Love putting this on to get me through the work day 

Getting chills listening to this mix (again) - by this part of your mix, I'm calmer and my inner playa dust-lover comes out to play! Thank you!

Listening (again!) 8 months later... LOVE THIS so much! You're a gift!

Ugggg Pumpkin's remix of this tune has a special place in my 💖

"I'm gonna be a dirty hippie until the end of my days..." MAGIC

I think this last track should be the THEME SONG for Burning Man, so good!

...beginning of the song that SHOUTS I'm a burner! xo

Such a great transition, and vibe! xoxo!!

Solar Beats Productions Presents JuicySqwad's 2nd get down...! Enjoy this bangin collaboration by @subsqwad & @juicyjunglist.

All Kinds Of Bangers [DJ Set Feat. Juicy Junglist]

LadyK's Afro Vocal mix is beautiful and lush, with dancefloor heaters that predominate the second half of this musical experience.  

This mix is second in a series of genre-specific mixes that I'm creating, as prep for summer dancefloor fun as well as to highlight the amazing tracks and artists that don't always get air time in my sets.  Usually in a 90 minute performance I touch in on a variety of ethnic subgenres, and I'm excited to highlight these areas of my music collection for an hour each, for your listening pleasure <3

Ott and Drumspyder also played this show at Nector... a cozy spot in Seattle. I played the opening slot and played music to fit that situation. Much love to everyone listening to this! Thanks for sharing it around.

Easy Go (2016) Edit

On the fly and off the cuff. No plan, no destination. Just freely associating and going with a flow. This recording remains but the memory of hitting the record button is long since gone. One of those moments captured in time and as rough and as ready as ever...

Respect to the artists and labels who put these good vibes out there. Proper credits to come when I remember who did what.

@patricio_la Motta has been forging a style of his own in Los Angeles since the first time he stepped behind the turntables in 1992. Drawing on the passion and soul instilled in him growing up in Buenos Aires, Argentina, he has blurred out all confines of genres. As a music curator he took on the responsibility of creating a high vibration sonic journey for the FAVELA BAR. One of the stages at Lightning In A Bottle festival with some of the best vibes. A place where people find themselves lost in the music for hours

Los Cabra & Slow Disko - Ganga Feat RLHBSLCN (Coss Remix)

Annually, Burning Man ignites to inspire art in the hearts of many.  One of the greatest impacts of BM in my opinion is that it changes people’s perception and understanding of both what ‘art’ is, how powerful it can be, and how it’s as much about the act of making it as the result.  Essentially, if art was a religion, then Burning Man would be it’s Mecca.

Personally, BM is my reminder to live an artful life, and as such, I have begun the tradition of trying to send fresh art to the playa annually to help co-create that place of magic so that I am at least there in spirit if I can’t be there in the flesh.

What I’ve created here is an eclectic mix of some of my favorite songs. This mix is full of head-bobbin, groovy tunes that put you in a flow state.  It’s for when you’re ready for a break from bangin’ dance tunes, but still want something with some energy that you can just chill to.  It’s great driving music, so that’s the inspiration for it’s title.

This piece of art comes from a deeply emotional place.  I've been going through a time of deep introspection lately, and frankly, was kind of feeling down. Then, recently, I got the hit to channel that emotion into art. I originally put this playlist together for a festival I played earlier this summer, but didn't record. Well... I put my home studio to use, and had a cathartic night of music to myself and this live recording is the result. It worked. My smile came back. 

I hope you enjoy listening to this mix as much as I enjoyed making it...and while you're here, please 'follow me' for more...  : )

Much love,

Leif

PS. Thanks for the road-trip title inspiration Matt & Mario.

I have been sitting on this one for a little while but decided to release it. I have mostly been putting stuff out via the Purple Room, but decided it was time to put something on my solo account. 

This track combines a mix of flavors and styles from some various world music samples, backed by a slower house beat. I hope you guys dig it.

I Can Feel It

From Dark To Light (2020) mix by Kelso

Midnight Community is a new radio series broadcasting exclusive sets from artists all over the world who in our opinion have real eclectic taste when it comes to Electronic Music.

For episode #22 we have https://soundcloud.com/djmurge selecting.

A sonic alchemist, Murge weaves the eclectic and the electric to create dancefloor-centric beats that fill the space and lift the crowd. Inspired by travels through eastern Spain, Here We All Are is a cohesive collection of downtempo tracks, filled with fresh, earthy bass and neoteric instrumentals. Unorthodox sounds intertwine to create an expansive aural journey; one of connection and elevation. Pulling from across a variety of genres, Murge’s influences are wide ranging and free flowing; from the Cosmic era of disco to psychedelic jazz, from Latin rhythms fused with the elasticity and inclusiveness of world-inspired music to field recordings of ambient samples, captured during his own global travels.

Midnight Community #22 w/ Murge - 06.01.21

I caught Covid at the beginning of January 2021... worst 2 weeks I can ever remember.  This mix came through all the struggles, feels, pains, regrets and eventually BLISS when it was all over .. these tracks got me through the dark times.   I'm proud of this mix ... it takes you through the struggle THAT WAS ALL SO REAL.   It's a banger, yet gentle and takes you through the fight Covid survivors had to go through

Covid Fatigue - January 2021

Funky grooves to get you through yet another lockdown. Traversing the tribal, bass and funkadelic realms.

Lockdown Grooves 3.0

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!!!
