Garnier, Dusky, Sasha and Bicep. The pair now caps a whirlwind year with their final release of 2014, the 4 track ‘I Wanna Fixation EP’, featuring legendary house vocalist, Robert Owens.
 
Afforded ‘ones to watch’ status from a series of original EP and single releases on labels including Anjunadeep, Noir, OFF Recordings, Suara and Exploited, Leftwing & Kody have become Beatport chart regulars, leading to remixes for artists including Todd Terry, Darius Syrossian, Romanthany, Roland Clarke, and Hot Creations’ Cera Alba.
 
It’s easy to hear why; on record, they craft electronic music for the dancefloor that doesn’t leave its head at the door, creating 21st century machine soul that’s the edgier, difficult cousin to the current house boom. Stylistically there’s a nod in homage to dance culture’s bygone eras, but the music carries an energy that says their time is now.
 
‘I Wanna Be’ features their expertly crafted basslines, skittering percussion, and their signature deep, hypnotic groove, giving Robert Owens the perfect 2014 platform to let loose upon. waFF steps up for remix duties on ‘I Wanna Be’, and the package is completed with a second new LW&K production featuring Owens; ‘Fixation’ comes in the form of Main and Dark mixes.
 
Despite their busy production schedule and much nurtured studio tans, Leftwing & Kody juggle a Rinse FM radio show, and a tour diary that’s stretched across the UK underground to Ibiza and beyond. Forthcoming shows for London’s Qube, Leeds’ Mint Club and Manchester’s Sankey’s show their appeal has reached all parts of Britain’s house nation.
 
Not content with their own production exploits, the pair’s own label, Lost Records, has released music from Darius Syrossian, Hector, Josh Butler, Waifs & Strays, Cera Alba, and Phillip Bader.
