Leonski was born in Switzerland but moved in his very early 20s to Berlin where he spent quite a few years, followed then by Mexico, where he’s still based at the moment.
Through travels and nightlife experiences around the globe, his sound is much inspired by disco, afro & latin music, blues and deeper house elements which reflects in his sets and own productions.

Dicky Trisco – Brasilian Beats Mix

Big thanks to Gouranga for asking me to do this special mix. They asked for a themed mix. So I decided to do a blend of Brasilian Beats as I realised that I had been learning about the wonderful music of Brasil over the last five years by playing at events and festivals there, in particular at the amazing Mareh festival in Bahia.  Along the road I have met many wonderful people, visited some stunning places, had a lot of good times and made some lasting friendships. There have also been a few hangovers too I must admit. This mix is about them and dedicated to them all.

Now first thing I have to confess is that I am no expert on Brasilian music. This is the story of a learner’s journey into the music and the people who have influenced and guided me. For me music is all about people and relationships. People are what brings music into your life, brings it alive and gives it significance. I could say that in my life music has meant people, and people has meant music. 

I have had many amazing guides on my journey into Brasilian music and the influences of all those people are scattered throughout this mix – people like Joutro Mundo; Selvagem; Ray Mang; Eddie C; Balako; JKriv; Pete Herbert; Guga Roselli; Joakim; Carrot Green and not forgetting the amazing collector Undomundo from Istanbul who sent me my first bundle of Brasilian music way back then. I am proud to call of these people my friends as well as my guides (especially on dark nights).

Most of these people have also contributed in one way or another to the Barefoot Beats label, which has been all about spreading the word about great Brasilian music through DJ-orientated reworks. In fact, many of those reworks are at the heart of this mix.

Throughout the whole process of gathering the music and mixing it together on the decks in my studio, I was filled with joy and memories – drinking whisky and listening to new music in the heat of the day in Bahia, searching for records on stalls in Downtown Rio, playing on boat parties in Boipeba and on rooftops in Sao Paulo and the thrill of playing to 3000 people in a warehouse in the port of Rio. All music lovers need to keep refreshing their approach and keeping the buzz alive. I got my buzz in Brasil!

I hope you enjoy the journey and the music. I know I have loved finding it and putting it together. And please dig deeper into the music of Brasil, the country and its fantastic people. You will be rewarded with similar memories, friendships and good times.

And massive thanks to Gouranga for hosting the mix and encouraging me to pull it all together.

Spa In Disco - Tropical Disco #011 - LEO LEONSKI

Brazilian Disco Boogie Funk House Afro 70'S & 80'S & Reworks

Set fazendo um passeio pela Disco, Boogie, Soul, Funk, House e Afro,Brasileiras, especialmente Brazilian Boogie em versões editadas ou Rework, remix de Músicas do final de 70'S e início de 80'S, onde algumas eram hits e outras desconhecidas.

O Boogie compreendeu o período do final de 70'S e início de 80', o que chamamos de Pós Disco, e tem laços estreitos com a DISCO o que faz as vezes confundi-los.

Selos Britânicos apostam no Soul Brasileiros dos anos 70, resgatando assim raras gravações do Samba Funk, da Disco, Funk e do Soul Brasileiro, fazendo do Funk Brasileiro, único.Isso permitiu que muitos Djs incluissem em seus sets.O som sempre bem tropical, uma fusão de sons com misturas, e que hoje se proliferou para o mundo.


Naquela época surgiam dois grandes compositores e produtores , Robson Jorge & Lincoln Olivetti, duas lendas. Fizeram um Projeto com grandes músicos, trazendo o que há de melhor na musicalidade brasileira, fazendo com que os Djs redescobrissem, levando para pista. Licoln Olivetti fez arrranjos para nomes de cantores importante da Música Brasileira. Um cara que normalizou, digamos assim, a música Brasileira, trazendo um nível de qualidade comparada com a música estrangeira, tanto na forma de compor, como os arranjos impecáveis, tonando-o um mestre, um verdadeiro gênio, que contribuiu sem dúvida para o Brazilian Boogie e Brazilian Funk. Serviu de influência musical para muitos. 

Outro grande mestre do Jazz Funk do Brasil que não poderíamos esquecer é o Azymuth com seus solos instrumentais e o groove forte em suas produções, também a BAnda Black Rio,  com seus Boogies sofisticados, dentre outros que se fôssemos citar iria ser longo esse texto.

De uns tempo para cá a Boogie Brasileira tomou força, e hoje pesquisando, notamos vários sets com rítmos brasileiros de uma perspectiva universal. No meu set, reunir músicas, editadas, re-editas ou rework e remix,colocando mais peso nas músicas com batidas eletrônicas, mais arranjos, versões extremamente ousadas e fascinantes das mentes criativas dos produtores. 

Nas minhas extremas pesquisas, vir que a Disco tá forte, e têm muitos Djs Produtores com Edits ou Rework, remix, dos funk,Soul, Disco, dando mais peso nas músicas e voltando a reviver essa época. Vale ressaltar que dezenas de amantes ainda ficam hipnotizados pelas músicas, onde o objetivo é fazer a pista de dança no mundo afora.

Set Brazillian Boogie Soul  Funk House Afro 70's & 80's & Reworks  July 2019 By Augusto Carvalho

An eclectic mix of afro disco and some latin house songs that come along with some vintage vibes, mixed by Leo Leonski for Gitano Tulum, September 2019.

Leo Leonski's Afro Tropidisco Set

Mais um set de Músicas Brasileiras dos anos 70's e 80's, ponto central desse trabalho, resgatando discos raros da época com esse material pesquisado , depois de muitas pesquisas, podendo assim contribuir para o público do mundo todo que estiver oportunidade de escutá-lo.

O que gosto de fazer é mostrar o meu conhecimento musical e passar isso para o público e mostrar que músicas boas não tem idade. Eu gosto de Músicas, sem me rotular, eu escuto e a partir do meu feeeling, naquilo que eu acredito, eu faço meus sets.
