Analogue producer and audiophile partyman Leonidas made his debut as a recording artist in 2012  on Kay Suzuki’s Round In Motion label, with his “Sequential” EP, gaining acclaim from the likes of Manuel Gottsching, Theo Parrish, and DJ Harvey. He collaborated with Suzuki on two further EPs (Synqlock Vol I & II) and worked concurrently with Edinburgh label owner Hobbes on three vinyl releases, including the Balearic disco hit “Web of Intrigue,” which topped Bill Brewster’s 2017 DJ poll. Their 2021 EP Aranath received support from industry heavyweights and BBC 6 Music.

In 2013, following the release of their debut “Machine Tapes & Electronic Setups”, Leonidas & Hobbes were commissioned to remix The Pet Shop Boys’ “Vocal”. Leonidas has contributed remixes to labels such as Stupid Human Records and Mont Lake, and co-wrote a total of 4 tracks on Jpye's 2 albums on Claremont 56.

He has appeared on over a dozen vinyl releases and several compilations, including DJ Harvey’s “The Sound Of Mercury Rising Vol II”. In 2020, his track "Love For Black Lives," inspired by Bob James, won a competition on Francois Kevorkian's "World of Echoes" page, earning praise from Bill Brewster, Ashley Beedle and Ross Allen, among others.

In 2024, Leonidas & Hobbes released their debut album Pockets of Light, a 14-track exploration into climate change, reality, UFOs, and AI, gaining critical acclaim.
