Funk Ferret - Base FM - The Jukebox - 44 - 2021/10/02

Dawntempo is my take on an alternate late night vibe...  when at the end of a night out, the sky is teasing purple, and people are ready to sit down to connect with friends they are faced with a choice… stay out, or head home.  If they can find a place where the vibes are chill, and there’s some comfy seating, then the party is elongated over smiles, laughter, and blissed out emotional beats.

And if the scene is just enticing enough… that critical mass makes it to sunrise to imprint their most magical highlight reel memories.

I believe (true) downtempo is a lost art and that this early morning slot is the perfect place for its triumphant return as people dance, cuddle or converse while FEELING beautiful bass music fueling forever friendships.

I've been known as the sunrise guy for years, but I've come to believe that it's really all about the dawn...

This mix was recorded live at my friend J’s 50th.  Happy B-Day J!

Recorded live at Burning Man 2022.

An impromptu renegade set in Joe and Sammi's van, during a whiteout.
Saturday, Daytime 2:00-3:00pm

GOATNADO (Burning Man 2022, Renegade Whiteout Party - Saturday)

In honour of our brand-new single, 'Hypnotise', we've whipped up a half hour mix of all the soulful dance music, deep club beats, and house grooves that inspired it. Instead of digging into our usual record crates of fat funk breaks and party hip-hop, we've pulled out driving gospel house, sweet Afrobeat, and plenty of other classic and upfront 4/4 flavours to get down to. Enjoy!

DJ Surgeon - Soul Purpose (Feb 2017)

DJ Leif Time is a musical story-teller, with a love for downtempo, chill-out vibes highlighted by his signature nustalgica collection — nostalgic tracks updated by a modern electronica sound.  After 2 decades collecting gems and seamlessly stitching them together, his sets have an arc and flow that bring listeners on a journey through time and sound to make them groove, dance, cuddle or converse.  His distinct style of uplifting music that inspires smiles and appeals to diverse audiences means people wake up in their tents and know “Leif is playing… I’ve gotta get up and be there!”  It was a fan of his that described his music as "The Soundtrack for Life," and his mixes are the go-to choice for road-trips, after-hours hangouts, dinner parties, and daily life.  

He cites Mark Farina's Mushroom Jazz vol. 1 as his favorite album of all-time and his direct inspiration to both become a dj and take his artistic endeavors down the road less travelled of the downtempo art form.

If you’ve enjoyed one of his mixes here, please consider visiting his website, http://www.djleiftime.com and joining his VIP mailing list to get exclusive releases, stay informed of his upcoming events, and personally connect.  Since so much of his impact happens in random living rooms across diverse geographies, he loves to hear from and connect with fans directly to replace the visual fan feedback loop normally present at a live performance.

Much of his exposure comes from fans sharing his mixes, so your outspoken appreciation of his music is what fuels what he does...  Thank you!!!
