Leon Vynehall DJ-Kicks

First to take the reins of the DJ-Kicks mix series in 2019 will be ever
evolving UK artist, Leon Vynehall. His 26-track mix features new
material from the man himself, as well as exclusives by Hessle
Audio and Timedance affiliate, Ploy, rising newcomer Peach, and
Pavilion, plus a number of gems that will be available digitally for
the first time ever.
In a short space of time, Leon Vynehall has established himself as
a DJ and producer with real craft. He brings a much wider than
usual array of skills and influences to electronic music, and is
always as likely to talk about minimalism, post-punk, or hip-hop as
he is house and techno. This comprehensive approach to was
confirmed by his spellbinding debut album Nothing Is Still on Ninja
Tune in June 2018. An imagined soundtrack to his grandparents'
emigration from the UK to New York throughout the 1960s, it told a
distinctive story that unfolded into a resonant narrative; a richly
layered affair filled with curveballs and a wealth of adventurous
ideas that Vynehall pulled off with confidence and style.
It’s the same story with his DJs sets, and particularly this DJ-Kicks
mix, which goes from 79-169bpm in fluid fashion. Always
interesting and distinctly diverse both in genre and tempo, the mix
works in a range of settings, as was the artist’s aim.
