This set was performed on the Pioneer DDJ-400 which I just acquired. I am pretty impressed with this box. I used all four tracks to mix minimal tracks that go well together. In this set, there is less than 20% of the time that you are listening to just one track. Most of the time you are hearing two or three, sometimes four tracks at the same time.

Love Bottle, Unopened

This set was played at 4am at a Campout in California, May 2022, when the temperature dropped down to 43ºF, and it was cold AF. I was asked to help people warm up, and that's what I did with this rare techno exposé that I haven't done in years. For the last 15 or so years I've been playing mostly house, so this minimal techno/tech-house is a departure from my "norm", which is actually my favorite type of challenge. Because — how else do we grow, right?

Moofie was a cat like no other. She watched Star Trek, listened to loads of electronic music & gave her love at every corner. She was a luv muffin. She will be missed unless she survives in the ether.

Moofie I ❤️ you Groove

This is a DJ Remix of the short 3-minute track I uploaded a few months ago. It was dedicated to my sweet kittie Moofie, who left us at 13 years old. She was the sweetest thing alive that I knew. 


I was asked to make a DJ remix, so I added some new elements and made the DJ lead in and lead out. Leave comments, please!

Moofie I ♥️ You (DJ Remix)

Sweet Crazy Kittie Raver

This is one of the most emotional sets I've ever played. I was scheduled to play at 4am, 2nd to last DJ of the night, while the darkness lifted from the trees and the dawn illuminated faces on the dance floor, my "job" was not to ruin this magical moment, but build something else on top of it. Deep, atmospheric, melancholic, and just generally magical – is how I would describe this set.

This was played on Traktor S4 using all 4 decks: A/B for tracks, C for live input from Native Instruments Massive synth, and D being a sample deck with my own house loops loaded. It is not uncommon to hear 3 and sometimes all 4 decks at once.

(DJ Set) Delusions of Technofei

This is a groovy and uplifting set, with lots of disco references, old school samples and, in general, fits a perfect Mediterranean sunset beach club set. Like something you might find on the Greek island of Paros, or Ibiza, or Mallorca. Put your headphones on, and give it a listen. Any feedback is much appreciated. Love, LeftCtrl.

Frolic Campout 2017

(DJ Set, Pool House) "0FOX1 @ Frolic Campout 2017 Saturday Poolside"

One of the few public downtempo sets I ever played. This set was played in the chill room at Make Waves, The Rhythm Society's March 2019 ANDC event on the glorious USS Hornet, anchored in Alameda as a WWII museum. It was an epic event, with a lot of stimulation, so I played some of my all time favorite downtempo tracks, ranging from 1990s to some released a less than a month ago. The result is a 1hr 20 minute downtempo journey, that's sexy, atmospheric, and yet maintains that signature LeftCtrl groove. Listen and please leave comments if you like it!

LeftCtrl Live at Frolic Pondside, 2012

LeftCtrl —(also known as PolyGroovers, or DJ Zeel, real name: Konstantin Gredeskoul) started DJ-ing in the Bay Area in 1998, having been inspired and encouraged by @djethan Ethan Miller (FnF, BrassTax) among others. 

Konstantin produces downtempo music as PolyGroovers, (see https://soundcloud.com/polygroovers for more information).

Starting with the underground rave parties where he threw down Detroit Techno on vinyl, LeftCtrl played all over the Bay Area, with additional appearances in the UK, Spain, and Australia. 

He collaborated with @kem, Captain Tinrib, @henry-navarro and many more.

LeftCtrl's DJ sets feature a storyline, harmonic depth, and a smooth and deep, melodic, nearly always syncopated and groovy sound. Konstantin is an obsessively technical mixer, who admits to the most anal-retentive pitch-matching of the mixes, resulting in some of his entire sets played in the same key.

Since about. 2020, LeftCtrl refocused on the composition and production of tracks for the dance floor: house, progressive, and many genre bending tracks. Currently collecting sufficient portfolio for the upcoming releases in yet to be determined label.
