Preview: Leftwing & Kody ft Robert Owens – I Wanna Be

Here’s something forthcoming on the amazing Lost Records by the label owners ‘Leftwing & Kody’. For this release they feature Robert Owens.

Well lets start off by mentioning the strangely addictive and dirty bass riff throughout the track, it sits nicely under some sketchy tech drums, great use of hats and snares. On top there is a synth stab pattern as well as a delayed vocal.

My poor attempt at trying to describe the track really does it no justice at all, you simply need to hear it! Check it out now, it will be available to buy from December 1st 2014 as part of their ‘I wanna Fixation’ EP..

Max Chapman – Jackin’ EP

Now here’s something I’ve been waiting quite a while to be released. Massive shout out to the lads over at Lost Records for sending this to me, this is an EP that has been featured both on my radio show and also on the May edition of the phuk podcast. Brand new out on on Leftwing & Kody’s label ‘Lost Records’ is this 5-track EP by Max Chapman and I got to say, it’s absolutely awesome & definitely something to get excited about! The EP consists of 3 original tracks and two of them have had remix treatment by Leftwing & Kody and PAWSA.

We’ll kick things off with the original mix of the title track ‘Jackin’. This has a huge kick drum and a really deep bass pattern sitting under some amazing male vocal stabs and one-liners, this one absolutely goes off in the clubs! The next track is the original mix of the track ‘Holding On’ which has a nice catchy vocal loop sat over some sketchy tech drums and a deep warpy bassline. There is a really dark element to this tune and even if I hear this on a small sound system, I can’t help but bounce my head along with it! Sitting nicely alongside the original of Holding On, is a fantastic remix by label owners Leftwing & Kody. Taking the original vocal loop and placing it over a slightly more upbeat track with an almost acidy deep sounding bass. I have tried and tested this one and it goes off guaranteed! Next up on the EP is a track called ‘Too Late’, consisting of an eerie female vocal laying nicely over a massive deep bassline, this is big! Loads of claps and snares, big builds and drops.. Huge! The final track on this 5 part EP is the PAWSA remix of title track ‘Jackin’. Now, if you don’t know who PAWSA is then you need to check out one of the previous Lost Records EP releases as this producer absolutely smashed it. Adding his spin on this track and making it brilliant! Making good use of the original vocal snippets and creating quite a dark remix with some lovely hats, shakers and subtle chords. I could honestly put this on repeat for ages, such a tune!

I can’t back this label enough, some serious releases! This one is out now..

German Brigante – Kimbo EP

Something on Leftwing & Kody’s label ‘Lost Records’, and a debut on the label for producer ‘German Brigante’. I was sent the promo of this a few weeks back and every time I play it I love it even more. The original version has a big deep, sub bassline sitting under so many deep elements, including some big choppy vocals and weird synthy stabs. Honestly, there is so much going on that it’s so hard to give it any justice through explaining, you’ll just have to hear it! Joining the original version is a quality remix from ‘Cuartero’ which has a big bouncy, and slightly warpy bassline. It kind of reminds me of the old garage days but with some huge deep drums. I really can’t wait to play this out on a big system, I can just see the crowds reaction.

Exclusive Interview: LEFTWING & KODY

This month we’ve decided to kick off a new feature to Public House UK and are now introducing featured artist interviews. We are forever reviewing new tracks by many different artists on this site and we feel that it would be great to show you who the artists are and a bit of their background.

For the first of the phuk interviews we have a dj/production duo who are absolutely smashing the deep house scene to pieces. With releases on top labels such as OFF Recordings, NOIR Music, Anjuna Deep and their own new label LOST Records. These guys are huge already after only being around since mid-2012, and can only get bigger..

For our first PHUK interview, we bring you.. LEFTWING & KODY. We kept things fairly short n’ sweet but had a few questions for them, and here they are:

So guys, how did Leftwing & Kody come about, how did you form?

Leftwing & Kody: We’ve been working together for about 5 years. we met DJ’ing at the same promotion. At the time we were both making music individually and were playing each others tracks then decided to jump in the studio together. The rest is history.

If you were to individually describe your production style in three words each, what words would they be?

Kody: Potent, Energizing, Dynamic
Leftwing: Jacking, Hooky, Hype

What’s the next step for your music, and where do you see yourselves going in 2014?

Leftwing & Kody: We have releases lined up for the first half of 2014. More music coming on OFF Recordings, Lapsus, Glasgow Underground and a 5 track EP on our own imprint Lost Records which will be out in the summer.

Hopefully the gigs will keep coming and we’ll still be gigging at the end of 2014, can’t ask for any more than that!

Your sounds are inspired by a fusion of quite British rooted club genres, like Garage and Deep House, so do you prefer playing in the UK or abroad?

Leftwing & Kody: We play a lot in the UK so it’s always very interesting to see the reaction of the crowds abroad. No real preference though we are happy playing in clubs regardless of where they are. As long as the crowd are enjoying it, we’re happy!

With a catalogue of releases on labels such as OFF, Alive & Noir, what has been your favourite release so far?

Kody: I think ‘Bump and Flex’ for me has to be the favourite as it was our breakthrough release!
Leftwing: My favourite is ‘You Were’, its almost 2 years old now and still does the damage in the clubs.

What is your inspiration in the studio?

Leftwing & Kody: Making music can be quite frustrating at times so we keep things light hearted in the studio. We are constantly taking the piss out of each other joking around and having wars with the other guys we share the studio space with.

You have launched your new label ‘Lost Records’, what style of tracks are you looking for, and are there any artists you are excited about?

Leftwing & Kody: We are looking for forward thinking music that has a nod to the past. We are really excited about the next few releases. We have 2 EP’s from some guys that are breaking through at the moment PAWSA & Origins Sound and we we’re lucky enough to sign a track from German Brigante who we think is going to be massive this year. We also have a remix on one of the packages by ‘Copy Paste Soul’, we think he’s going to have a big year also.

A huge thank you to Leftwing & Kody for taking the time out to answer our questions, we certainly look forward to their future projects and I will definitely be heading our to one of their London gig soon. You can follow Leftwing & Kody at the following places (click on the links):

Pawsa – Pilot EP

Out on Lost Records and a debut on the label for Pawsa. There’s four tracks on this EP release including 3 originals and a remix from Supernova. The first is ‘Pilot’, a nice deep bassline sitting under a big flowing drum pattern with some great sounding twitchy shakers, very eerie flow but awesome! The second track is called ‘Narcissist’ and is slightly more upbeat, nice techy drums & stabby synth with a very deep bass pattern. This definitely needs to be heard on a big club system to really appreciate it, huge tune! The final track is ‘Pretty Good Debbie’ which features the Supernova remix. The original has a great breakdown and a vocal by Denzel Washington taken from the film ‘Training Day’. Also has a nice build and drop into a deep techy corker. The Supernova remix is a slightly more upbeat version with a flowing synth and an acid warp sounding bassline, massive tune! Although all tracks are brilliant, I’d say my favourite is Pilot. Check out all four tracks on this single Soundcloud sample.
