Bside Incoming: LeonxLeon

Episode #171 of Bside Podcasts warmly welcomes the Parisian producer/DJ/collector - LeonxLeon.

LeonxLeon was raised by a family with a passion for making music. His father was a sound engineer who built synthesizers with him, some of which he still uses that are uniquely built from scratch in the 70's. He became involved in the ever exciting Paris electronic music scene in the early 2000's via CBS/IntergalacticFM's database with a love for proto-house and italo-house. Since 2013 he has been producing and releasing EP's/ tracks / edits on Red Laser Records (Manchester) and Cracki Records (Paris) with heavy italo, acid, disco influences. Also an established DJ, he has been booked all over Europe and thrown parties across France with his crew - Les Yeux Orange who he also does the final mastering of their releases.

For his Bside Podcast we are treated to a fine selection of his extensive collection, except House, Italo, Jazz/Funk.

Enjoy!

Bside podcasts

DJ's showcase and speak a little about their favourite tracks from the B-side of their records.

We endeavour to broadcast the best of the B-side:
a bi-weekly invitation into the impressive record collections of some of our favourite selectors.
An exploration into the the back-catalogues, the deepest depths, the darkest crevices of their collections. Returning with the spoils of this venture: their most cherished records and hidden gems, from the go-to club weapons to the rarely heard home-listening records, and everything in between.

Music is for sharing.

'By the early sixties, the song on the A-side was the 'hit' song that the record company wanted radio stations to play. The B-side would contain less radio friendly and less popular tracks. In our eyes the B-side is a true reflection of the producers taste in music, there is more personality on that side of the record'.
